2012 College Football Thread

All this TAMU/SEC talk is getting me excited for this upcoming season

To be edited once pre-season rankings come out

I can't wait! I think USC and Alabama (again) are the teams to beat.

What's going on down in Athens, Georgia? On paper they were a top 5 team heading into this year, but Crowell got kicked off and they've had to suspend a ton of other key players.

Keith Price for 2012 Heisman!

^^^LOL. Let the annual off-season Husky delusions begin. Now I know it's summer! .

Kidding (kind of). I think Price will be an outstanding QB for you, but the Heisman puts a lot of weight on the W/L record of a candidate's team and given the start of UW's schedule - he's likely to be out of the discussion pretty quickly. If he stays, he'll stand a better shot in 2013.

Much as it GREATLY pains me to say it....if I had to nominate a likely Pac-12 candidate this year it would be Barkley, but it'll probably end up being some kid nobody's heard of yet who explodes out of nowhere. Seems to be the pattern.

This is the only game that matters right now:



Sadly, it sold out before I could purchase tickets. It's in my alma mater's town, so I'll likely head to a local bar during the game.

^^^Well you don't have much competition in terms of competetive, exciting games.

I'll still go with Washington State versus BYU though because a) I think it's the first game of the season and b) I'm just dying to see the return of Mike Leach.

What's going on in Athens is what goes on every year. They have players in trouble every summer. It usually doesn't hurt them too much in the Richt era.

For the record, I think Michigan has a chance of beating Alabama....not a great chance, but a chance....and now that Rich Rod is gone, I have no problem rooting for them to do so.
