USC vs. Ohio State Preview

Here's my preview for one of the biggest games of the season:

Week 1: USC,56 San Jose State,3

Week 1:Ohio State,31 Navy,27

Both teams have young quarterbacks as starters, plus some losses on defense. But I still like USC in this one, they are loaded at the running back position and still have a great D led by safety Taylor Mays(right). Predicted Score:28-24, USC.

Kiffin's First Game of College A Success

Lane Kiffin former coach of the Oakland Raiders first game in college football will be put in the success bucket as they routed Western Kentucky 63-7. But the question: Does Kiffin and Tennessee have enough to contend with other schools in the SEC. Other news in college football: Iowa survives Northern Iowa with a blocked field goal 17-16, Oklahoma State proves they aren't overrated beating 13 ranked Georgia 24-10, Oregon halfback suspended for season.

Official College Football Preview:Ohio State Buckeyes

10. Ohio State Buckeyes Key Game:USC, 9/12/09

Every year Ohio State loses so much talent. Chris Wells, Malcolm Jenkins and Todd Boeckham. Now they get sophomore halfback Daniel Herron, safety Kurt Coleman to replace Malcolm Jenkins and quarterback Terrelle Pryor. That means Ohio State is young and will hopefully be young for one to two more years after 2009-2010. Ohio State is still an elite team but are they enough to hold off Penn State for the Big Ten championship?

Official College Football:Ole Miss Rebels

9.Ole Miss Rebels Key Game:Alabama, 10/10/09

Last year was the breakout year for the Ole Miss program as they won 9 games including wins against Florida and Texas Tech. Now the expectations are very high for Ole Miss as they are some people's favorites to challenge Florida and Alabama for the SEC crown.But is quarterback Jeveon Snead and defensive end Greg Hardy ready to lead a team that far? The Rebels are probably a top ten team but they might not have enough to go after there.

Official College Football Preview:Alabama Crimson Tide

8. Alabama Crimson Tide Key Game:Virginia Tech, 9/5/09

Last year was a dream season for the Crimson Tide. They started the season 23rd in the nation but finished 6 with wins against Clemson and Georgia. This year things look look very different. Alabama doesn't have quarterback John Parker Wilson, Glenn Coffee or Andre Smith. But, they have huge tackle Terrence Cody. And first year starting quarterback Greg McElroy has similarities compared to Colt McCoy. The Tide will not look like last year but they will challenge Florida for the SEC Championship, once again.

Official College Football Preview:Oklahoma State Cowboys

7. Oklahoma State Cowboys Key Game:Texas,10/31/09

The Cowboys have a extremely talented offense led by quarterback Zac Robinson and wideout Dez Bryant. Bryant will have to cover up for the loss of tight end Brandon Pettigrew but he can do that just fine. The thing though that has been keeping the Cowboys back is their defense. Hopefully defensive back Perrish Cox will improve his only okay coverage skills this year. If he does the Cowboys will challenge Oklahoma and Texas for the Big 12 crown. If he doesn't and the Cowboys defense is only decent they may fall back into the crowd.

Official College Football Preview:Boise State Broncos

6.Boise State Broncos Key Game:Oregon,9/3/09

Let's face it, the Broncos have one of the easiest schedules in the top 25. The toughest game will be against a talented Oregon Duck team. The Broncos have a star in Kellen Moore who could be a possible Heisman canidate if he was in a bigger school. Moore wins with his patientence and accuracy. Don't be surprised if Boise State goes undefeated in the regular season again.

Official College Football Preview: Virginia Tech Hokies

5. Virginia Tech Hokies Key Game:Alabama,9/5/09

The Hokies aren't really the most exciting team in the nation. But at least they win games. They have a nice defense despite the loss of cornerback Victor "Macho" Harris, but the offense is still pretty questionable. Will Tyrod Taylor cut down on his constant interceptions? And will running back Darren Evans be healthy for the season. The Hokies have a nice D which will help them but Tyrod Taylor is the real X-Factor.

Official College Football Preview:Oklahoma Sooners

4. Oklahoma Sooners Key Game:Texas,10/17/09

The Sooners have some holes. With a new offensive line Heisman winner Sam Bradford will have to be very aware. Luckily, he'll have Trent Williams, the only returning starter will protect his blind side. The Sooners don't have great options for Bradford, the star is tight end Jermaine Greshaim. That will probably kill Bradford's chances of another Heisman. Despite, some of these holes the Sooners are still as talented as ever and Bradford will lead them to another BCS run.

Attack of the Underdogs

Last year the Boise State team went undefeated until a loss in the Poinsietta Bowl, and made some BCS teams worried about other underdog schools. Here are some teams that will be just like the '08-'09 season of Boise State:

1.Boise State: The Broncos have a talented quarterback in Kellen Moore and a pretty easy schedule with an easy WAC Conference. If they can do the same as last they will challenge for a BCS bowl.

2.Utah: Last year the Utes breakout season began with a win against the Michigan Wolverines. This year they may mark it in week three against the dangerous Oregon Ducks. Utah will look great again this year.

3. TCU: The Frogs will definitely challenge the Utes for the top of the Mountain West conference. They have a nice D led by Jerry Hughes, the leader in sacks last year with 15 sacks and six forced fumbles. Watch out for the Horned Frogs.

4. BYU: Yet another Mountain West team that will challenge for the championship. Quarterback

Max Hall is one of the most underrated players in the nation after throwing for 35 touchdowns.BYU will scare many teams.

5.Califronia: The Bears are an top 25 team. If running back Jahvid Best can continue his season he had last year. Same with cornerback Syd'Quan Thompson(four interceptions in '08). Even in a tough conference the Bears will star.
