I'll be rooting for Alabama the rest of the way (or til they are out of the NC race) and OU of course to make it to the NC game. I have too many freinds and people that I know who are Bama fans to not root for them to meet.
That being said, I will wait til after week 3 to predict who I would guess for the big game at the end. Still dont' know what we have. I'll root for my Sooners but, like you John, I'll reserve judgement and not just jump on the 'We're number one' train.
But weekly games are still fun.
Goergia is a good team. I've been hearing crazy whacky fan guy say Goergia really sucks because they lost to Boise.
So I am going Georgia over SC. Spurier has been underachieving for a long time now. And though I agree with the saying that Boise doesn't have to line up against tough teams on a regular basis, it doesn't mean that they couldn't. My point has always been they don't deserve a shot because they don't have to play tougher teams like the rest do. BUT, I think they could just as easily do it in the SEC, Big 12 or Big 10 as Forida, Bama, Oklahoma, Texas Ohio State and others. But becasue they dont' DO it. They dont' get the shot at a NC. So to beat Boise is no smaller task then beating Bama, LSU, or OU. And LOSING to Boise is no worse than losing to Bama, LSU, or OU.
Gotta go Bama over Joe Pahhhhh.... lol Until a Big Ten team finally beats an SEC team that isn't Vandy, Miss St., Kentucky or SC, .... I'll go SEC all day long.
Miss St. is horrible around the clock. I'll go Auburn on talent alone. Utah State should be a pattsy game and it took a lucky fluke to win but every team has a game like that at times. And those teams out there in the west are under-rated. I think Utah, Boise, TCU and a few others have proven that enough times.
