I dunno. If Michigan can beat Notre Dame this week, then I think they will roll through the Big 10 with the only real challenged being Ohio State and maybe Northwestern. What better storyline could there be than "The Resurrection of Michigan Football" especially coming back from the thrashing Alabama gave them in Week 1?

I still think Florida State and Notre Dame are overhyped and will drop a couple games each. The SEC East will probably end up being a clusterfuck. The SEC West (and more than likely the SEC Championship) looks like it will be decided in Baton Rouge on November 3rd. I don't think a repeat of last year's LSU/Bama II match-up is even a possibility this year because of the ensuing shitstorm. LSU hasn't played anybody yet and won't play anybody until they start their muderer's row in October thru November when they have @Florida, vs S Car, @ Texas A&M, vs Alabama, and vs Mississippi State. They end with Arkansas, who looks like dogshit, but that game is always a toss up.

Stanford/Oregon will be the marquee game in the Pac 12, but there are always a couple of random upsets in the Pac 12 every year that fuck the whole thing up BCS wise. Oregon hasn't played anybody and it's hard to tell if they are just better than everybody or just really damn good.

Big 12 wise, it looks like it will come down to Kansas State, West Virginia, Texas, and OU. I think KSU is too one-dimensional and Texas hasn't looked like they are still a year away from being back to being "TEXAS". OU likes to look like shit against average teams and Texas isn't going to get beat like a rented mule this year again. West Virginia looks legit and they can fucking score some points. OU goes to WVU so WVU will have a slight edge going into that game. TCU could sneak into the mix of things, but their last 4 games of the season are @WVU, vs KSU, @ Texas, and vs OU. Hell of a stretch for a team to go through unscathed. OU also plays Notre Dame in Norman on Oct. 27 (tickets are projected to be insanely expensive once it gets closer) and that will be an electric game that both teams will be up for and Notre Dame will be looking to get its biggest win in ages that night. If the Sooners can't establish a running game and play better run defense, the National Title hopes might die against Kansas State on Saturday.

Kind of boring this year because there no non-BCS schools that have a shot this year. A lot of big time football games though with all sorts of names teasing potential runs at Conference Championships and BCS Bowls.
