College Football Preview: Questions

While we here in BSD land have been focused on baseball, the mafia…I mean the NBA and the looming NFL rookie contract season there’s something else coming…oh yeah college football. A Saturday refuge from the hum drum of daily existence the college football season is ready for another crazy, nut stomping, cooler pooping season. So what are some questions floating around that will be answered?

One thing not in doubt.....(h/t edsbs )

Big East
Which injured QBs will stay healthy? Brian Brohm of Loooivile and Stven Slaton of the West Virginia Meth Labs are both coming back from injuries. Both are Heisman trophy hopefuls, both are on highly ranked teams and both might be able to push their team to the national championship game but only if they are healthy. Other questions to consider: Where is Rutgers located again? And will the Mustache finally return to his porn career after he gets fired at Pittsburgh?

Big 10
Which Michigan defense will show up? The Michigan offense has basically all of its starters and weapons back so its just a question of the defense coming to play. Except for the last two games of the season the Michigan defense was dominant. However, the last two it just kind of took a pounding not seen this side of Lindsey Lohan on a binger (which I believe is called Tuesdays). Factor in the number of starters lost for the defensive side and that’s a big question. The other major question centers on the Wisconsin QB. After careful research Bucky Badger does indeed have a quarterback. If he’s slightly more effective than a tackling dummy and can keep defenses from focusing on Ron Dayne’s clone (PJ Hill) it might be a Badger Big 10 title.

SEC
Will LSU back its smack talk up? Les Miles obviously hopped up on Louisiana moonshine went on the radio to more or less guarantee a national championship birth, attacked USC, and may have killed a hobo on air. LSU gets Auburn and Florida at home so the path is their for the taking. Other questions to consider: Will Tim Tebow's VD affect his play and will anyone notice if Kentucky doesn't play a single game this year.

Les Miles hates keeping his mouth shut, USC, and hobos

Big 12
Does anyone that can read care? Yes, yes I should be more politically correct about the dust bowl division but I can’t. OU still doesn’t have a QB, a former Raider coach is still husking corn and Texas is led by somebody named Colt (unsure if its in reference to the horse or gun). Short of McCoy’s arm falling off Texas should win this division.

Pac 10
Same question as every year, can anyone win this division but USC? UCLA has made great strides and kept the Championship Bowl from being paved with Trojans but can they win on USC home turf. Cal seems to enjoy being that girl that teases like she might have all the goods in the dank bar but when the lights come on you realize she has a droopy eye or a hook hand or something that would disqualify her from being taken home.

Independents
Has anyone who’s seen Notre Dame’s schedule think they’ll have a decent season? Nope. G-Tech, at Penn State, at Michigan, at UCLA, Michigan State, BC and USC. That’s a nasty start. While Notre Dame finishes up with the Joint Chief’s of Staff, Duke, Stanford and the cast from Grey’s Anatomy an ugly early start might drive Charlie Weis into a food binge not seen since Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.
