Unfortunetly, not too many people in here like CFB, as NFL rules this forum. Every week, i make a games of the week thread...only a handful of people ever have any input.

Georgia should nto be pre-ranked in the top 5 simply becuase they are still wet behind the ears and have one of the tougher schedules in the SEC. Even if they lose 2 games to SEC rivals, they could still end up in the top 5 at the end of the season.

Believe it or not, Colorado is a team on the rise. back-to-back solid recruiting classes and close games last year with many Big 12 rivals has risen their stock. Now, can they actually go out there and prove it?

NO


haha

They have a very very very tough schedule this year. in fact if anyone is on thier way to Vegas take the under for CU's in total. Last I heard I think it was right about 7. Now look at this schedule and tell me where they win 7 or more games?

They could easily finish with only 2-4 wins......take the under 7 and run with the money.

they should be CSU
they should beat Eastern Washington
I think they lose to West Virgina
I think they lose to FSU
I think they lose to Texas
I think they lose to Kansas
They "could" beat KSU
I think they lose to Missouri
They "could" beat Texas a&m
They "could" beat ISU
They "could" beat Oklahoma State
I think they lose to Nebraska

So you have 2 should win games
they have 4 could win games
they have 6 will lose games

Now I know things can change but I see 6 games winable..of course they will probably lose a couple could win games and may win a couple should lose games still evens out to 6.

they are NOT top 25 team this year

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

NO


haha

I never use Vegas to measure my predictions...bad way to set your standards.

THey should have won 0 games last year, and look what they did and ALMOST did.

they should be CSU

No, CSU is the laughing stock of the MWC, the Buffs will slaughter them.

they should beat Eastern Washington

Unfrotuently for EW, they are not App St. Buffs win by 4 TD's.

I think they lose to West Virgina

They will lose to WVU, no question.

I think they lose to FSU

FSU has had no identity the last 4 years, and have had back-to-back 706 years. Colorado could take this.

I think they lose to Texas

The over bloated Longhorns could get a run for their money against this Buff team.

I think they lose to Kansas

Agrred.

They "could" beat KSU

This will be a close game. It could very well go either way.

I think they lose to Missouri

Mizzou will end up in the top 10 this year, no question Colorado loses this one.

They "could" beat Texas a&m

Same as KSU, this will be a tough fought game....could go either way.

They "could" beat ISU

COuld? ISU is no better than CSU...Colorado kicks their face in.

They "could" beat Oklahoma State

OKST is a bubble team themselves, but I feel that Colorado will take this.

I think they lose to Nebraska

Nebraska aint doin shit AGAIN this year..Colorado wins. However, it wont be another shootout like last year.

they are NOT top 25 team this year

In your opinion, obviously. However, they are a better team this year, and those loses they had last year will be closer games and possible wins.

Athlon had them ranked at 31 in their CFB preview issue. Hawkins had interception problems last year, but threw for over 3,000 yds as a RS Frosh. They have one of the more exciting freshman backs in the nation in Scott. They have a slew of WR, Smith and McKnight lead the pack. Their defensive strength is in their secondary and up front, but LB might be a concern.

The Big 12 will be very top heavy again this year, but Texas will again CHOKE like they always do, Tech will have to live up to their preseason hype, Oklahoma has to top last year, A&M has try and pick up their pride and Mizzou and Kansas are still one-year wonders to most, including me. This is a great year for Colorado to show and prove and to be battled tested.

 

[davidsaoc]

Well I think USC will win it all if M. Sanchez can handle the job. I'm also interested to see how Illinois will play this year with no R. Mendenhall.

 

[Supa SAV'D OUTT]

lets go SC, Ohio St. Vs SC will be the national championship

 

[synical dj]

BIG 12 = TREACHEROUS this year... colorado cant cope..

gotta keep an eye on texas tech.. fuck the longhorns. we will own them again.
kansas got somthin to prove.. nebraska think they do.

cant wait for the season to start. OU will be number one before the leaves turn gold.

 

[Ethereal]

It's not that people don't follow CFB, but you're lumping the sport into one thread. Go Fresno State!

 

[heyzel]

lets go SC, Ohio St. Vs SC will be the national championship

shit I hope not but I do like usc this year and with ohio st easy schedule(sp) anything can happen

 

[Ethereal]

I got Ohio St. winning it all.

 

[UCDgreek]

last thing we need to see is ohio state go through the big 10 and get killed in another bcs championship game.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

You aint NEVER lied!

The champ will once again be either SEC or Pac-10 (USC).

 

[synical dj]

Fresno St selling more tickets than Cal AT Candlestick Park

Thought this was pretty funny..now granted I know it does not reflect what the actual attendance may be, since alot of people will purchase their tickets through other means rather than each schools ticket office, but still haha...Go Dogs! Can't wait for this game...Anybody else gonna go or watch it?

http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_18753509

Cal's neutral-site season opener against Fresno State at Candlestick Park is beginning to look like a Bulldogs home game.

According to the latest figures, Fresno State's ticket office has sold 12,000 tickets whereas Cal has sold only 7,500. It's harder to keep tabs on tickets sold through other outlets such as StubHub, but Bulldogs fans seem to be scooping up tickets at a much brisker rate than Cal enthusiasts.

"In general, I think everyone is having a little more of a challenge selling tickets than we had hoped," Cal associate athletic director Matt Terwilliger said. "We are really hoping that volume picks up. We typically see a surge toward the end."

Cal and Fresno State teamed up with two independent promoters to put on the game. Each school gets a revenue guarantee based on a predetermined allotment of tickets sold. The promoter keeps all the other operating revenue for the event.

To receive its guarantee of $1,050,000, Cal must sell tickets totaling a revenue of $637,500. Terwilliger said the school is still $175,000 short of meeting that goal.

Fresno State's agreement required it to sell 10,000 tickets, which it did easily. That earned the school $900,000 up front.

To meet the revenue requirements, only tickets sold through Cal's athletic ticket office count.

Cal's lagging sales prompted athletic director Sandy Barbour to send a mass email to supporters last week, imploring them not only to buy tickets but also

to make sure they buy them through Cal.

"I am challenging our Cal community to surpass Fresno State for fan support in attendance and tickets sold," Barbour wrote in the email. "I just can't imagine that our community would allow Fresno to come to the Bay Area and outnumber us at Candlestick Park on Sept. 3. I know we won't let that be the case."

Cal coach Jeff Tedford is a former Fresno State quarterback and offensive coordinator. He said Cal fans "have been a large part of our success" and hopes Bulldogs fans won't make up the majority of the crowd.

"When you have a game in your backyard, you would hope that your fans would at least match the support of the other team," Tedford said. "I hope as it gets closer to the game our fans come out and create an environment for us that is at least neutral."

Can't really tell from my work computer's shitty screen but is that black on dark silver or something? If so it looks pretty sick. I always loved the carbon helmets and shit.
