College Football 2015

One week to kickoff! I'll be in Atlanta for Louisville/Auburn in 9 days. Cannot wait. So who's making the playoffs this year? And what are the "best bets" in week 1?

Not sure about the other two but I think Ohio State and TCU are virtual locks this year to make the playoff. Ohio State has an insanely easy schedule (they may play 1 ranked school until the playoff and its at home), and then TCU has only one tough road game (Oklahoma) which they should be able to get thru. Then, it is whoever wins the SEC and probably whoever wins the Pac 12.

I like the playoff, but they really need to go to eight teams....P5 Champions, and then 3 at larges....maybe one of those at larges is the highest ranked non-P5 team so at least Cinderella has a chance.

OSU does have an easy schedule...but that first game might be difficult. Away game with suspensions/injuries...Saw they'll be missing 4 of their top 5 receivers that game.

Outside of March Madness there is nothing better in sports than a Saturday filled with College Football.

I'm starting off the season going to Texas vs. ND, absolutely can't wait.

Other than a Sunday filled with Pro football.

Nice. Wish I was going. We're having a big party for it, though.

I wouldn't consider TCU a virtual lock. Baylor will be good again this year, Oklahoma on the road is never a given, and this may be some major bias, but WVU's defense is going to be very damn good this year, and with decent QB play, could be a huge sleeper this year even with the loss of Alford, White, Trickett, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if WVU upset TCU honestly.

CRAP! That snuck up on me. I've texted an Auburn buddy and he's in if I get back from Florida in time. Tix are less than 500 left (which means pricey by the time I know I can make it). What a great way to kick off the season though!

So jealous Milhouse. It should be an awesome game.

This is the beginning of the best time of the year for me. College FB on Sat, NFL on Sun. Mrs. Brew and I having a couple of beers watching games and managing our FFL teams. Then, the best month. Nov, football and XU hoops.....and Thanksgiving.

I'm so pumped! Go Irish!

I have my tickets bought for 3 SEC road games this year:

Mizzou @ Georgia
Mizzou @ Vandy
Mizzou @ UK

Hopefully my Tigers can once again be the SEC East's sacrifice offering for the SEC championship game.

College football, even at the FCS level, or div3 level, is great. You're outside all day in nice fall weather. You could be watching the grass grow and still be having a good time.
