PrintFirst off, this isn't the "What will Bama's record be?" thread...Ill save that for a newbie. I'm going a little grander then that...
Below are my predictions for the entire season. Each conference winner, BCS NC winner, Heisman winner etc. Of course the whole point is for you guys to follow suit and we'll check back at seasons end and see who was the big bad mamma jamma! So here it goes...
Conference Champions:
SEC
West- Bama
East- UF (by default) Seriously..The east is so weak this year MSU would probably come in 2nd.
Winner: Bama and btw our record will be 13-1 overall.
ACC
Atlantic- FSU
Coastal- Va Tech
Winner: FSU (their offense will be lights out this year and the D will be good enough to go 10-2)
Big 10
Iowa (old school running game with a good D will be enough to surpass a not that great Ohio State)
Pac-10
Oregon St.- really..Who else is there? The only other option is Oregon.
Big 12
North- Nebraska- strongest team in a weak division.
South- Oklahoma- loses to a team they shouldn't but beats Texas.
Winner: Nebraska
Big East:
Winner: Really doesn't matter
WAC- Boise duh ( but they lose to Va Tech to open the season)
MAC- TCU double duh ( lose to OSU to open the season)
BCS NC Game: Bama plays Nebraska and wins back to back NC's.
Heisman winner: Ingrams injury early on knocks him out of the running. Christian Ponder wins the Heisman after putting up ridiculous numbers and leading FSU back to its rightful place as ACC Champions.
So there they are. Of course it's just my opinion. If you don't agree, either put up or shut up...
RTR and here's to #14!!!!

I'm not going to
as in depth. But I like
SEC- Bama (13-1)
ACC- Clemson
Big 10- OSU
Big 12- Texas
Pac- Oregon
Big East- Pitt
NCG- Bama vs. Texas- round 2.
As much as I hate Auburn I hate Tenn. that much more.
My prediction... PAIN!

I'm interested to see how Georgia does this year
I’ve begun to hear a little bit of hype about them, even to the point of some people predicting them to win the east. Not that I’d agree with that… I think Florida is still the overwhelming favorite but maybe Georgia can do better than last year.

SEC – Bama
ACC – VT
Big 10 11 12 Whatever – OSU
Big 12 11 10 Whatever – Texas
PAC 10 12 Whatever – Arizona
WAC – Boise St.
MAC – Temple
MWC – TCU
Sun Belt – Troy
C-USA – Southern Miss.
Big East – UConn
Bama/Boise in the BCSNCG. And it will be an absolute shame that Boise will be in, but I don’t see a loss to VT keeping them out.
"There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success" - Coach Bryant
really?
If Boise loses to Va Tech they will drop to probably 7-8. They only decent game left for them is OSU. And thats not going to be big enough to put them back at #2.
Alabama football....The only addiction God wholeheartedly approves of..
If Va Tech has a good year...
as I expect them to (10-2, ACC Champs) and that’s the only loss of the season for Boise St, I expect them to get there sherely out of being “snuffed” in the past. Yes, they will need some help at the top with losses and whatnot, but with the way the top 10 has shuffled throughout the season for the past 5 years or so, I don’t think that this is too much of a stretch to predict.
Even after a loss to VT, Boise will be dining on cupcakes for the rest of the season while everyone else is scratching and clawing their way to the end.
Now, had they not started so high, then no; they’d have to win out to make it. But when you start out in the top 3, it’s not hard to get back with only one loss early in the season.
"There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success" - Coach Bryant
i guess it really
depends on the game itself (which is almost here btw!!) If Boise hangs tough and loses by less than 10 and then Va Tech goes on to win the ACC. Sure, I could see them creeping back into the mix. But they will need a lot of help. Nebraska, Ohio St, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, TCU etc would all have to lose multiple games if Boise wants to play Bama…
Alabama football....The only addiction God wholeheartedly approves of..
I really think there is no way Boise gets in if they lose to VA tech
Maybe… MAYBE if every team in an AQ conference (other than one, I guess, which could be an opponent in the NCG) had 2 losses.

Was it you that I argued this point with in another post?
I guess I’m not going to convince you, but in my mind it’s absurdly clear that BSU absolutely has to be undefeated to get into the NCG. And even as an undefeated, if they weren’t playing VT it would still be a stretch for them. If they lose a game — any game — they have no shot. A 2 loss SEC champion and a 2 loss Big 10 or Big XII champ would easily jump a 1 loss BSU. Even if they didn’t jump them in the polls, a 1 loss BSU would be at best #6 or 7 in the computers.
Yeah
They’ve gone undefeated before without a nod to the championship game. How in the world would they get there after losing one of the only legitimate contests they play this year?

No, that wasn't me before...
my opinion is that their 1 loss can’t just be any loss. It has to be to a ACC Champ Va Tech team. And we also have to treat them like any ole team now that they are in the top 3. As much as I hate to say it, this isn’t the Boise of old that began ranked #15. They are now in the top 3 and have the same opportunities to lose the first game and move back up that anyone has in the top 3.
Honestly, I could care less about Boise and their problems with getting in. I hope they get smacked by VT, but if they do and then climb back up to the top on the strength of cupcakes I wouldn’t be surprised.

Anyway...
SEC – Bama
ACC – Miami
Big 10 – OSU
Pac 10 – who the hell knows? My die roll says Arizona WHOOOO
Big 12 – Texas (I think Nebraska is overhyped – the only challenger I see is Oklahoma)
Big East – who cares? Pitt
WAC – Wyoming! Naw, there’s only one decent team in that conference
MWC – TCU? I feel too uneducated about the MWC. How is Utah looking?

Year of Surprises
SEC- Bama
ACC-VT
Big10-Iowa
Big12-Nebraska
WAC-BoiseSt
BigEast-UConn
MWC-TCU
SEC Champ Bama VS Georgia
Natl ChaMp- Bama DESTORYS Iowa

PAIN!!!!!!! oh wait, already did that thread...
SECW – Bama
SECE – fla
ACC – dont know/care. VT? certainly NOT miami
BE – WVU
big 10 – osu edges out iowa
big12 N – nebraska, Neb is big 12 champ
big 12 S – OU
pac 10 – oregon, arizona will be mediocre, arizona state will aspire to mediocrity…
MWC- Utah
WAC – Boise
national champs, Bama over undefeated Nebraska. Boise is either 12-0 or 11-1. either way, they miss out due to undefeated bama and nebraska…
kellen moore for heisman if boise beats VT. if VT wins, could very will be ryan williams, the dion lewis for Pitt if they do well, or Jake Locker/Andrew Luck if Washington/Stanford does well. it wont be an SEC player, ask charles woodson/peyton manning why…

Boise is either 12-0 or 11-1. either way, they miss out due to undefeated bama and nebraska…
Hmmm…I think if Boise goes 12-0, there is no way they get booted out of the title game. If you think their complaining is bad now…It would be 10000 times worse than the table at HS proms for girls who’s dates didn’t show…
Alabama football....The only addiction God wholeheartedly approves of..
there's no way Boise beats out an undefeated big 12, SEC, Pac 10, or Big 10 champ
no. way. and yeah i’m sure some boise fans will complain in that event, but it’d be a better outcome that cacophony of outrage we’d see if a 12-0 ohio state got snubbed instead (even with their dismal BCSCG record. osu would have the better claim…)
The beauty of The Process is that you have never arrived, so you get to continue being perpetually awesome... -Espyonage
Nebraska and Bama are both in AQ conferences
they would absolutely beat out Boise if all teams were undefeated or had 1 loss.

I predict...
…wayyy to much wine on Friday night, and watching Corso & Co Saturday morning with a hangover.
And that Bama beats everybody on the schedule.

I like where your head's at...
"There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success" - Coach Bryant
either Wisconsin or Iowa wins B10
and Texas beats Nebraska again for B12 championship. Oregon St may well be the best team in the Pac10, but no one goes undefeated in conf play out there, and they’ve got Boise and TCU on the road, so I think Oregon sneaks ahead, but no one will care b/c they won’t be very good either. FSU vs. Miami will decide the ACC.

Texas is the sleeper in the B10 south.
They are pretty much in the same boat as OU. Lost a lot of guys from both sides of the ball and big time contributers to boot..The Big 12 should be a lot of fun to watch this year.
Alabama football....The only addiction God wholeheartedly approves of..
I really don't get the Nebraska love this year.
Last year’s offense (almost all of which returns) was absolutely anemic, and their defense is without last year’s best player in college football. I know the hype is partly because Texas and OU are in rebuilding years, but I’ve seen them crack the top 5 in some places.

Neb as a pick
is just longing for the good old days. Last years Neb. team will be their best under Bo.
As much as I hate Auburn I hate Tenn. that much more.
Ah the good ol' days pick.
Of course, that’s why I have Yale over Penn in a squeaker for the NC.
"Only the strong survive, but the strong still get their ass whipped." -Nick Saban
I'd take Penn
they gave Bama a hard time in 22.

I wish Alabama had been dominant in the early 20's
Just so parents would’ve named their children Xenophon.
"Only the strong survive, but the strong still get their ass whipped." -Nick Saban
Do not...
…take Xenophon if you have ever had measles, chicken pox, or the flu. If you were ever caught cheating in grade school, consult your doctor before taking Xenophon. Women who are pregnant or simply nauseated should not take Xenophon. Do not take Xenophon if you plan to ever become pregnant, as it may turn your baby into a firemonster. In the days around your period, you may develop a leathery tail.

hello
i’m here to talk with you about Xenophon. The FDA has asked us to clarify some of the statements we made in our previous advertisements for Xenophon.
Xenophon is not for women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant, or who may know someone who was at one time pregnant. If you or anyone you know has ever been on plans, or does not plan to become pregnant, then you should not take Xenophon. Men with testicle should not handle Xenophon capsules. If a Xenophone capsule shoudl become broken or otherwise damaged, you shoudl contact your local Department of Homeland Security office or the appropriate Hazardous Materials Removal agency in your area. Xenophon is illegal in Canada, Mexico, Finland, England, France, Belguim, Morocco, Algeria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austrailia, New Zealand, the Kingdom of Fiji, The Mauritanian Islands, Guinnea-Bissau, and Latvia.
Xenophon is the official headache medicine of the the American Gladiators and the now defunct Slamball League of North America.

It was a joke,
because you said that people that leave off the ‘U’ know nothing about college football. And then you left off the ‘U’. See? Or am I being short sighted in missing your joke here??
Yes, I was playing off of some guy who said that thinking someone who leaves the “U” off know nothing about college football is short sighted and insulting. But, as usual, my joke fell flat.
BCS Bowl predictions:
Rose Bowl: Ohio State over Oregon
Fiesta Bowl: TCU over Iowa
Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech over Connecticut
Sugar Bowl: Florida over Texas
BCSNCG: Alabama over Oklahoma

I like ^this one^.
Herbie will be soooooo disappointed.
Unity begins with the understanding that everyone is different and to accept them as such. - Confucius
Excuse me while I whip this out.
This:
ACC
Atlantic- FSU
Coastal- Va Tech
highlights one thing to me, and that is the fact that I have absolutely no idea who is in what division in the ACC. This despite the fact that I (sort of) live in ACC territory (southeast Florida). Obviously I know the SEC’s divisions like the back of my hand, but I have no clue about the ACC’s, and I don’t really care. Someone could post them now and I would look at them and then forget them tomorrow. Congrats on that successful expansion a few years back, ACC!
/takes off hater face
to be honest...
I had to look it up. And i live in Tallahassee… The ACC split is relatively new, so dont feel bad. I even had to look up the Big 12 splits just to make sure.
Alabama football....The only addiction God wholeheartedly approves of..
big 12 divisions in a nutshell
south =’s texas teams + oklahoma and ok state.
north = all the leftover garbage.
The beauty of The Process is that you have never arrived, so you get to continue being perpetually awesome... -Espyonage
South is too inclusive
We can’t let Baylor count

Yep, the Big X(II) is fairly easy.
I’m hoping that the Big 10 finds some geographic way to divide because that makes it much easier to keep track.
The names of the divisions don't exactly help
Both of them seem to imply “east”

i'd give georgia and UK some props.
the rest can go to hell.

I think I'm the only one
going with Clemson in the ACC and our next coach- Dabo Swinney (in 2018).
The lost Spiller, but this is a very solid team.
As much as I hate Auburn I hate Tenn. that much more.
My prediction
is that I will be just as nervous before every single game as I was last year. And I will have one hell of a good time when I come to T-town in October!
Roll Tide!!

Sorry, no numbers or elaborate prognostications here
let week 1 go by and I’ll enlighten you all. I have the DVR linked to my network….I also have this neat third-party program for managing said DVR. This week, I will be able to record all the games I want to see(save Bama, of course) and peruse them at my leisure. Then I’ll better know who/where/when. Otherwise, for the sake of the peanut gallery, here goes:
SEC west: Bama
SEC east : Florida or SC
SEC Champ : Bama
ACC coastal:VT
ACC atlantic: FSU
Big 10 OSU or Iowa
Big 12 Nebraska
Until I see some football played, the rest is an unknown. To be honest, Iowa may be the darkest horse in the land right now. Although they have more team speed issues than any SEC squad.
