Season well under way already, but this weekend there are a lot of fantastic games.

#8 Oklahoma vs #21 Texas [Red River Rivalry]
#9 Stanford vs #4 Oregon
#7 Florida vs #1 Alabama
#22 Penn State vs #17 Iowa
#11 Wisconsin vs #24 Michigan State


Yum.


Are there any college football fans here? Who do you support? I support the Michigan Wolverines.

We are already 4-0, like we were last season. But last season, we lost 7 of our last 8 games and finished 5-7, and without the opportunity to play in a bowl game. Our defense is dire this season, but out O is nearly unmatched. We've got a Heisman candidate in Denard Robinson, and one of the best O-Lines in the country. Defense will cost us though, and I see 7 maybe 8 wins this season.

right here mang, go trojans go! Unfortunately they have railed back the coverage to *sigh* only bowl games, which USC wont be apart of.

Not looking good for them boys in Southern Cal. But FFS, Big Blue was made to look little by Little Brother.


This was supposed to be the year. RR finally got the offensive recruits he wanted. The team had made the transition. Our offense was no longer young. Our receiving core is brilliant. Our RB's are brilliant. Our QB's are brilliant. Our O-Line is brilliant. Yet we can't put the pieces together.

Defense first. Pre-season was the worst part of out "season". Our secondary was raped by this thing we call life. Boubacar Cissoko, blue chip CB and likely our #1 for the year, gets dismissed from the team and sent to jail for burglary charges. Troy Woolfolk, likely to be our #2, breaks his leg in camp and is out for the season. And to top it all off, our Blue Chip safety recruit Demar Dorsey is denied acceptance to UM.

3 guaranteed starters on our poor defense and non of them are suiting up for us. We were destined for shit. Rogers and Floyd are good depth CB's, but weren't supposed to be counted on and marking the other team's 1's and 2's.

Watching my team get picked apart by a poor team in their own right is painful.

Gonna bump this to get some discussion going. First let me say: HAHA MSWho?! Get in Iowa!

Second, why do we only decide to start playing in the 4th quarter?

I support the Illini by default. I don't follow them in any way though.

[ThaReaper01]

Decent team this year TBH. Inconsistent though. Wrecked Penn State, but capitulated against MSWho.

We're supposed to be rivals right? I've seen tons of Muck Fichigan t-shirts on campus. :D

[ThaReaper01]

Our official rivals are MSU, OSU, Notre Dame, and Minnesota. But the games have been hotly contested over the years, so it's one of those 'on the fly' type things, ala Iowa/Penn State. So much Michigan hate on the Illini campus? Hmm. TBH, you guys might be Michigan's rivals in basketball and maybe that explains the hate. I dunno.
