Welcome to the college football thread for the 2017-2018 season! If you're unfamiliar, college football is one of America's most popular, and perhaps, most ridiculous sports.
In that vein, let's first give a hearty "welcome back!" to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers!
And now, once again it's time for some awkwardly-sized photos of teams that I've heard will be good this year!
JT BARRET, now in his 111th year of eligibility!
The WASHINGTON HUSKIES! (And yes, that pup's name is DUBS.)
Is that a non-contact a or hot new green alternate jersey for FLORIDA STATE? You decide!
EIGHT-BALL THE TIGER wasn't seen for 3 weeks after CLEMSON won the national title last season, but after authorities found him a tub filled with ice in San Pedro Sula he's back and he's clean (TOTALLY FOR REAL THIS TIME YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!)

He was only the runner-up last year, but don't feel bad for this man, he's won four of he last eight national titles at the helm of the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE.
Okay, that's done. So now, I have an assignment for you, first page of this thread. Which September game will turn out to be this year's version of Michigan State vs. Notre Dame?
These teams went on to go 3-9 and 4-8!
Outside of that, yes, the pick 'em will return! I'll make a formal post about that as we get closer to the season.

So far this offseason one of my satire articles made Stanford fans mad enough online that they actually wrote a response article, so that was nice.

You know, Stanford has this reputation as being a smart school, but the writer spent the entire time yelling "SCOREBOARD." The lack of creativity pretty-much gave away that he wasn't a member of the Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band aka the only good thing at Stanford.

Not to defend Stanford, per se, but boy howdy smart schools aren't necessarily guaranteed to churn out good writers. I read From the Rumble Seat, and admire them for trying, but it's pretty much by default because there's not exactly a burgeoning Georgia Tech football blogosphere out there. Of course, our excuse would be that we don't have liberal arts degrees, so I don't know what Stanford's is.
By the way, if any of you UCLA types are going to make the trek up here to the Bay Area for the Stanford game, let me know. I think we could put something together.
And then probably have more people dismissed for being complete pieces of shit.
When does basketball start?
(we're gonna finish second. We're not finishing behind Penn State)
Also, I saw this story the other day

I love college football, y'all.
He was apparently brought down by Houston Nutt.
This is delicious.
Likewise and Go Noles.
It's the most Mississippi news that anything about their program has ever been.
If you don't believe me, then you may want to check out SB Nation's retrospective of the 2007 college football season.
It's also the subject of this week's shutdown fullcast
No pick-'em for this Week 0 thing, but expect the full slate to be up for next weekend.
And let's see if I can get the new custom pick 'em web app thing I've been working on to work by then!

It's also the season FSU and Alabama last played each other.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL BACK

Oregon State just scored a TD, but the refs ruled it incomplete and refused to overturn

and jeez, Oregon State what are you doing
a P5 team should never be almost doubled up by a G5 team, even on the road
It's Oregon State.
They are a P5 team only by the letter of the law.
They have Gary Andersen as their coach! He's supposed to be pretty good!
Mike Riley left absolutely 0 talent when he bolted for Nebraska. It's a complete rebuild job.
Also Colorado State is also probably pretty good this year.
