Who is ready for college football?
I cannot wait. I even have a countdown going on it.

Who is your team? How do you think they will do this year?
I am a Sooners fan. I think they will do okay this year but, we lost a lot of offensive firepower this year and and although I will miss Bob Stoops, I have been ready for his brother to go as DC for a while now. Maybe now that LIncoln Riley is running the show he will find someone better to fill the slot next year. The Red River Rivalry should be good this year with both teams having a new coach. Bedlam should rock this year too.
Over the next few years the other four conferences are going to learn to fear the Big 12 with new coaches like Lincoln Riley, Tom Herman and Matt Rhule at the helm of Oklahoma, Texas and Baylor, respectively as well as Gary Patterson at TCU.

College football is always exciting.
If Illinois doesn't make a bowl game this year, Lovie Smith will be gone and his head coaching career probably over. Tough facts to face for someone who has won 10 or more games as an NFL head coach in 4 different seasons.
I think he has a longer leash than that. That program was at absolute rock bottom and he's just starting to get his kids in there.
I agree about the Illinois head coach. As a Nebraska fan, we love it 😍 when Nebraska gets to travel to Illinois, Northwestern, and Purdue. Those are often like home games S so many Nebraska fans make the trip and often outnumber or equal the real home teams fans. Looking forward to a similar result when we finally get to visit Indiana. There's rumors that there's going to be a lot of red in Autzen stadium in Eugene Oregon next month. Anyone remember around 2000-2001, when Notre Dame stadium was a sea of red?
Teams: LSU, TCU, TAMU and anyone playing against Alabama, Oklahoma or Notre Dame.
I really enjoy watcing the MAC. I just like watching college footbaball. Much more fun than the NFL.
Gamecocks. I will be disappointed again...
Go Big Red! The Nebraska Cornhuskers are my favorite college team in football, women's volleyball, and all college sports. I'm glad 😁 that Nebraska left the Big XII and joined the B1G. A great 👍 move. I loved the old respect based rivalry with Oklahoma and am glad we will play them and Colorado 4x each by 2031 including the 50th anniversary of the greatest college football 🏈 game of all time in 1971. Texas ruined the old conference.
I miss the OKlahoma Nebraska rivaly. I loved to see the games. It is different than the Red River Rivalry, I actually liked Nebraska whereas I despised Texas.
That OU vs. NU respect was two way. It was the best rivalry in sports before the BXII ruined it.
I am a Sooners fan.
In the voice of Borat..."High Five."
Grew up a Sooner and graduated from O-State. People find it hard to believe that I can cheer for both with equal enthusiasm. But, it's true. Get's dicey when they play each other, but that's the struggle. I will say, I pissed several people off in the stands, during bedlam, the year the Sooners won it last. It seems season ticket holders shouldn't cheer for the visiting team. What can I say, I thought they had a legit shot to win it all, and they did.
I'm not buying the hype this year...yet. We'll see after the Ohio State game. As for the Pokes. I've learned that getting too excited about championships early proves devastating. Although, its possible that the two will see each other twice this year. OU will have to beat the dog out of Ohio State for any Big 12 team to have a shot at the play-offs though.
Get's dicey...terrible.
I'm ready to watch some FOOTBALL but sadly my team is not that good. Last season we improved our record but we still have a way to go.
who is your team?
The terps! Fear the Turtle!!!! except on the football field - hahahahaha
Roll Tide!!!!! AL vs FL first game!
Now there's a game where whoever loses will make the rest of the country happy.
It should be a really good game.
No kidding. I really do not like either team but, in this case I am pulling for the Seminoles.
Sooner!
Apparently, my confidence in the Sooners wasn't false. I wasn't too impressed with Penn State's win over Pitt. It'll be interesting to see if the Pokes can dominate Pitt. If they do, I don't know how you could leave Penn State at 4, or wherever they are, and the Pokes at 10 or 11. Rooting for a top 5 by the time bedlam gets here. Although, if the Sooners can win out, I don't see how they are not a playoff team, regardless of what the big 12 does.
Yea, the Pokes are better than most think.
Here's to hoping. I'm not sold on Penn St. being the top dog in the conference yet.
I'm for a Big 12 win anytime. Iowa State's decision to "burn time" off of the clock last week made me puke. How about you keep doing what you have been doing. Would have loved to see them beat Iowa.
Wow there is a lot of mideast and eastern football representation on the board...
With good reason though 'Bama is the team to beat.....
But alas I'm a Northwesterner here so my team is the Huskies.
Didn't do to bad last year, hoping for better this year.
GO DAWGS!
B1G has always been overrated, IMO. Obvious bias there on my part.
Bedlam looks to be, at least at the moment, a don't miss event for Sooner and Pokes fans.
If not for the Big 12 Conference game this year, Bedlam would likely once again be the default Conference Champion game yet again. Either way, it will be one with National and CFP ramifications, I wonder if Gameday will be in Stillwater?
Apparently, we are the only ones that care. I lost a little motivation after the TCU/OSU and Iowa St./OU games, but am back on the wagon after last week.
TCU doesn't have it easy the next 4 games. Say what you want about Iowa State and Texas, but those are not lay downs. (Tell Iowa and USC they suck.) Then they get OU and Tech on the road.
OU has about the same road the next four. Should be fun to watch the next few weeks.
The game to watch will be next week's game at Ohio State.
Obviously a homer view, but I find it funny that the experts lay down in awe of Penn St., after they beat Pitt by 19. When the Pokes beat Pitt by 48, it's because Pitt sucks.
