2011 NCAA College Football Discussion thread

Well, college football is right around the corner, im so excited for this year saying that I really dont have an idea of who will be the top team this year.

Here is my projections for the conferences this year........

*SEC*
Alabama, LSU and Auburn are projected to be on top this year (shocker lol) but look for sleepers in this conference like South Carolina, Mississippi State, and Georgia. dont think Florida will be on top of the conference but will still have a decent schedule and obviously I'm hoping to see Tennessee do good, they could possibly end up being 2nd in the SEC East but their schedule is hard as shit. Look for whoever comes out of the SEC number one to be in the BCS title game as usual.

*ACC*

Looking forward to watch the ACC this year. VT is looking like the team to beat, but they will have trouble with Florida State, Clemson, and Miami. Florida State is projected to be high in the preseason poles so hopefully we can see those amazing high scoring games for the ACC title betweeen FSU and VT again. (hope FSU comes out on top, i hate VT and UVA lol)

*Big Ten*

Well, Ohio State WAS looking good until all the problems came upon them. They've lost all their star recruits to rival teams and they've lost their head coach and star QB. Pryor was looking like the favorite for the Heisman but thats done. This conference will be good to watch also. The favorites IMO are Wisconsin and Michigan. But remember the Big Ten actually has a title game this year. Sleepers in the series will be Penn State and Nebraska.

*Pac-12*

Oregon and Stanford for the favorites obviously haha. Remember USC still cant go to a bowl game because they are still under that mass penalty (thank god, and fuck Lane Kiffin). sleepers in this series will be Oregon State, California, and UCLA. LaMichael James (Oregon RB) is my favorite to win the Heisman so far)


*Mountain West Conference*

Well now that Boise State is in the MWC, they will actually have somewhat of a stronger schedule. Their only hard teams are Georgia (first game of the season in the Georgia Dome, CANT WAIT) and TCU obviously. whoever wins the TCU-Boise State game mid season, they pretty much win the MWC lol. Look for TCU to win this conference and every one is going to be begging for them to get a title bid, wouldn't mind seeing TCU vs. whoever comes out of the SEC

here are some others......

*Independent Team*

BYU is the latest team to join the independents, they have a pretty hard schedule playing TCU, at Texas, and at Oregon State so I dont see them doing too good. Notre Dame will be the best of the independents, they always have a top 15 recruiting class but can't do anything with it. some projections have them in the top 10 and 15 to start the season so look out for them. They also have a hard schedule so the computers will be in favor of them if they do well.

*Big 12*

The big 12 should be very interesting this year. Oklahoma is the obvious favorite but watch out for Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. Really excited for the Oklahoma-FSU game on Sep. 17th.


ill be posting more later and if anybody else has projections for this year id love to hear them

Go Boise State and Utah tbh.

I actually see this as the year were the SEC doesn't make it to the National Title. There are going to be some big upsets this year that's going to be the cause of it. I'll be happy if Auburn can get 8 wins this season, and they can beat Georgia or Alabama. I see Boise State getting their dreams, a shot at the National Championship, but loosing it to either Oklahoma or Wisconsin. I do believe that Arkansas and South Carolina will make it to the SEC Championship and Carolina will get their first SEC title. That's my predictions.

Florida will be a top 10 team if they are lucky. This is probably a rebuilding year as far as I'm concerned with a new head coach and OC. But if Mr. Weiss can straighten out this horrible play calling it will be a step in the right direction. The offense as a whole had no rhythm at all.

I still think an SEC school will be in the title game again (hoping lol). Arkansas has a cupcake schedule the 1st 3 weeks then they get Bama. Believe it or not I think Tennessee has a chance at surprising a lot of people this year. Their schedule sets up really nice. I'm pulling for either Arkansas or LSU in the west and I think if Arkansas can get by Bama they will have a great shot at at least getting to Atlanta. Auburn will be down this year, but not as down as most people are assuming. We've got great talent from 2 top 5 recruiting classes, they are just very young. This year will be a year where the coaching staff will be able to show how good they really are. On the other hand if this season doesn't go so well it's not going to make people think to much of them lol.

Early predictions for SEC:

West winner:
Arkansas - Have a very doable schedule
LSU - Lots of talent, but Miles will find a way to loose at least 1 or 2 games
Bama - Lots of talent, Hoping the Iron Bowl will keep them out of the championship lol

East Winner:
South Carolina - Best WR & top 3 RB. If they beat Georgia and Florida they're in.
Georgia - Best QB in SEC, Mark Richt has to do something this season or he's gone
Tennessee - Why not lol? Very nice schedule.

If an SEC team doesn't get into the BCS title game, its because they all will beat each other lol, and I wouldn't be surprised depending on everybody's record that a SEC team gets in with one loss, but its very doubtful this year.

also Tennessee does have a good shot schedule wise, its gonna be tough for them midseason- they play Georgia, LSU, at Bama, and South Carolina in that order. if they can survive with only one or no loss through that stint i think they have the SEC East. the beginning and end of their schedule is quite easy lol. i see Tauren Poole maybe being a contender for the heisman this year. he pulled out just over 1000 yds. rushing last year so i only see him improving

Butch Davis "dismissed" as UNC head football coach. Haven't heard why, must have dont something recruiting wise because they're coming off a pretty decent year.

Some scandal, just heard it walking through the living room after using the restroom lol

Illinois has a decent shot at winning the Big 10 this year

Go Noles!!!!!!!!!!!!!
