| Title Predictions: Someone�s coming out of the woodwork to win it all. No teams that begin with �O.� But forget about looking at favorable schedules, etc. Well, don�t forget about it, but every time I use such things to try and pick a championship winner before the season begins, it never works. So, let�s just say�..Texas? No, I hate them. Maryland? Notre Dame? Pitt? That won�t work, because if I pick a team I really like to win it all, they�ll lose in the first few weeks of the season. Auburn? Too trendy. K-State? Trendy�but not too trendy. They�re in. They�ll defeat NC State for the title. Yes, I know they go to Ohio State, and they�ll probably lose. Don�t care. This is very hard to do. But that�s just one of the major things that make college football the best sport. A few players that make college football great, obvious superstars excluded: Jared Lorenzen, Kentucky QB - (Yes, I�ve called him a fat-ass, but I always meant it in a lovable way, as if I were joking with a friend.) He�s not around the 300 lb. mark anymore, but I still think he�s the cat�s meow. Steve Suter and Derek Abney, Maryland and Kentucky PR/KR/WR � These guys. Little guys who fly, returning kicks for TDs. I love them like I loved Vinny Sutherland at Purdue. Rod Rutherford and Brad Smith, Pittsburgh and Missouri QB � Great athletes at QB, in a position to have a special season for a team in a major conference. How far will their talents take them? I sit and I ponder. And I smile. Chance Harridge, Air Force QB � I�m a sucker for anyone that can run a great option attack. Actually, that�s an understatement. Basically, the option rules and Chance Harridge is currently the king. David Pollock, Georgia DE � Ya ever hear of that time-honored clich�, �this guy�s got a motor,� as if he were some machine. Well the jig is up. DAVID POLLOCK IS A MACHINE. Jowjah! Michael Turner, Northern Illinois RB � �Turner the Burner.� You gotta love that. And you also must love dynamic RBs who rack up huge stats in an underrated conference (the MAC) while thinking, �if this guy was at (Insert large university here), he�d be a superstar.� But sometimes it�s better this way. He is a superstar, even if you don�t know about him. Karlos Dansby, Auburn LB � He�s already a great player, and much like Razor Ramon was oozing machismo, this dude is oozing potential. If this year�s teams were upcoming movies: Ohio State � The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Oklahoma � The Matrix Revolutions Texas � The Last Samurai Miami � The Alamo Auburn � Kill Bill: Volume One Pittsburgh � Big Fish Kansas State � Master and Commander Maryland � The School of Rock Missouri � Bubba Ho-Tep Notre Dame � Stuck On You Arizona State � Shaolin Soccer North Carolina � Marci X Duke � Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star She get it from her momma. |
