lichtie23 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The Clemson Tigers enter the new season as defending national champions as the next crop of NFL talent get to show off their talents on the main stage. The new season kicks off on Saturday the 26th of August with 5 games including a match-up of Stanford and Rice in Sydney, Australia. The opening weekend has been christened "Week Zero". The other 119 FBS teams start their campaigns the following week with games that include the Florida Gators vs Michigan State Spartans, North Carolina State Wolfpack vs South Carolina Gamecocks, Tennessee Volunteers vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and a blockbuster between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Florida State Seminoles. The UAB Blazers make a return after a 2 year absence while the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are in their 2nd year of a transition period. Players to keep an eye on include Josh Rosen (QB, UCLA), Sam Darnold (QB, USC), Josh Allen (QB, Wyoming), Derwin James (S, Florida State), Saquon Barkley (RB, Penn State), Arden Key (LB, LSU) and Lamar Jackson (QB, Louisville) who is the defending Heisman Trophy winner. The Pre-Season polls will be released on the 21st of August with the Alabama Crimson Tide expected to be named the number 1 team in the nation. Lets all enjoy passion, unpredictability and overall madness of College Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewbo Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Ahhh Im so excited for some college football this season!!! Think this season I'm gonna be following OK State. Mason Rudolph and James Washington were some of my favourite players last season, I think going forward I'll be supporting whatever team has my favourite players each season. It's tough for me to properly be a 'fan' so this is my best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Be following Louisville and Lamar but after backing Clemson from the very start last year instead of Alabama I've really got a soft spot for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysart Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Love college football, prefer it to the NFL actually. Don't support any particular team but do like to root for the traditional underdogs such as Duke, Vanderbilt, Temple, Northwestern etc (went to see Northwestern play Air Force a few years back when on holiday in Chicago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Surprised to see Michigan rated so low (11th).Looking forward to the U knocking FSU right down to a 1-2 start in Week 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Day off work tomorrow so I'm planning on staying up for Ohio v Indiana tonight. I always say I'm going to watch a lot of NCAA football at the start of the season and I always end up missing way more games than I watch. Nominally a Tigers fan for no other reason than I have a friend who's a Bama fan. Also helps that I'm also a Saints fan, despite them now sucking and Brees being at the end of his career. Alabama's opener is a peach of a tie. Definitely staying up for that one on Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Indiana lead 14-13 at the half. Impressive stuff from the Hoosiers against a lethargic Buckeye team. Indiana's receivers are completely dominating Ohio States DB's. The boy Cobbs Jnr has been fantastic against Denzel Ward. The quick tempo has been successful fir the underdogs. JT Barrett struggling for Ohio State and doesn't seem to be in sync with his receivers. Their freshman RB has shown some flashes tho which is a positive. On a side note....there were 100 snaps in the first half [emoji50] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 A comfortable win in the end after scoring 36 2nd half points. The young RB Dobbins impressive with 181 rushing yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
