Biased College Football Previewing

This is gonna be a big season in South Bend.

Miami....technically a school.....can be described more accurately as school on Sunday......no class. Zing!

Same goes for Oklahoma.

The Big12 is a joke. They play more Division 1AA schools (think late great Fairfield) than any other BCS conference.

It sounds weird to say this with a straight face but Pitt, West Virginia, and Louisville are the best football teams in the Big East and they actually are good football teams.

The SEC is ridiculous- Florda, LSU, Auburn, USC (South Carolina), Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia.

Charlie Weis could win a national championship before Urban Meyer, who turned down the job in South Bend to take the helm in The Swamp. This year, in addition to the other SEC teams noted above, Florida also faces Miami (ACC) and Florida State (ACC).

For the first time in recent history Notre Dame's schedule will be easier than some of their counterparts, namely the elite teams of the SEC. Also taking into account that most of Miami's roster will be in jail or working on getting there, that Oklahoma is without a quarterback (it's going to be all on Adrien Peterson again), and USC (La La Land) is without Bush, Dwayne Jarrett, and Leinhart, I am seeing Ohio State playing Notre Dame for the national championship in an enticing rematch of the Fiesta (?) last year. This is an admittedly biased prediction, however rational.

Please note, Notre Dame's schedule is far from easy. They start off with Georgia Tech, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State (consecutively) and finish up AT USC (La La Land). BUT they also play all 3 service academies and Stanford. Meanwhile, Ohio State has to make it through a notoriously difficult to predict Big10 schedule, their only noteworthy non-conference opponent being a Young-less, Huff-less Texas. They will not be tripped up by Texas though because Mack Brown is not a good coach. He won last year with OVERWHELMING talent. Most of Texas' teams have underachieved during Brown's tenure.

Go Rutgers!
