Official 2010 College Football Discussion

Today is the today, ladies and gentlemen!  Today is the official kickoff of the newest season of college football!  If you like college football, you can discuss all about it here in this thread.  If you want to talk about sometimes else, then leave(no, seriously, leave).  But if you want to talk about your favorite college team, USC getting bitch slapped by the NCAA, Alabama's road to repeat, or North Carolina's impending doom, then you've come to the right place!
 
Even though this is football, please keep the discuss somewhat civil, guys.  Other than than, enjoy the brand spanking new college football season!
 
 

Once tables get figured out, I will post the weekly Top 25 schedules and rankings.

Roll Tide Roll!!!!Sorry I had to be that guy...

Here's hoping for another 7-5 season and another random bowl game in Tennessee.
 
Haha, seriously though, I hope we kill Louisville.

I hope Rutgers can get back to at least a 10 win season and maybe a BCS appearance. Alright, that was way too much to ask.
 
I hope Rutgers can at least beat West Virginia this year. Alright, that was probably way too much to ask as well. I can't even remember the last time they beat WVU (assuming they actually have).
 
Come on Rutgers?

Michigan is my team! But they really need a comeback, and I've heard some people say this year could be a decent year. The first step is to get rid of Rich Rod. It's gone downhill since he's started coaching. He's a horrible coach.

" @CitizenKane: Yes. He's actually had very decent recruiting classes, but still managed to mess things up. "

Michigan will always get at least good recruiting classes, no matter how bad they are.  Same with Notre Dame.  There are still kids around the country who want to play for those schools just to play for those schools because of the history they represent. "

Go Huskers! (because after seeing your new brutal Big 10 schedule that starts next year, things are going to get a lot more difficult!)

USC...*sigh* I'll be over here watching the rest of you have fun. Fuck.

Crazy game going on in Utah. 24-21 Utah (anyone beating Pittsburgh is good by me).
 
:03 left, 30 yard field goal and they kick it. It's good, but a timeout is called.
 
Field goal again, this time it misses, another timeout is called.
 
Third and final field goal and it's good. Now we're in OT. I hope Utah can pull out the win.
 
24-24.

My school won today 33-0. Go Central Michigan! FIRE UP CHIPS!

Florida looked completely incompetent on offense.  It was seriously the worst thing I have seen in a while. 

So apparently in Disney's new deal for ESPN with TIme Warner/Bright House, we get ESPN3 now. It's. So. Coooool. I don't go to a "real" college (just the local community one), but I like sports so I'm watching two games for schools my friends go to.

Roll Tide!!! Alabama def looks primed to repeat.  oh, and what about  Jax State!?!?!?!

I don't know what's more shocking to me - North Dakota State over Kansas 6-3 or Jacksonville over Ole Miss 49-48.  Not a good start for Turner Gill at Kansas though.

Yeah I agree with Citizen Kane about UF.  As a huge Florida fan I have to say that we looked pretty terrible on offense.  We looked pretty good on the defensive side of the ball especially our secondary but it was against lowly Miami of Ohio.  I think our offense has nowhere to go, but up so that's the most promising thing I got from the whole game.

Ryan Mallett for the Heisman!

Reggie Bush will be stripped of his Heisman Trophy and the 2005 year left vacant.

Oregon has a much harder path this year than last with possible stumbling blocks @ 4-5 games depending on what Tenn team shows up. But that is the least of the worries.  
 
Stanford and USC will be tough this year luckily we have 1 of the 2 @ home. And Washington might catch us sleeping after what is no doubt going to be a tough game @ LA. And like last year the Rose Bowl (if not greater) could be decided with the Civil War game like it has the past two years.  
 
I really hope that Ore. st. bounces back into the top 25 and no better way than beating Boise St. in two weeks which will solve all kinds of problems 1. eliminate boise st. for NC talks 2. bump up the SoS for the ducks and allows us to get close to the top of the polls 3. Soften any future loses that beavers might have (stanford, USC) who they play before us in succession.  
 
Barely finished with Week 1 and all ready the season is interesting. 

I'm a student at UA, and let me tell you, goddamn it felt good to be in the stadium for the first 2 games.
Feels good to be on top, good luck to everyone else though, ;)

I think this topic should be stickied on the off-topic forum, as well as the NFL Discussion thread.
 
Anyways, if you haven't watched a Michigan game yet, you should soon, or at least see some highlights. Denard Robinson, their starting QB, is kicking some serious butt right now. Wikipedia helps sum it up around 3.4.3. In just 2 games this year, he already has well over 400 yards rushing, nearly 900 yards of total offense, 5 touchdowns, 0 turnovers, and has broken the Michigan records for total offense, twice. He accounted for all but 30 yards of Michigan's 532 yards of offense against Notre Dame yesterday, had the most rushing yards in a Big Ten single-game, and the longest TD run ever at Notre Dame Stadium. This is all in just 2 games, which Michigan won. He is only a sophomore, and he is already bringing the Michigan program back to it's winning roots. Definitely a competitor for the Heisman trophy, if not a front runner.

Bump for people.
 
Let's just say is Jacory Harris wasn't fucking retarded, Miami would have beaten Ohio State.  Oh well, at least the ACC appears to be god awful and Miami should win it and get to a BCS game.

Whoever pinned this, a huge thank you!
EDIT: By the way, I have a better gut feeling for Georgia Tech than Georgia U...

Oh my god. Can Oregon be killing any harder?!

" Let's just say is Jacory Harris wasn't fucking retarded, Miami would have beaten Ohio State.   "

" Go Ducks!  No. 5 this week and only going up :] "

" Go Ducks!  No. 5 this week and only going up :] "

Im a big vtech fan sooo I don't care about College Football for another year

All right! Michigan is 3-0!

Fucking SMU....oh well I hope Oregon State beats Boise so people can stop talking about them.

At this point, I'm just praying from here on out that Washington doesn't get another pasting like Nebraska gave them.  Sigh.

It's like having to watch reruns of your least favorite show every weekend, every year... Arkansas chokes again.

I'm worried a little bit about Alabama next week as well but there defense looked rather pedestrian against Arkansas and with Trey Burton kind of coming out I think it might give us a little wrinkle they might not be completely prepared for.  We will see this weekend. Go Gators!!!

Oregon's gonna beat Stanford. This is beasty.

Oregon Oregon Oregon.

Awesome to see all the Oregon fans in this thread, we put the hurt on Stanford and the way USC is playing I'd be more worried about UCLA after the way they beat Texas in Austin the way they did. Going to be an interesting year with the 3 way race for the NC game between Ore, Boise, and OSU.  

I had no idea we had so many Oregon fans here on Giant Bomb.

Wolfpack up to #21 suckaaa! 

So Rutgers is in the national spotlight tonight at 7:30, on ESPN against UConn. I really hope they can win.

HAHAHAH YES! DOWN BAMA!  
 
Oregon is now in control of its own destiny. Season is turning out better than I could've ever expected.
