Indeed it does. Good eatin'
Really, it's just the jag's avatar, I had to do it. Most of your picks are close to mine, except for you doubting the supreme power of the UCF Citronauts, truly a power conference unto itself.
I actually chose PennState

good first up picks IMO.

Of course. There's hope.
Haha yeah, I feel like the Jags robbed UCF of most of their talent this offseason.
Iunno,
UCF's entire dline is back this year and PSU's oline has only one starter coming back this year. Really think Hackenberg is just going to get destroyed this year.

Defensively, we will be nasty I think. Only a couple losses from last year. Offensively, I am confident about the running game and we do have depth at the OLine. Our starting QB is good. Just obviously not any game experience at this point. So it will be interesting.
We had 7 total seniors last year plus the two losses in Bortles and Storm.

The Georgia State game will be enough to tide me over until Saturday, even if I'm not too sure we'll do well.
Can't feel good about Clemson's chances this season after losing so many good players at once, but what can you do.

I was half-kidding, but yeah, UCF's defense should dominate the American this year! (Though I picked Houston to win it)

Just heard from an unreliable source that Nussmeier wants Morris and Hoke is playing the senior loyalty card sticking with Gardner. Yikes. I'm quickly falling back into "Michigan is gonna blow again" territory, down from "they're gonna be fine" territory. :/
Despite picking UM in my pool, I think you guys are in for bad year, because you guys are getting Hoked.

Ouch. Silly way to get yourself suspended.

9-4 or bust for me. 8-5 (or God forbid worse) I want Hoke gone. At least this time around it seems like the next guy will be inheriting a halfway decent cupboard.

At least dick rod progressed in his years there, they gave up on him too easy.

Anyone can "progress" from 3-9.
And his last game here was ..... no, I'm not even going to mention it.

I thought the program started with pretty good support. Guess that went away. Or was that Georgia Southern?
Southern.
Southern. State has only had a football team for 5 years and this is their second year in FBS.
He did great work there. Erk was also the best defensive coordinator we ever had.
He's not in the CFB Hall of Fame, but he definitely should be.

Same as MCU
Not so weird in a post Kekua world.
Every time we get mistaken for that shitty excuse of a football program I vomit a bit in my mouth.

Given the USC kid is a good kid, he might be given some slack. Unless this is some kind of armed robbery thing.
Your avatar......just sickening!
It seems St. out drew Southern last year, not by much though. 15,577 vs. 14828
http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/football_records/Attendance/2013.pdf
State: 25k students in the middle of Atlanta, playing in the Georgia Dome.
Southern: 18k students in Statesboro.
Not surprising that State outdrew Southern.
I do wonder why it's called Georgia Southern when it's in the Northern part of the state...

Don't believe their lies.
Last year was a limbo year where we were not eligible for FCS playoffs. The stadium was also undergoing construction and there was much apathy for the season in the fanbase. Our usual average attendance for non-playoff games is around 20,000.
