No, no, yes, J-Fly, no (no upset on our slate would be truly shocking), don't know, no, probably, yes, a little, yes, no, yes, yes, yes, no, Michigan State, Kansas, no, Ohio State and someone that's gonna beat the living crap out of them.

Done and done. :thumbsup:
 
Yes, Yes, Yes, Sumler, Yes, A well deserved Bowl game, No, Yes, No, A little bit, YES!, No, Yes, Yes, No, Yes, Don't know, UT, No, USC and Ohio St.

:rofl2:

Actually, IF OSU (spit on them) gets past USC on 13 SEP, I think they can go the distance. I know, I know...crappy conference whatnot...BUT, they really have talented athletes, are well coached and this year have a TON of returning experience.

Oh, another answer...

SEC is often the best conference--it's tough to deny, BUT when the dust settles (bowl victories and other OOC play) the Big XII will be the strongest conference this season because of our wealth of returning experience.
 
COLORADO
20. Is Colorado ready to contend in the North again?

Contend - Yes. The question is will be overcome youth, have smarter and more consistent play and playcalling. Will the team that beat OU show up each week, or the team that lost to Iowa State?

19. Will Darrell Scott live up to his reputation in year 1?

80% of it. Will start to really shine by game 3 or 4.

18. Will Colorado have a good pass rush?

Better than 2007. At least 4 more sacks.

17. Which Buff is most likely to have a breakout year?

J-Fly - he never scored in 2007. That is going to change in a big way. Eight touchdowns or more.

16. Will CU produce another shocking upset like against OU last year?

Yes. Twice.

15. What bowl if any will CU go to?

One of em.
 
20. Is Colorado ready to contend in the North again?- Not this year. Soon. We need a more upper classmen lead team.

19. Will Darrell Scott live up to his reputation in year 1?- I don't know. I hope so.

18. Will Colorado have a good pass rush?- Should. It's been an emphisis in camp.

17. Which Buff is most likely to have a breakout year?- PDub, based on him being a senior. MTM, based on the fact that there will be injuries on o-line and he will be needed.

16. Will CU produce another shocking upset like against OU last year?- Odds are good. But I hope it won't be considered such a huge upset this year when it happens.

15. What bowl if any will CU go to?- too early to tell. most likely a bowl like last year.

14. Will Oklahoma 3-peat as Big 12 champs?- If I were putting $ on it, that who I would pick.

13. Is Texas Tech overatted?- Hard to say. We may not find out the answer until Nov. 1 when Texas comes a calling.

12. Is Mizzou good enough to win the Big 12 and contend for the national title?- I think they are, but like every team, they will need some luck also.

11. How much will Nebraska improve with Pelini?- Maybe a little on the D side this year, but not much. It will take some time.

10. Was KU a fluke last year?- Yes and no. Yes, they were able to sneak up on foes last year. No, they are very will coached.

9. Will #1 Georgia end season at #1?- Odds say no.

8. Is the SEC the best confrence?- Until proven otherwise, yes.

7. Is the Big 10 an overatted confrence?- Depends on where they're ranked this year, if it's behind the SEC, B12 and the PAC10 then, no, there right where they should be.

6. Will Tim Tebow become the second player to win two heismans? If not who wins?- I'm gonna say no because I don't want to hear next year if he will win 3. I guess Chase this year.

5. Is this the last season for Bobby Bowden or Joe Pa?- No.

4. Who is this years Kansas (surprise team)?- If I knew this, it wouldn't be a surprise. Hope it's us.

3. Who will be the most dissapointing team (as in underachieving)?- Kansas.

2. Will there be an undefeated team this year? Unlikley. It's getting too tough now with scholly limits they way they are.

1. Who will play in the BCS championship game? Florida and SC.
 
21. on the conference angle: Another mystery year for Texas A&M: not only a new coach, but *once again* the Aggies enter the season as a complete mystery with top 25 talent. they could win 5 games or 9 games, who knows?
 
COLORADO
20. Is Colorado ready to contend in the North again? No....2009 we'll win it

19. Will Darrell Scott live up to his reputation in year 1? Yes, late in the year (game 8 on)

18. Will Colorado have a good pass rush? No - a good pass rush is still 1 year away. It will be decent at best.

17. Which Buff is most likely to have a breakout year? (way out on a limb...) Mo Lucas. I think he'll finally relax, have fun, and play some good football.

16. Will CU produce another shocking upset like against OU last year? Yes, WVu or Tehass, or both :smile2:

15. What bowl if any will CU go to? Alamo

BIG 12
14. Will Oklahoma 3-peat as Big 12 champs? Yes, and then they'll promptly choke in a BCS bowl game.....again

13. Is Texas Tech overatted? Before - yes. This year - no - 10-2 and knocking on the BCS door.

12. Is Mizzou good enough to win the Big 12 and contend for the national title? No and No. They'll win the norte and lose to the landthieves in the CCG.

11. How much will Nebraska improve with Pelini? 6-6, or 7-5 at best. They're OOC (except WVu) is the batter for the cupcakes.

10. Was KU a fluke last year? Early in the year - yes. Late in the year they were playing some pretty good ball. Can they sustain it? No.

NATION
9. Will #1 Georgia end season at #1? No. Late season 3 of 4 games on the road in the $EC is brutal.

8. Is the SEC the best confrence? Yes.

7. Is the Big 10 an overatted confrence? Did you even have to ask that question???? Absolutely. The media east of the mighty mud river fights amongst themselves for the chance to knob-job the Bloated 10/11 conference. At some point in the season, every team that has clean smelling uniforms will be ranked for at least 1 week.

6. Will Tim Tebow become the second player to win two heismans? If not who wins? No reason he can't put up the same numbers as last year, so yes. Then he'll declare for the no-fun-league and we'll get to see how good or bad he really is.

5. Is this the last season for Bobby Bowden or Joe Pa? No. But it should be for JoPa.

4. Who is this years Kansas (surprise team)? I don't think there's another nobody team that will get 10 wins like they did last year. But for surprises, let's try Miss State.

3. Who will be the most dissapointing team (as in underachieving)? Sorta Lame in South Bendover. Chunky Charlie will be on the hot bench (ass is too big for a single seat).

2. Will there be an undefeated team this year? No. Talent is too well distributed. However, sadly, if T-waddafukisaTdoininfrontof-OSU beat u$c, they could run the table (see #7 above).

1. Who will play in the BCS championship game? u$c and the winner of the $ec - I just don't know who it will be. I sure as hell hope it ain't the team I named in #2, above.
 
21. on the conference angle: Another mystery year for Texas A&M: not only a new coach, but *once again* the Aggies enter the season as a complete mystery with top 25 talent. they could win 5 games or 9 games, who knows?

I don't think they will make a bowl game.
 
I don't think they will make a bowl game.

if they played our schedule i don't think they would, but on the strength of a likely 3-1 cupcake OOC, i'd say their chances are pretty good. all they have to do is beat KSU at home, at ISU and at Baylor for 6 wins. they're North draw is very very favorable...no KU, no MU, no NU.

COLORADO
20. Is Colorado ready to contend in the North again?

Maybe not this year, but lookout next year!

19. Will Darrell Scott live up to his reputation in year 1?

I don't believe DS has a reputation to live up to. I think all he needs to do this year is show Hawkins & Co that he intends to be the #1 tailback. I don't think it's a good idea to put so much pressure on a kid that might not be able to handle it this early in the season.

18. Will Colorado have a good pass rush? TBD

17. Which Buff is most likely to have a breakout year?

My vote was going to Simas until he let his grades go down the tubes.

16. Will CU produce another shocking upset like against OU last year?

Hoping against Texas at home or Kansas on the road

15. What bowl if any will CU go to?

To early to tell, but should be a better bowl game than last years. Although I wouldn't mind seeing the Buffs play Alabama again.

BIG 12
14. Will Oklahoma 3-peat as Big 12 champs?

No

13. Is Texas Tech overatted?

Yes

12. Is Mizzou good enough to win the Big 12 and contend for the national title?

Win the Big 12? Yes ---- National title, I think not.

11. How much will Nebraska improve with Pelini?

The 3rd year is when a coach is supposed to have the greatest improvment.

10. Was KU a fluke last year?

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

NATION
9. Will #1 Georgia end season at #1?

Hmmmmmmmm. No

8. Is the SEC the best confrence?

Maybe

7. Is the Big 10 an overatted confrence?

This year, yes.

6. Will Tim Tebow become the second player to win two heismans? If not who wins?

Barring injury, he has a very good chance.

5. Is this the last season for Bobby Bowden or Joe Pa?

Not Bobby, But Joe, Ithink so.

4. Who is this years Kansas (surprise team)? Da Buffs

3. Who will be the most dissapointing team (as in underachieving)? Clemson

2. Will there be an undefeated team this year? Yes

1. Who will play in the BCS championship game? No Clue?
 
I think RN will do pretty well. I think he is a good coach. He might have ran two good programs into the ground and gotten them in trouble with the NCAA, but I bet learned a lot being an assistant in the NFL. I wouldn't be surprised if UCLA is a national power in 2-3 years.

colorado
20. Is colorado ready to contend in the north again? one year away. Mizzou's schedule sets up too good. They'll lose 2 games max in conference.

19. Will darrell scott live up to his reputation in year 1? i'm guessing 95o yards and a lot of excitement to come.

18. Will colorado have a good pass rush? good, yes. Not sure we can sell out though.

17. Which buff is most likely to have a breakout year? jeff smart

16. Will cu produce another shocking upset like against ou last year? we'll beat someone we're not supposed to. I'm gonna say texas.

15. What bowl if any will cu go to? insight.com

big 12
14. Will oklahoma 3-peat as big 12 champs? if i had to bet on one team, i'd still take ou over mu. But, i'd take the field against ou. I think mu has the best chance to run the table.

13. Is texas tech overatted? they say they've got some d this year. Hard to tell, i think a couple teams will d up and knock them down to alamo bowl territory. They certainly won't lose ooc.

12. Is mizzou good enough to win the big 12 and contend for the national title? yes, no. I think an undefeated mu team gets beaten in the bcs game.

11. How much will nebraska improve with pelini? they'll get better on d (how could they not), but i'm not sure barney cotton/watson is a step up on the o side.

10. Was ku a fluke last year? no. They're a legit 8 win team this year with ou and ut on the schedule. Though, i think they lose at south florida.

nation
9. Will #1 georgia end season at #1? no.

8. Is the sec the best confrence? yes, though the xii is pretty stout this year.

5. Is this the last season for bobby bowden or joe pa? no.

4. Who is this years kansas (surprise team)? cal

3. Who will be the most dissapointing team (as in underachieving)? oklahoma, i see them as a 2-3 loss team again....cotton bowl or holiday, not top 5 or bcs.

2. Will there be an undefeated team this year? yes, but not in a bcs conference. Someone like byu.

1. Who will play in the bcs championship game? ohio state and usc


jmo.

13. Is Texas Tech overatted? YES

12. Is Mizzou good enough to win the Big 12 and contend for the national title? Yes

11. How much will Nebraska improve with Pelini? They will be improved on D, but still be a middle of the pack Big 12 team at best.

10. Was KU a fluke last year?Bowl team this year, but nowhere near last year

8. Is the SEC the best confrence? yes

7. Is the Big 10 an overatted confrence? yes

3. Who will be the most dissapointing team (as in underachieving)? Texas

Here are 20 questions I came up with for the 2008 season. There are some CU ones, Big 12 ones, and national ones. Feel free to discuss and then at the end of the season I am gonna bump the thread to see how everything turned out.

COLORADO
20. Is Colorado ready to contend in the North again?-Yes, but Mizzou will win it.

19. Will Darrell Scott live up to his reputation in year 1?-Before he got to Boulder I would have said yes. No so sure now, but I hope so. We need him.

18. Will Colorado have a good pass rush?-Can't be much worse.

17. Which Buff is most likely to have a breakout year?-CHawk and JFly.

16. Will CU produce another shocking upset like against OU last year?-Yes, WVU

15. What bowl if any will CU go to?-Alamo or Insight.com

BIG 12
14. Will Oklahoma 3-peat as Big 12 champs?-No. Mizzou

13. Is Texas Tech overatted?-Aren't they always.

12. Is Mizzou good enough to win the Big 12 and contend for the national title?-Yes, but I don't think they'll win the NC.

11. How much will Nebraska improve with Pelini?-Once they start playing week four I don't think you'll see any improvement. Their D has to be better, though.

10. Was KU a fluke last year?-Last year, no. This years schedule is much harder and they will lose 3-4 games.

NATION
9. Will #1 Georgia end season at #1?-Unlikely

8. Is the SEC the best confrence?-Yes

7. Is the Big 10 an overatted confrence?-Hell yes

6. Will Tim Tebow become the second player to win two heismans? If not who wins?-I don't think so

5. Is this the last season for Bobby Bowden or Joe Pa?-They're gonna be put in the ground before they quit.

4. Who is this years Kansas (surprise team)?-Hopefully CU

3. Who will be the most dissapointing team (as in underachieving)?-Georgia

2. Will there be an undefeated team this year?-Whoever wins the USC-OSU game has a great shot at undefeated.

1. Who will play in the BCS championship game?
USC-Mizzou
 
You have Mizzou going undefeated, but not playing in the BCS championship?:huh:

no, i say of all the teams in the conference i think they have the best shot of running the table since they have about a 3-4 game season--and have the North. Illinois, @NU, @UT, and KU (and will be favored in at least 3 of those 4). i don't think they do it; but if they do...they'll get worked by an SEC gorilla, tOSU, or USC.
 
I will focus on the first five questions (cop out? yes, but what I am mainly concerned about)

COLORADO
20. Is Colorado ready to contend in the North again? You bet. If our O-line gels (mainly at G and if Girthy can snap the damn ball in the shotgun) then we will be a force. I think the D will surprise people. I feel CU will have a legit shot at winning the North THIS year.

19. Will Darrell Scott live up to his reputation in year 1? Without a doubt. He will be a dominate force that will bring national attention to the program.

18. Will Colorado have a good pass rush? It will take blitzing LBs more frequently than I'd like, but yes, the pass rush will be better.

17. Which Buff is most likely to have a breakout year? Mike Sipili, he will set the tone for the D with bone jarring hits.

16. Will CU produce another shocking upset like against OU last year? Yup. Maybe two or three. I like our chances against every team we play (thus including the likes of Mizzou, Texas, WVU, Kansas, and Fla State).

Go Buffs!! Less than a week away, baby!
 
One more I want to throw my two-cents in on...

11. How much will Nebraska improve with Pelini? There is a feeling of euphoria in Husker land right now. See "stock market bubble burst", "house bubble burst", "Hindenburg", etc. for my thoughts on that.:drink2:
