Well , that looks a bit optimistic for USC , Fla St , LSU , FL and Tenn . If I recall , about those exact same teams started out last year over ranked as well .

[oyarde]

Other teams receiving votes were Iowa , Nebraska , Temple , Pitt , Kansas St , Georgia Tech , Western Ky , Air Force , Boise St , Minnesota , Tulsa , BYU , Wake Forest , Navy , Houston , North Carolina , Washington St , Troy , Georgia and Arkansas .

[oyarde]

Now that Danke is down and out in asia I should probably funnel some of his funds to my Alma Mater to see if it can help the football and mens basketball programs .

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Michigan versus Florida, first week. Playing in Texas.

Sat. Sept 2, 3:30 on ABC.

Could be a good one.

[oyarde]

It is the season of opportunity for the Hoosiers . Nine returning starters on defense including FBS leader in tackles for loss ( Scales , LB ) , most career passes defended by FBS active player ( Fant , CB ) . Returning QB ( Lagow ) , returning 3 of five offensive line starters. Chance to reach three consecutive bowl games which would equal the school record , chance to sweep Purdue & Michigan State in consecutive seasons which has not been done prior ,retaining the Old Oaken Bucket and the Old Brass Spittoon ,chance to defeat Purdue five consecutive times to break a record that has stood since 1947 . Returning top receiver from '15 and returning top receiver from '16 , an offense averaging 31 1/2 points a game the previous five seasons . Time will tell in a very tough schedule, in the first 9 games they play every team that has won or shared a Big 10 Title since 2005 , four are currently in the top 10. Probably the only glaring weakness is qb depth as fifth year Senior Diamont , backup QB who was proven as a capable pinch starter chose not to play this year and concentrate on other things as he is too small to play football at any other level .

We are hopeful for our Commodores.

Rumor is Florida is about to suspend more than a half dozen players .

Rumor is Florida is about to suspend more than a half dozen players .

Seven suspended for using preloaded cards at bookstore, buying stuff and selling for cash. Apparently it was meant for books and supplies. I don't get it bc that's the perfect education for the eventual scamming of the SNAP system.

Hard to believe that is even against the rules . What else is an 18 yr old kid going to do with a pre paid visa ? Beer money is beer money it does not grow on trees .

[oyarde]

I kind of think we could have beaten Iowa and Minnesota this season but they are not on our schedule .

[oyarde]

Looks like UMASS still has the same problem , Defense . Up 28 - 14 in the third they lose to Hawaii 38 - 35 .

[oyarde]

Ohio State / IU Thurs. @ 8:00 pm.

[oyarde]

I think App State has Georgia . Ought to be good .

[oyarde]

Looks like there are now 10 Florida players suspended for Michigan game . Baylor two starters suspended for opener.

[oyarde]

Hoosiers leading 7 - 3 over Ohio State . Both teams have had the ball once and made long drives . Hoosiers 11 plays , 87 yard drive .

[oyarde]

Defenses seem to be settling in , both teams just one first down each past two drives . Iu about to get the ball back on a punt 16 :45 about to Half .

[oyarde]

OK State looking good today .

[oyarde]

Buckeyes stay in the game early . IU QB Lagow from the Ohio St 14 leading 7 - 3 throws a pick at the goal line returned for 40 yards , OSU gets 35 yard run , kicks FG down 6 - 7 . Ten minutes to Half . Hoosiers take kickoff and drive for touchdown , up 14 -6 with 8 minutes to Half , ten plays , 80 yards , two minutes . This game could have easily been 21 - 3.

[oyarde]

21 minutes to play , Hoosiers 21 Buckeyes 20 .

[oyarde]

Well that went to hell in a hurry , gave up two long touchdown passes last 6 minutes of the Third and turned it over twice in the Fourth . Once on our own 11 and once driving for a touchdown at the OSU 13 .

[oyarde]

Looks like Rutgers and Kent St are in for a couple rough openers .

[oyarde]

So , Florida will have a new QB and be without #1 RB and # 1 WR .

[oyarde]

I am expecting big wins today for Maryland & Penn ST.

[oyarde]

The upcoming West Va / Va Tech game should be good .

[oyarde]

Who was the best college football team in Texas this week ? Maryland , LOL .

[oyarde]

Looks like Florida offense will account for three points today .

[oyarde]

Stony Brook playing tough today .

[oyarde]

Solid first half for Georgia .

[oyarde]

Western Michigan has the ball , down by 7 to USC , eight minutes to play . Go Broncos .
