Outside of USC, the only thing standing between OSU and a title game appearance is their game at Happy Valley. If they get by USC and PSU, I can't see them losing another game.
I still say Florida is the favorite. I don't know how they can't be considered the team to beat, actually. As sick as that makes me.
Definitely second this one. Even though I have been a fan of UC football since before they started gaining ground on the bigger teams, It was hard to be a die hard fan until Kelly got here. He's the kind of coach you trust can make any team good. He's the best salesman in the game and if he stays here, he can do some special things in Cincinnati.
As big of a fan as I am, I know UC isn't quite on the same playing field of OSU, Florida, etc. yet. That doesn't mean they can't compete, but they just don't have the depth and recruiting ability that these teams have because they have not been a good team for a very long time. If things continue like they are now, that will change. Either way, they are a lot of fun to watch, and will compete in every game they play. I don't think Bearcats fans will be surprized to see them repeat last year, but outsiders would be.
This should shake out to be one of the most exciting College Football seasons in quite some time. Headliners Tebow, Bradford and McCoy are solid stars that will be exciting to follow..... and a strong field talented teams like USC, Oregon, Alabama, OSU, and many others will mean every week will have plenty of blockbuster matchups.
The September 3rd game between Oregon/ Boise State will be a barnburner to get things rockin.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Alright, I'm officially rooting for UC. Go Cats! (Now I have to learn the intricacies of the college game vs. NFL, besides the weird overtime system.)
NFL: 15 minute overtime, first one to score wins.
NCAA: Think football's version of extra innings. Each half-inning consists of a team taking possession of the ball on the opposing 25 yard line. After double-OT, teams must go for 2 after scoring a touchdown.
BTW, good choice with UC.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
I am excited for the Miami RedHawks opener against UK at PBS this saturday. Hopefully, I can stay excited for more than a quarter.

Boise State taking it to Oregon right now.
13-0 at half.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Hope Boise St. keeps it up.I have no love for any PAC 10 team.
Boise should have won by about 5 TDs. Only Boise's self-inflicted mistakes kept it from being so.
Both Boise and Oregon looked like garbage tonight. Actually, not 1 of the 4 teams on ESPN looked any good.
The Oregon player who punched the BSU player after the game deserves a hefty suspension, regardless of what might have been said to him.
Blount had made statements in the media about Boise needing an "a** whipping" after their qb got cheap-shotted last year. I guess since he couldn't make that happen on the field... But yes, Oregon looked terribly overrated.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
If you're going to run your mouth on the field after the game like that, then you better be ready for the consequences. You can't complain about getting punched after getting in a guy's face and taunting him after you've already won the game.
I mean, the BSU player came up to him, hit him on the shoulder, starts talking crap, and ESPN makes it look like the Oregon player is the only one in the wrong. bullcrap, that BSU player deserved to get punched and that Oregon player deserves a suspension.

Try that one on the police next time you assault someone for talking smack. See how far that argument gets you.
