FSU plays in their BCS bowl this weekend.

I know we expect FSU, Florida and Miami to be better than they are now, but right now we have six out of seven I-A schools with winning records, and UCF and FAU still have conference hopes.

 

This is a pretty good year for Florida I-A football. :mischief

I think this season UM, FSU and Florida will probably have more combined losses than any other season the past 25 or so seasons so I don't think this is a good year for Florida football and I don't see things getting better for either FSU or UM in the near future.

Temple's got Ohio this week in a crucial MAC game....Believe it or not, The Owls can make the MAC title game.

if you believe the hype that is local high school recruiting...then things at UM will be looking up before you know it

I think HS recruiting is very important but so is the coaching of the recruits once you get them in and although I've read or heard about 11000 times from the local media what a great job of recruiting Shannon is doing when I look at where 3rd parties rank his '08 class (7th on rivals.com / 4th on scouts.com) I laugh at the homer talk coming out of South Florida because that's more or less where UM usually ranks so Shannon's class although good it's nothing special for UM standards and I don't think Shannon and Nix are particularly good coaches.

 

UM wont be good until they get a good QB. Next year Kirby will still suck and although I've read about 20000 times how great Marve will be the bottom line is no one has any idea if he'll be any good given that QB recruits are very difficult to predict and he wasn't even that highly rated coming out of HS (10th highest rated QB).

High school recruits don't always translate well.

 

Works Cited: UF's defense

FSU is going to be past their depressing era next year when EJ Manuel goes under center.

 

Unfortunately I have a strong feeling that he won't get a shot to start until his soph year

FSU and UM will get better, just not next year. Next year should be UF's year. If not, I'd say we're pretty much going to be average for the forseeable future.

UCF will be better next year too. Kevin Smith is a junior.

Wheres Miami recruit out of locally? The West Palm Beach area? Around Coral Springs? I honestly dont know.

Hawks go to Northwestern.. a must win at a place that hasn't been nice to us. Win it

I have tickets to Florida vs Vandy but now that i know that the BIG game is on I am staying home GO OWLS!!!!

Buffs have a tough one at home again #9 Missouri this week. Hopefully we can pull off another Big 12 upset at home for the ever important win #6

UNM(6-2) at TCU(4-4) this week.

 

People here in New Mexico are going crazy about this team. As well they should be. This could be the best team ever at UNM.

Wheres Miami recruit out of locally? The West Palm Beach area? Around Coral Springs? I honestly dont know.

 

 

Miami recruits locally in the inner city area, where the No.1 high school team in the nation is (Northwestern) in which Miami alreay has about 5 or 6 oral commitments from....

#14/15 Elon (6-2) @ Furman (3-5)

 

Huge freaking game. Never beaten them in school history. But it's been the year of firsts for us. Lets do it again.

 

(BTW Dodge. Playoff projections had Elon vs JMU last week in the first round :mischief Still a long ways to go though)

 

Couple other big FCS matchups this weekend:

#12 JMU @ #7 Delaware

#17 Ga Southern @ #10 Wofford

#11 Richmond @ #23 Villanova

We HAVE to beat Delaware on the road this weekend or we're in a world of trouble in terms of getting in the playoffs.

 

Go Dukes. Please win.

 

I'm going on the road next weekend to my hometown to see JMU play William & Mary, that's going to be a blast.

Go Spiders...Only saying that as part of the broadcast team.

Undefeated Northern Iowa had a huuuge win last week, coming back from 13 down in the 4th to beat the always tough Youngstown State. Pretty tough game at Missouri State this weekend.
