    It's that time of year again. Time for tailgating, upsets, rivalries, traditions and everything else we love about college football. But this year has the potential to be a very special season for fans and players alike. Tim Tebow or Sam Bradford could become only the second player in college football history to win two heismans. Tebow also could win another national championship, giving him his third in four years. Boise State, Ole Miss, and Penn State could win a national championship for the first time since what seems like forever. 2009 also features many great games, teams, and quarterbacks.

 

Games Of The Year:

September 3 - Oregon at Boise State: This game will either show that Boise State is a BCS-caliber team or that Oregon is capable of challenging USC for the Pac 10 crown

September 5 - Georgia at Oklahoma State: Both teams need a win to make a statement that they intend to compete for the national title/their conference

September 5 - Virginia Tech vs Alabama: Could either of these teams play for the national championship?

September 12 - USC at Ohio State: Ohio State needs to gain back national respect and USC wants to show that they can compete for the national championship

September 26 - Cal at Oregon: Who will emerge as the one that will battle USC for the Pac 10 championship?

October 3 - USC at Cal: Important Pac 10 matchup

October 10 - Alabama at Ole Miss: Is Ole Miss really as good as they say they are?

October 10 - Florida at LSU: A matchup of perennial powerhouses, this game is very important for both teams as they look to win the SEC championship

October 17 - Oklahoma vs Texas: Perhaps THE biggest game of the year

October 31 - Texas at Oklahoma State: Can Zac Robinson get revenge against Texas?

November 7 - Ohio State at Penn State: This game probably will decide the Big Ten Championship

 

The Teams:

The Overrated:

Virginia Tech - I just don't see VT doing anything outside of winning the ACC (a weak conference) championship

Ole Miss - Good? Yes. SEC championship good? No.

Georgia - I just see this team being mediocre this year

Georgia Tech - Another mediocre team in my view

On The Edge (Teams that are on the edge of being great or just being good):

Penn State - Could be as good as winning the Big Ten and a BCS bowl or as bad as finishing second or third in the Big Ten

Oklahoma State - Could compete for the Big 12 title or just fade in behind Texas and Oklahoma

LSU - SEC title contender or just Capital One Bowl material?

California - I've seen them as high as #2 and as low as #20
