I'm thrilled that football is back. As always, for our preview, I am only asking for things that will be determined before the end of the calandar year. Example: We will pick the teams that will play in the BCS National Championship Game, but not the winner. I'm also going to cut a few of the awards that we have picked in the past.
Deadline:
Saturday, September 3rd at 12:00
First, pick the champion of each of the 6 BCS conferences.
