Okay, so what if college football is a month away…Numerous idiotic preseason polls are already out. Since everybody seems to have their own bogus college football poll that doesn’t amount to shit, I figured why not waste my time complying one of my own to cause more chaos. For those who aren’t fortunate enough to travel around the country in a VIP RV, John Daly style with Jack on ice & purchase a ticket in the LastRow, here’s my “Preseason Top 20 Games” I must sit in front of my Boob Tube for…”PRESEASON” being the key word! For those of you who don’t agree with my Top 20, well there’s a shocker…College Football at its finest, it’s what we love! What’s a inadequate poll without a “Thanks For Coming”, better known as the glorification of the art who are “Receiving Additional Votes”…Which other games not in the Top 20 worthy of receiving this oh, so satisfying honor? Please Note, this poll comes with a “Viewer Discretion is Advised” disclamier.
20. Florida vs. Georgia, Oct. 28 Yeah, Urban Meyer won his first Cocktail Party, but the Dawgs didn’t have D.J. Shockley. That won’t have him this year either…Whatever this mean?
19. California at USC, Nov. 18 Cal has usually been a thorn in USC’s side. Should be no different again this time around.
18. Florida at Florida State, Nov. 25 The Gators pummeled the Noles last year, but that was a young, banged up FSU team. Both teams should be better this season.
17. Alabama at LSU, Nov. 11 The loser will likely be out of the SEC West title hunt.
16. South Carolina at Florida, Nov. 11 Get the hype started now for Steve Spurrier's first game back in the Swamp; Urban Meyer had better win it. “The Ole Ball Coach” Bowl…Enough said.
15. Arizona State at USC, Oct. 14 Shootout, shootout, shootout…Remember last year?
14. Alabama at Auburn, Nov. 18 “The Iron Bowl” is always a classic, at least one of the two will be in a position to win the SEC West title.
13. LSU at Florida, Oct. 7 Is this round one of the SEC championship? If both teams are unbeaten, this will be a battle of top five teams looking to stay in the national title chase.
12. Penn State at Ohio State, Sept. 23 The “Whiteout Game” revisited Horseshoe style in Columbus.
11. Texas at Nebraska, Oct. 21 This could be a preview of the Big 12 championship…Not that this is saying very much
10. Florida at Tennessee, Sept. 16 Always the first big SEC game of the year, this is when either Urban Meyer’s Gators take a first step to a huge season or when Tennessee officially announces that 2005 was an aberration.
9. Virginia Tech at Miami, Nov. 4 The home team hasn’t had much luck in this series over the last two years. In any event, it’ll be a shock if this doesn’t represent the Coastal Division champion.
8. West Virginia at Louisville, Nov. 2 This is the one Big Easters are drooling over. If all goes according to form, this might be for more than just the conference title.
7. Florida State at Miami, Sept. 4 It’s a shame this isn’t played after the two superpowers get a few tuneups. Hopefully it won’t be the ugly slopfest of last year.
6. Nebraska at USC, Sept. 16 It’s the first time these two have played since a 21-21 tie in 1970.
5. Michigan at Ohio State, Nov. 18 Former Buckeye head man John Cooper was fired partly because he couldn’t beat Michigan. Wolverine head man Lloyd Carr has lost four of his last five battles with the Buckeyes…How’s that Hot Seat LLLLLLLllllllloyd?
4. LSU at Auburn, Sept. 16 Alabama will have something to say in the matter, but this will likely be for the SEC West title. The last two games between the two have been decided by a total of four points.
3. Oklahoma vs. Texas (in Dallas), Oct. 7 Oklahoma should be back to being Oklahoma, while Texas fans hope their team doesn’t go back to being Texas in this series. A loss by OU would get people talking about how the series made a dramatic turn after two UT wins
2. Notre Dame at USC, Nov. 25 Notre Dame has lost its last two games at USC by a combined score of 85-23. Just imagine the hype if both teams are unbeaten. It might be better than the national championship, thanks to the BCS.
1. Ohio State at Texas, Sept. 9 The classic between these two last year got overlooked as the season wore on because of the great USC-Notre Dame game, the amazing national title race, and the all-timer bowl season. Can this game do for Ohio State what it did last year for Texas? If not, this should launch the Longhorns to another huge year.
