Official 2007 NCAA Football Season

[Mr. X]

I'll root for any team in the Pac 10 except USC. Thats only because USC has the most bandwagon fans I've ever seen.

I'll send you an Illinois t-shirt.

[buck...]

I can root for most big ten teams, and the year that ohio state won it, I found myself rooting for them. But I also despised Miami so i was like what the hell. but now, I whether see LSU kick the living dog shit out of ohio state, but i got a gut feeling they wont.

Doubt anyone else is watching, but this Delaware/SIU semi final is freaking great.

Later tonight Grand Valley State and NWMizzou St play in the semi-finals of D2 ... that will also be a hell of a match up.

That was a hell of a game. It was as good as any 1-A game this year. Delaware has now knocked off the #1 and #4 ranked teams in the playoffs. All they have to do to win the National Title is beat the two time defending champions. but you know, playoffs don't make good TV ...........

now to sit back and watch GVS and NWMST in D2.

[OGpistolpete]

1AA is really fun to watch. It's a lot more action paced, and any team can come back and win at any time.

BTW, someone tell Tim Tebow to stop and take a breathe when he talks. It seems like he just goes on and on and on and on and on.

wow, there was some great playoff football yesterday. The Delaware/SIU game was great and it sets up a hell of a national title game for 1-AA.

In Division 3, Mary Hardin Baylor damn near got to the title game again, but we'll be seeing UW Whitewater and Mount Union for the third year in a row.

D2 has finally seen GVS go down. NWMST finally breaks through the barrier (and GV's 40 game win streak) and they'll play always good Valdosta St.

I can't wait for next weekend so I can watch THREE TRUE national title games.

I can't see why people are picking Memphis to win there bowl game. They lost to two Sunbelt teams and they are playing a Sunbelt team that beat both of those Sunbelt teams.

[HailtotheYo]

Schnelly and the FAU Owls are a pretty well kept secret in college football. That's why. EVERYONE figured that Troy would roll the conference, but FAU beat them in the last game of the year for the conference title. People just aren't aware that Schnelly has had the Owls on a steady incline for like 5 years now. They play pretty good ball down there.

People are merely looking at the fact that Memphis finished the season with the same record but did it in a 'better' conference. They played better opponnets than FAU did, and came out even in the W/L columns. Of course, the games between Memphis and Ark St and FAU and Ark St were virtually the same game. 34-31 and 35-31. That barely tells you anything at all. Against MTSU Memphis flat out blew chunks, while FAU played them in the first game of the season and won by two scores. No one really has anything to go on other than .... what they knew BEFORE this year. That's why Memphis is the popular pick.

For the record, I have FAU in my bowl mania picks.

(just to note, of FAU's five losses, THREE were to ranked teams, and one to OK St)

[DMN in the House]

I can't remember if I picked FAU over Memphis, but, honestly, no one expected Memphis to make a bowl game anyway, so its win-win. I still can't believe FAU beat Troy though, Troy is awesome, and my favorite Sun Belt team. Too bad they run the shitty spread option

I'm all about FAU, a bit of bias though I'll be honest. They have only had a football program since 2001, it's awesome to see that they've built it up this much so quickly.

Of course now I'll go back and look at my picks and see that I bolded Memphis of course. Don't know what I was thinking if that happens to be the case.

Edit - Haha, and I actually did pick Memphis.

Bobby Petrino resigns from the Falcons and has just been named head coach at Arkansas and his press conference was a fucking circus.

[HailtotheYo]

This guy lies worse and more than Saban. Yeah, he's a good coach, but he's already looking for his next job.

[NobBe Nobbs]

HAW-HAW.

LOL... you talk shit about Da U, but say that FIU and FAU are playing good football? I like Schnellenberger as much as anyone, the man can build a program, but Miami, for as lackluster as they were this year and the last few years by their standards, would wipe the floor with either of those two programs.

[CQI13]

Wasn't really talking shit about them, just a fact. They're not as talented as they've been. And this last year was lackluster by the standards of any big program. Couldn't find the score for the game 2 years ago, but this year it was 23-9...hardly wiping the floor with them. And FIU was competitive against some of the better schools they played. No one is saying (I'm certainly not) that they'll be winning national championships, doesn't mean they aren't playing well.

[DMN in the House]

Miami dosen't have a good QB. Thats their biggest problem. The talent on defense is still there, but Kyle Wright and Kirby Freeman are not good QBs.

[CQI13]

I concur. But I think there's also a lack of playmakers at the skill positions. I thought it was hilarious how everyone down here was talking about how talented they were when they beat FSU I believe, but when they lost to Virginia and Virginia Tech, the excuse on all the talk shows was that they lacked talent. How convenient.

[HailtotheYo]

Congrats too App State ! One hell of a year. You start by beating Michigan in the Big House, and end by winning your third straight National Title. Very impressive and definative win over Delaware.

Now I get to watch d-2 and d-3 today. Should be two really good games.
