Here it is baby

College football officially starts tomorrow. So lets talk about the big games and possible upsets that we have brewing for this weekend:

Missouri vs. Illinois

This game has big time implications. The Tigers have the Big 12 title on their mind as well as a national championship birth. Illinois is not as quite as ambitious but they have their eyes set on Ohio State and a Big Ten Championship. If they can run with Missouri they have a good chance in a weak conference.

Clemson vs Alabama

Nick Saban is the most powerful coach according to Forbes Magazine but Clemson and Tommy Bowden are a top-10 team. It is going to be an early test for notoriously under-achieving Clemson and the freshman loaded Alabama team.

Appalachian State at LSU

App state of Michigan blah blah blah. Can they do it two years in a row?

Fresno State at Rutgers

The Bulldogs are primed for a break out season and possibly some BCS busting. Their campaign starts with the Scarlet Knights. It is an early test for Rutgers who needs to tune up for a rough conference schedule.
