Says InGameNow user echinsuocha1, "I haven't been this happy in a while. If you don't live college football you are a terrorist." While this may have gone a little too far, the implied sentiment is engrained in all American hearts - FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE! Now let's hear the users picks: milehighsalute - Northeastern at Ball State - I will have to take the Cardinals here behind Nate Davis at quarterback. This is Nate's 3rd year starting, and besides, it is easy picking the team with the winning record last year! For picks through the link!

Led by quarterback Rusty Smith, the Owls are on the rise. The conference used to belong to Troy, but the team may struggle finding a quarterback to replace the departed Omar Haugabook. Louisiana-Monroe made some noise a year ago by beating Alabama. But like Troy, this team must replace an important part of its offense, running back Calvin Dawson. Both Middle Tennessee State and Arkansas State finished 5-7 last year. At the bottom of the weakest conference in the F.B.S. is Florida International, 1-23 over the past two seasons. PLAYERS YOU SHOULD KNOW Louisiana-Lafayette running back Tyrell Fenroy is the 15th player in N.C.A.A. history, and the first in the Sun Belt, to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons. North Texas receiver Casey Fitzgerald excelled in Coach Todd Dodge's spread offense, setting program records in receptions (111), receiving yards (1,322) and touchdown catches (12).

At least once a season a small time school busts onto the scene in a big way. They disrupt the college football landscape. Band wagoners come out of the wood-work and buy up every available jersey and hat they can buy. So who is it going to be this year?
