So much for Nebraska being irrelevant:)

Where's Notre Dame? :D

Go HOGS!

In all honesty, that ranking is way too high, imo. I bet they finish somewhere between 17-23. Not being a hater, just calling it based on how I see it.

Go Canes!

VT is gonna be sick this year.

I am a hater, but in all honesty, my hatred aside, their ranking is too high..

On another note, Oklahoma???? WTF???? they have no business being in the Top 10

i bet they lose to Boise St 9/6.... just sayin

Hopefully VT shuts up the Boise State morons early this year.

NEWCOMER TO WATCH: LB Chase Williams -- For immediate impact, no freshman might match Williams, the son of New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Chase Williams enrolled early and participated in spring drills, showing the smarts and physical skills which allowed him to have a great high school career. He'll see the field in a backup role right away, and could start if Lyndell Gibson is ineffective or gets injured.

Iowa ranked too high, makes me nervous...
TCU should be fun to watch this year...
Didn't Oregon lose their QB?.....
Boise returns 21 of 22 starters, hope VT beats them early so we don't have to hear talk of their weak-ass conference and gay blue field...

Come on college football we are ready for you!!

They got Weissed.

No offense to Nebraska or their fans, but they suck balls.

Masoli was taken in at Ole Miss.
