more disrespect from la times

[smazza]

6: Missouri vs. Kansas in Kansas City on Nov. 29. Missouri handed Kansas its only defeat in 2007, yet Kansas earned a BCS bowl bid while Missouri was dispatched to the Cotton.

5: Michigan at Ohio State on Nov. 22. Wolverines fans hope first-year Coach Rich Rodriguez won't spit out his first taste of college football's top rivalry.

Charlie Weis Freshmen could play key roles for UCLA...No. 8 Clemson: Chris Dufresne's top 25 rankings countdown

USC's Mark Sanchez looks good in drills

4: USC at UCLA on Dec. 6. Karl Dorrell went 1-4 against USC. UCLA hired Rick Neuheisel to do a different number on USC.

3: Florida vs. Georgia in Jacksonville on Nov. 1. Last year, in Georgia's win, the entire Bulldogs bench stormed the field after scoring the first touchdown. Wonder if that rubbed Florida the wrong way?

2: Georgia at Arizona State on Sept. 20. Georgia has traveled a total of 358 miles since 1998 for nonconference games and probably will still be No. 1 when it arrives in Tempe.

1: Ohio State at USC on Sept. 13. It could be a preview to this year's Rose Bowl or this year's national title game.

* Five new coaches to track:

5: Paul Johnson, from Navy to Georgia Tech. Johnson takes his vaunted triple-option offense to the ACC.

4: Bo Pelini, from Louisiana State defensive coordinator to Nebraska. Pelini's first order is to restore pride to a battered Blackshirt defense.

3: June Jones, from Hawaii to Southern Methodist. Jones takes over a football-starved program still trying to recover from its scandal-plagued history and NCAA-imposed Death Penalty stigma.

2: Neuheisel, from purgatory to UCLA. NCAA lifeguards lifted the "blackball" flag on Neuheisel's career and all he has to do now is take on Pete Carroll.

1: Rodriguez, from West Virginia to Michigan. The off-season's most awful soap opera finally ended when Michigan and Rodriguez agreed to open their checkbooks.

* Four early games that could get

uglier than Oregon's uniforms:

4: Hawaii at Florida on Aug. 30. Hawaii lost by 31 to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. And that's when the Warriors had Jones as coach and Colt Brennan as quarterback.

3: North Texas at LSU on Sept. 13. Last year, North Texas lost at Oklahoma, 79-10.

2: Villanova at West Virginia on Aug. 30. Two-word reason for 'Nova taking this game: "Check please."

1: Chattanooga at Oklahoma on Aug. 30. See: North Texas at Oklahoma last year.

* Three fearless predictions:

3: Another two-loss team from the SEC will earn a spot in this year's BCS national title game.

2: Clemson, which hasn't won the ACC title since 1991 but has been picked to win it this year, won't win it.

1: Notre Dame, 3-9 last year, will finish with a winning record and go to a bowl game.

* Two schools ranked too high

in the preseason AP poll:

No. 17 Virginia Tech. Sorry, we're off Beamer's bandwagon this year, and a projected starting wide receiver was just suspended indefinitely.

No. 19 South Florida. The Bulls are ranked two positions higher than No. 21 Oregon, which beat South Florida, 56-21, in last year's Sun Bowl.

* One thing you should never forget:

College football isn't fair. Never has been. There isn't a playoff. There are too many bowls. The polls are a joke. Some conferences have title games and some don't.

And your problem with that is . . . ?
