so... i'm actually looking at schedules for the first time...
boise state's schedule looks "too easy" again
even if they go undefeated i could see them not getting a championship game, again.
poor boise state.
Boise State has a neutral site game (read: Washington DC, so a home game for VT) against Virginia Tech, which is a Top 10 team. It also has a home game against Oregon State, which is one of the best teams in the Pac 10 this year. If they win both those games and run the table, that should be enough to get them into a title game, provided only 1 other school goes undefeated.
always like to see the amateurs play before shit gets real in the pros
friendly, meaningless competition is good before the real thing in the nfl
they gotta fix that playoff system though I mean, jeez

A congressional committee would be nice, but that isn't gonna happen.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
the best football is the kind where you put the totally awesome quarterback on the sidelines.

The Big Ten will announce its much-anticipated, two six-team divisional setup for the 2011-12 season later Wednesday, with traditional football powers Ohio State and Michigan in opposing divisions and new member Nebraska aligned with the Wolverines.
Multiple sources told ESPN.com that the two divisions in the Big Ten will look like:
• Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan State, Northwestern and Minnesota.
• Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana and Illinois.
[...]
According to multiple sources, the Big Ten wanted to preserve a number of traditional rivalries such as Michigan-Michigan State, Iowa-Minnesota, Purdue-Indiana and Indiana-Illinois.
The Big Ten is also expected to announce a consistent crossover game in football similar to Ohio State-Michigan that will be played each year. Expect to see longtime rivals Wisconsin and Minnesota playing every season.
Commence bitching about the chance of a repeat Michigan-OSU game in upcoming years. (In what world is the Purdue-Indiana game more important the Michigan-OSU?!) Whatever. Looks like the Husker's new rival will probably be Iowa by default, which is a bit sad. I kind of liked the idea of a Wisconsin-Nebraska rivalry, or a even a Penn State-Nebraska one. (We could call it the Frequent Flyer Game or something.)

In West Lafayette, Indiana and Bloomington, Indiana.
Around Columbus there is outrage that the last regular season game might not be Michigan, but I have a hard time believing it will lose any of its significance, no matter what day it is played on.
I hope wisconsin - minnesota still happens each year
no way they break up one of the most played rivalries, regardless of how lopsided it has been lately :<

It isn't and the reason you put them in separate division yet have a traditional annual game between them is so they can have a chance to play each other a second time.
That wont happen for a while though because Michigan sucks balls right now.
What the hell was so hard about drawing a line on the Indana-Illinois state border and calling one side "east" and the other "west"? As an ACC fan I can tell you how well planning divisions based on "competitive balance" works out.
I like the Nike Gator jersey. The addition of the gator print is a nice touch.
That prototype thing we wore last year was kind of ugly. This is definitely a step up.
I think Brantley is going to shoot the next guy who asks about Tim Tebow.

Oh god

But yeah, campus was fucking nuts after the PU/OSU game.

Kicked off the team. At least he wasn't the guy from that 2005 headline:
Oregon State player caught drunk with gay sheep

well, munkus will graduate from there twice so I guess he will be the most allowed then.

I happen to reside in one of those places.
It is the former.
BTFU!
