Both there teams are 0-2 and looking at a very bad season with tough schedules ahead. Palmer might not make it out of this weeks matchup with the Giants.

LSU is coming off a national championship. Alabama has put together two highly ...  read more

Today we will preview the #9 Clemson Tigers. This is Clemson's best chance in years to become ACC champions, a title the Tigers once won with regularity. There is no doubt, however, that the Tigers have the best group of talent in the ACC's Atlantic Division, which has about six more contenders for the league title than the weaker Coastal Division. Clemson has the league's top returning quart ...  read more

Today we will preview the WVU Mountaineers. Coming off an upset in the Fiesta Bowl of Oklahoma you would think this team might be ranked even higher.

Today we will preview the OSU Buckeyes. This team seems destined to have another great season. They return almost all starters from last years 11-2 big ten champs team.

Both came back for one reason, to win a ...  read more

Today leads us to the preview of # USC Trojans. Another year finds USC near the top of the preseason rankings. Seems like every year they are a fixture near the top!

They lose 10 starters to the NLF but have dep ...  read more
