6. People jawing about the Big Ten
The Conference's laughable showing in the 2009 bowls has meant that according to the BCS, the Big Ten sucks.
You'll hear words like "slow" and "not good enough for the NFL" thrown around, as well as "not as competitive as the Pac-10 or SEC".
So if you love the Big Ten, get your defenses ready, because people are going to be raining bombs.
7. The constant talk of a USC-Florida match-up
Not to put two schools under pressure or anything, but everyone seems to think that USC and Florida will play each other for a National Title.
Just in case you missed it, USC's got to start a new quarterback and Florida's going to really miss Percy Harvin. Plus, USC always seems to lose a Pac-10 game while Florida's got to run the table in the SEC—which isn't exactly easy.
So why don't we give the schools a break until October, eh?
8. Fickle fans, fickle broadcasters
After giving schools a ton of hype early on, a team will lose a couple of games and the fans will only show up if they can boo...loudly. The broadcasters will probably do the same sort of thing. Sorry, Michigan.
9. The upsets
If you're at a top, or near to the top-ranked school during November, prepare to hate the school that beats you either on a final-second field goal/interception or simply because you forgot to bring the heaters to the bench.
Because when the weather gets cold, Mr. and Mrs. Upset are in town. And believe me, you'll learn to hate them.
10. Your new coach's guts
After losing to Wichita Tech 49-13, you'll be pretty upset with the coach that promised everything and delivered nothing.
So light the fires, and run the boy out of town! There will always be a new one to run out of town next year!
