what is the best college football conference?

axl blaze said:
I don't see the ACC being contenders at all in the near future. Miami should be set for a couple years, but I see them getting demolished by OSU for two years straight. sorry, I like Canes Football and I am a fan of Jacory Harris, but if Wisconsin punked you last year I don't see anything too promising.

however, you never know with OSU in their first couple games or bowl games. so you have a shot :)

the ACC as a whole, I just don't see it man. Georgia Tech can run the gamut for the regular season, but once the bowls come around the teams prepare and beat them. I wish Florida State would return to their prominence, but I just don't see it happening. I am a fan of Jimbo Fisher, so I do hope that team well. I just don't see it.

Miami lost to Wisconsin last year due to poor offensive line play. We have a whole new offensive line this year, and while that brings some problems of its own, I still expect Jermaine Johnson, Ben Jones or Seantrel Henderson to play better at Right Tackle than Matt Pipho did last year. Tyler Horn will be a better center, and Orlando Franklin will hold down that left tackle spot as well as Jason Fox did last year. The line all around will be much improved. I don't know that the Canes will win, because the OL is the most important position on the field, but the Canes are better than Ohio State pretty much everywhere else. Never underestimate how much players improve between their sophomore and junior years. One more touchdown against Wisconsin and the Canes would be ranked in the top 10, if not the top five with all of the talent returning in their prime. I expect a 12-2 season this year. I think Miami and Ohio State likely split the series, OSU winning this year and Miami the next.

You seriously don't see Florida State returning? Like, ever? I hate the Seminoles and would love to see them stay mediocre forever, but thinking they will is just retarded.

As for the rest of the ACC, just look at the preseason rankings. A lot of up and coming teams in the conference as a whole. I believe there are typically 5 teams ranked in the top 25. I would rather it not be that way, since the Canes usually play pretty tough out of conference schedules it would suck if teams like North Carolina and Georgia Tech become true national contenders on a schedule where they already play Virginia Tech and Florida State once a year. It would be tough to play in a national championship with a national championship caliber team.
 
because I still think both threads ought be merged into one...

because I am starving for college football to start...

because I found someone posted this in the LOUNGE and figured some of you might appreciate it (though, I'm very offended.... :| )....

UF bows to UGA and tOSU.... :\
 
WHAT? no OSU? that's quite ridiculous, specially when those jobbers Penn State are somehow in the Top 5. I know there ain't much to do in PSU, except for maybe drive three to four more hours to NYC - but dayum.

Ohio University (Athens, OH) is the real deal at partying, but again, it's because there ain't much to do in Southern Ohio but stare at the Appalachian Mountains and drink yourself in a stupor. going right down the Mountains to Athens, GA and I suspect that you will find the same formula (no stimulus = drinking stupor).

I feel like University of Texas, Michigan State, Indiana University, and Wisco should be up higher.

I feel like West Virginia should be lower. I didn't even know they had parties there?

god dammit TLB, you always get me fired up
 
UT has been in the top 3 in the past years

its interesting how Princeton does thier rankings, they have seperate catagories like beer consumption, hardliquor consumption and weed consumption

1) Athens, GA isn't anywhere near the mountains, though if you're really juiced into the town (not in a redneck way, but in a "i'm a humanities grad school drop out and I can't bear to leave this little liberal bubble in the heart of a red state") you can score some white lightnin' with a nice juicy peach bobbing in it.

2) I used to go to interesting gallery shows or small rock clubs there between 3 and 5 nights a week. Now I know its not the self proclaimed "indie arts (lawl) capital of the world", but there's plenty going on.

3) I'd wager that its a party school because we know how to party. A substantial chunk of the student body is from the metro atlanta area, for sure, but the whole place is awash in country boys and girls from the hinterlands where there's nothing to do but hunt, drink, and fuck. They may fucking suck, but the keep our downtown streets littered with giant brass fish hooks, puke, and foul language. <3
