Figured I would create a new thread for college football this year instead of us continuing to use one that was titled for one specific weekend 2-3 years ago.
Anyway what are people's big thoughts, concerns, expectations for this season?
I'm excited about the hype surrounding Auburn this year. I think the defense is finally back to what I grew to love in the early 2000's and are a legit sec contender if not more. The big question is Stidham who I think is a stud but has to prove it in the SEC and even more prove he can stay healthy. If he can I think my Tigers can stop under achieving at 7-8 wins.
As for the big game coming up in two weeks. I think Florida st is massively overrated and only put in the top 5 to hype up tv ratings for the game. Their defense was atrocious last year and I see no reason to believe they will be improved enough to be ready to contend with a national title favorite right out of the gate. I hope it's a great game and I'll be pulling for them. But I fear it will be a similar massacre to what Louisville did to them last year or what Alabama did to USC in the opener.
Also not sure how Texas starts the year in the top 20 after a 5-7 season followed by what espn called their worst recruiting class ranking since they began tracking that info. Makes no sense.
Also Florida and Michigan is a hidden underrated potential best game of the opening weekend. We will see if the Gators can survive the 7 players suspended.
Anything major I missed please post here.
Only 8 days till opening day.
