scUM at tOSU
Florida at Florida State
Miami at Florida
Alabama at Auburn
Auburn at LSU
Florida at LSU
Georgia vs. Florida
Texas at Oklahoma
Nebraska at Oklahoma
UCLA vs USC
scUM at ND

FSU @ Florida >>>>>>> UF @ FSU
You have no reason to go to Doak.

USC comes to Lincoln this year. Sam Keller led USC 21-3 at halftime the last time he had them at home. Giddy up.

Except that there's no way I'd root for UF in that game. Plus, I want to see that flaming spear chucking Seminole. I can definitely get behind UF against the U though.

It's kind of cool but a bit overrated.

Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot imagine me not being in Champaign for that one

Juice to Benn, Juice to Benn

I'm actually looking forward to Illinois-Mizzou in St. Louis to open up 2007. Depending on that, I might go out to Syracuse and catch Niagara Falls as well (since I've never been there).


I really like your list and have thought about doing the same thing myself.

Re: Offseason College Football Thread
 

Illinois championship without Ron Zook, right?

Re: Offseason College Football Thread
 

nope....I believe in the Zooker

I'm hoping with experience, he'll manage timeouts and scoring scenarios better. He has done a great job at developing players at Illinois so far (the improvement on defense this past season was incredible). Locksley does a good job at playcalling. Unfortunately, Locksley will be gone soon enough. He deserves a high profile job. That guy is a get.

Re: Offseason College Football Thread
 

Hmm, just checked Sagarin and App State was 53rd last season. Don't know what they have coming back or anything, but that's very interesting. Does this change your opinion MTR?

(Yeah, I understand it shouldn't be challenging and they are still just a paycheck. But 53rd is pretty respectable for a paycheck.)
