11. UCSB Gauchos. Oh wait they don't have a football team. Now some may think it sad to go to a school without a football. I just prefer to think that we had other things to evaluate about.

First. I believe that to win a national championship a team must be very very good and very very lucky. A key injury or a bad call can and does change everything. Going into the season. I see all of the following teams as highly likely to emerge as the BCS Champions. 1. The winner of the Ohio express - USC game on Sept. 13.2. Oklahoma3. The SEC Champions. Based on scheduling and talent. I pick Florida as the most likely team to win the SEC. It's been my observation that young teams that make it to a BCS roll the previous year usually have a good shot to make it to the championship game the following year. The SEC is the toughest conference but the SEC champion is likely to have at least two losses which will likely keep them out of the big game. My prediction is that Oklahoma will play Ohio State in the big game. Either Bob Stoops or Jim Tressel will get the BCS monkey off his back this year. Given that Ohio express has made it to the past two championship games. I predict they will win the BCS championship in '08. That's my prediction but I wouldn't bet a dime on it for the same reason that I don't buy individual stocks. Geaux Tigers! Michael_________________Invest your time actively and your money passively.
beat team ordain be in the SEC. So. I equate whoever comes out of the SEC will win the mythical championship game. Probably either Georgia or Florida (although I think people are discreditng LSU and Auburn too quickly...)I'm hearing good things about Mizzou and Southern Cal as well. I sure hope we don't have to see Ohio State smoked for the third year in a row. Enough is enough with this joke of a college football championship game. Get a tournament and weed out the imposters!
I concur. Simply the beat._________________Woof"By singing in harmony from the same page of the same investing hymnal the Diehards drown out market noise." --Jason Zweig quoted in The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing
SEC champion vs the OSU buck-ears.. i'm biased being a tide fan but lsu lacks a quarterback and auburn is full of holes breaking in two new coordinators new offense new qb etc so i think it will come down to florida or georgia._________________Current Diehard/Boglehead Portfolio:VTSMX/VGTSX/VGSIX/VBIIX/VISVX
i think stafford is the mystery man - will he be consistent enough to get things done?and will any gator have an intact ACL by the third game?

In my opinion (and we know what that is worth). GA is the likely the best team in the country but for certain they have the toughest schedule. It's gonna act a whole lot of luck for them to get thru the year undefeated or even with one loss. I think it's a toss-up whether it's GA or the Gators from the SEC and can't even rule out TN. So my vote is for the SEC champ to play Ohio State for the championship and I accept that this is probably the Buckeyes year. Looking forward to college football even more than usual - a welcome distraction from the stock market.

I'll tell you what. Bama sure as hell looked a lot better than the #24 team in the country. However. Clemson is always so overrated. So much for that "Thunder and Lightning" combination of Spiller and Davis huh? They combined for 8 carries totaling 20 yards
Bob Stoops won a National Championship at Oklahoma in his second year as coach of the Sooners and who knows maybe the stars will align for Alabama..._________________SPY 10%. DODGX 10%. VO 7.50%.

Uh... I'd tap the breaks there turbo. A National Championship team doesn't give up 451 yards passing to Juice Williams or 42 points to Illinois. Missouri might be able to score but it doesn't be that their defense is any better than last year._________________SPY 10%. DODGX 10%. VO 7.50%. IJS 15%. DODFX 20%. DLS 10%. VWO 7.50%. XLF 15%.

Not only did they look great but they avoided injuries and sent a message to Ohio express. It might be SC's year

Hi woof,USC looked so crisp and strong yesterday that I think only two teams can beat USC; Ohio State and USC. If Wells doesn't play. I think SC wins by 10 or so. If Wells plays it's going to be a very close game that may very well come down to the last possession. If USC gets by Ohio State they only way they are going to lose is if they beat themselves. However the same is true for Ohio State. If Ohio State wins no one is going to beat Ohio State but Ohio State. If I'm a Georgia fan. I'm a little uneasy about how strong Alabama. Florida and LSU looked. The team that wins the SEC may very well be the best team in the country but I don't believe an SEC team will play for all the marbles this season. Life must be good if my biggest worry is the Oklahoma Sooners football team huh?

No question Tenn-Chatt was not a quality opponent but OU did to them what they were supposed to do. I think Missouri is an excellent team but they didn't look great yesterday other than their offense. Wouldn't that be something special if OU and Mizzou were both undefeated and played each other in the Big 12 Championship Game with the winner going to the National Championship Game?!?!

I suggest we try and not read too much into the first week's games. Teams improve most between their first and second games. Last night. Alabama beat Clemson like a drum. My guess is that when the season is history we will find that Alabama isn't as a good and Clemson isn't as bad as they appeared to be last night. First games and bowl games are the most unpredictable and the least meaningful indicators of a team's ability. Best wishes,Michael_________________Invest your time actively and your money passively.
