September 16th

Other than UF/UT obviously, I'll make an effort to watch the entire LSU/Auburn game. Probably try and catch parts of the others.

Has the time been set for the Auburn/LSU game yet?

Has this LSU/Auburn matchup become the west side of the conference' equal to the Tennessee/Florida game?...It seems whomever wins this game has the inside track early to the title game. Id like to pull for Auburn in this one because while we play LSU on our schedule even if we beat em we may have to play em again in the title game and its hard to beat a team twice in one year. We're gonna see one of em in the title game...which of these two are more beatable? I don't know Tid...good question on the gametime.

yes, i would say that the LSU/AUB game has taken the place of the UT/UF game of the 90's....i don't think you'll find too many that will argue that as of the last 4-5 years, the West has been better than the East....

as for who i'll root for....i like your logic, but i just can't see me pulling for Auburn.....but i don't know that i can stomach Les Miles having a legit shot at an SEC title either...

Tennessee-Florida
LSU-Auburn
Clemson-FSU
Michigan-Notre Dame
Miami-Louisville
Oklahoma-Oregon
Nebraska-USC.

That's a pretty good day.

agreed...very good day....can't wait.

we ought to make picks right now!!!

TN...i hope.
FSU...no faith in Clemson, especially with all the expectations in Death Valley this year.
Mich...i just hate ND.
Miami...Miami's D should be pretty good, and i expect them to contribute with short feilds for their offense.
Oregon...no qb for OK...should be interesting.
USC...Neb may be better, but not that much better.

Here is how much importance I will be putting into watching each of these games, in order from MOST to LEAST:

UF-UT (duh)
LSU-Aub (duh x2)
Mich-ND
Miami-Louis
OU-Oregon
Clem-FSU
Neb-USC

[dan4vols]

I think we beat UF in a typical close one, simply because this team is on a mission with a renewed sense of self. I think LSU has more speed than Auburn....but Auburn is more physical...I think itll be a blowout toss up...one or the other will win big. I think Michigan beats ND...one of 4 losses ND will see this season.

Game day will without a doubt be at the Mich/Notre Dame game. For some odd reason, everyone rides ND c***.

they have only been to 27 bowls in their history. 27. and their record is 13-14. Who gives a rat's ass???

They're hyping it as "The Biggest Game in Louisville History." Of course, they said the same thing we they opened with us in '91 and we cracked their skulls and broke the leg of Brohm's brother.

us? we?

In the interest of accuracy, Notre Dame's seemingly small number of bowl games is due in large part to a University policy against participation in such events. I think the policy remained in effect until sometime in the '60s.

It's amazing what dollar signs can do for your principles.
