2025-2026 College Football Thread

[fatediesel]

I just wish college football was like college basketball and had some sort of mandatory scheduling, like the Big Ten-ACC challenge, or if OOC stregth of schedule played a huge part in the BCS formula. I'd even prefer it if every conference went to a 9 game conference schedule.

I'll be more interested if College Football had a playoff format which will probably never happen.

College Baskeball FTW

I'm sick of the newfound love affair with Florida and their schedule is an absolute joke this year. I'm an Oklahoma and Oklahoma State fan. Oklahoma has an absolute brutal schedule this year and I see them losing 2 maybe more. BYU at neutral site, At Miami, Texas at neutral site,At Nebraska, At Kansas, At Texas Tech,. They get Oklahoma State at home but OSU has proven before they can win in Norman. The big question mark is the new offensive line.

Oklahoma State has their best chance ever to make a run. Their schedule is very, very favorable. They have Georgia at home, Texas at home, Texas Tech at home. They have 8 home games, 8!!!

You talk about Florida's schedule being easy and defend Oklahoma State? OK State doesn't have an OOC road game, and plays 1 SEC team, 2 non-BCS teams, and a low-level FBS team. Florida doesn't have an OOC road game, and plays 1 ACC team, 2 non-BCS teams, and a low-level FBS team. I would consider playing Georgia as pretty equivalent to playing Florida State, especially considering it will be the first game for Georgia's new quarterback.

This is USCs year to win national championship!

I'm ready for college football. I'm a Miami fan and this really needs to be the year Randy Shannon has to deliver, there's way too much talent on the team to finish the year 6-6. We have to win at least eight games or I think it's time for his head to roll. I understand how great of a recruiter he is, but there is too much tradition at our program to have consistent mediocre seasons. The U needs to be back to elite status. As for the rest of the teams, I think Florida is going to go undefeated and repeat as champs. They're too talented and have exceptional coaching, I just don't see them losing this year. As much as I hate to say it, it's hard not to like Tim Tebow.

I wasn't defending OK states schedule! I said this was their best chance to make a run BECAUSE of their schedule! They have 8 home games . Only really tough games are Georgia but they got em at home and they are inexperienced, Texas and they have them in stillwater and almost beat em in austin last year, and OU but its in norman.

Lol this is the one thing that I love about cfb nobody gets fired up when their team might be insulted like in cfb, not even in the nfl but cfb man oh man watch out.

OSU also tangled with Texas, and has a home and home with Cal coming up.

OSU's schedule is not avoiding travel or top 15 OOC teams.




BTW, if Florida beats Georgia, I give it 10 to 1 that they get into the National Championship game. LSU and Tennessee might be able to get their act together enough to play...

BUT Charleston Southern will likely score between 3 and 6 points.

That's why nothing compares to college football.

Especially not in the south.

Everything else pales in comparison.

Guess maryland should get some love then because we play cal as well .... I expect more from my top 10 teams.

Maryland has to play a tough OOC schedule because they need to try to break into the top 25 at some point. If they play a soft OOC like Florida's, they cant move up, even with a strong showing in the conference. Beating 2 or 3 good teams OOC could be enough to get an at large BCS, while beating up 4 florida style OOC teams will guarantee you wont get high enough to qualify.



BTW, I went to the Cal MD game last year, and Maryland fans are awesome hosts. I rank the fans in the top ten in the country. Maybe top 5.

Interesting idea...

I know LSU and Oklahoma fans are typically hospitable, too. Florida fans aren't.

[Skywalker]

I have to agree, Florida has the worst fans in the SEC.

Schlabach picks UF v. UT.

Someone named Bruce Feldman picks Florida Atlantic v. UT.... lol

yeah we are great hosts ... Our problem is our coaching staff doesn't match our talent. And the play calling don't get me started... We'd also have to go undefeated like 2 years in a row and with Very lop-sided wins. Otherwise we'd never get a shot at the NC unless all our games were like top25 times.

The link shows Florida vs. UT for both analysts.

It might now. It didn't when I posted it.

According to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer Terrelle Pryor ran a 4.33 second 40 meter dash, which is virtually impossible for a player his size. The paper also reports it as a 40 meter dash, which means his 40 yard dash (the standard used for 40 times) would be under 4 seconds. Of course Florida claims to have had 4 people run sub-4.3 second 40s so "The" Ohio State University isn't the only school that likes to post fake 40 times.
