With the season starting in about 3 days, yea, I was wondering how you guys think some teams will do with new coaches or on probation.

I will start with Texas Tech, they were crazy and got rid of Leach and brought in Tommy Tuberville. I am wondering if he come in and change the high flying offense with a more convetional run game. Tuberville did decent at Auburn with an undefeated season, but there were some teams that should have done better and didn't. I could see one of the big upsets this weekend be SMU over Texas Tech. I like the Red Raiders under Leach and they were a force in the Big 12, but I am wondering if Tuberville will come in and send Texas Tech to the bottom again.

My next team is USC- Even with some players leaving, I think Barkely can be a big time quarterback, not sure yet about Kiffin as coach, but his dad should make the defense a handfull to deal with, but will USC say screw the NCAA, and go undefeated or if they lose 1 early, will they feel like a defeated team and have a .500 year. I think they will play like they are out to win everything and heck may go undefeated this season.

My last team and no coach issues or probation problems, but a team leaving a confernce in Nebraska, I think this team has a good shot at the national title this year, what I read they are still deciding who the starting quarterback. They seem to have the black shirts defense back and have about 3 running backs that can play, but if your the Big 12, would you be happy if Nebraska won it all or would you like to see a team that's staying in the Big 12 win the confernce and have a shot at the title, like say Oklahoma. I would say as a conference you want the title no matter who gets, even if a team is leaving.

How big is Northern Illinois' margin of victory over Iowa State in Ames on Thursday night?

If Nebraska wins the Big 12, do they get to bring the championship belt with them to the Big Ten? Maybe it can be like the Big Ten's version of the Intercontinental Title and Purdue could play Northwestern for it while the main eventers play for the Big Ten Title.
