Fall is the best time of year. Not only does the weather get better, but there are lots of great holidays (my birthday included)...and FOOTBALL!
The 2010 college football season begins this Thursday and I can't wait! I'm driving up to Oklahoma on Friday and will watch the weekend games at Mom and Dad's house.
A few thoughts for this season:
1. OU. Sam Bradford is long gone and will be missed. But Landry Jones had an outstanding rookie season after stepping in for an injured Sam last year. Let's hope Jones will help lead the Sooners to victory. Player to watch: Ryan Broyles. Set a record last year with 1120 receiving yards.
2. Texas. Colt McCoy is also long gone...and won't be missed by this gal. :) I'm not sure what to think of the new Texas QB. Gilbert needs to boost the running game if Texas wants a shot. What to watch: Mack Brown will play Gilbert under center; strong offensive line.
3. Alabama. Ranked #1 (preseason) after a 14-0 season last year and a championship. Strong team, stout defensive line. But they have a tough schedule this year. Game to watch: Alabama v. Florida on 10/2.
4. Speaking of Florida...thank GOD Tebow is out of the picture. We'll see how the Gators do this season without him. Brantley might put up some good numbers.
5. Nebraska?! Actually breaking the preseason top 10?!
6. Ohio State. Playing 2 quarterbacks for their first game. Given the team's last few seasons and the talented roster his season, I predict the Buckeyes may be the team to beat.
7. Texas A&M. If the Aggies can just keep the other team from scoring, I think they have a shot at making their presence known in the top 10. Player to watch: Jerrod Johnson.
8. USC. New president, new athletic director, and a two-year bowl ban. Even if they are good this year, they can't go to the Rose Bowl. (tee-hee)
9. LSU. Critical season for coach Les Miles. The last two seasons have been crappy, especially following a 2007 national championship.
10. Heisman prediction: Terrell Pryor, Ohio State

I had to google what BCS meant. :-)
