It's a big year...

Can Notre Dame survive another year like last year's debacle?

Can Nebraska's new coach and offense carry them to the Big XII Championship game (I think it can, being a Cornhusker fan :-)

Can USC and LSU keep winning?

Will someone other than LSU and KState figure out Oklahoma's offense and clobber them?

Will Texas finally beat Oklahoma?

And one of the first games of the season: Who will survive, Florida State or Miami?

As they say in the commercials: I love this game!

Ah, you lucky dog! I'm an expatriate Jags fan in Virginia. See you at the Lions game in November - I got club level seats through my company's Jax plant. Can't wait!

We just got a new house and only have one satellite connection. Last night my Fox News channel in my Living Room got switched to the Little League Finals for the evening. Hubby dearly loves LL games. The LL World Series is next...so considering that and football coming up I have GOT to call DTV and get another connection for the Family Room TODAY!

Like you, a rabid college football fan here.

For me, the questions are:

1.) Can Clemson keep its momentum from last year against one of the nation's toughest schedules, and

2.) Can Lou Holtz win enough games this year to keep his job? We like playing against his teams.

And when they don't, can they at least keep the point spread below triple digits?

Can USC and LSU keep winning?

I think USC will, but LSU lost too many key players on both sides, and their schedule is brutal. The defense will be just as suffocating as last year, but losing Matt Mauck behind center makes the QB position questionable until a true starter emerges. Plus, their three toughest games(Florida, Georgia, Auburn) are all on the road. I'm figuring 2-3 losses this season, but Saban has turned the Tigers into a national powerhouse.

There's a new Sheriff in town Cowboy fans. The longer Jerry Jones has anything to do with the Cowboys, the more popular the Texans are becoming.
