Ohio State - OSU starts the season ranked #2 and have a very high rated offense and defense. Early season Non-conference game versus Miami will be the biggest challenge of the season, getting threw that game could enable them to run the table and get to the BCS title game. For conference games, @Wisconsin and @Iowa could be possible games to watch for Ohio state.
Texas - Texas starts the season ranked #3, but will have to 'break in' a new Quarterback this season. Texas' non-conference game does not look to be tough, but their early Big XII games could be the most trouble. Traveling to Lubbock week 3 to face Texas Tech, then 2 weeks later facing OU in the Red River Rivalry. The week after the RRR, Texas has to Travel to Lincoln to face Nebraska.
Virginia Tech - Virginia Tech starts the season ranked #7 and has a favorable schedule. They do start the season playing Boise State, but only having 4 away game gives them a good advantage. Late in the season they have to play @ North Carolina and @Miami(FL).
Big Head-to-Head User Match-ups
Week 6, Texas @ Nebraska - huge Big XII match-up that could give the winner a boost to the top in the top 25. It's possible these 2 will meet up once again in the Big XII Championship game.
Week 9, Florida vs. Georgia *neutral site game* - This game could very likely determine the SEC East and potentially the SEC championship.
Week 13, Florida @ Florida State - Big in-state rivalry that could have some National Championship implications if both teams can survive their own conference play.
Big 12 South - Texas-Texas Tech-Baylor 3-way rivalry, both Texas Tech and Baylor have a chance to ruin Texas' hopes of a National Title. Texas Tech gets Texas at home, while Baylor has to go to Austin.

The Big 12 is gonna be exciting for sure. Dan and I will both be loaded. Jess at Baylor will be interesting. And, of course, with the much improved screens and draws, Chad will be deadly at Texas Tech.

It hurts! Damnit it hurt then, and it still does now.
That's it. I want you and your triple option attack with or without Tommie Frazier. I'll travel to Lincoln in 2011 and you can come to The Swamp in 2012.
Yeah, this isn't Urban Meyer's Gators! We are going to leave the state of Florida to play some football. I'll bring my mighty Gators in our storm trooper whites and bring the pain with the Sea of Red watching it all unfold.
