As the season is drawing ever closer. I decided to make my conference picks.
As you all know, I don't like to bet, but if I did, I would be a millionaire because these picks are freaking golden.
Kirk Herbstreit (aka The Viceroy of Cock) recently completed his list. I will not post a link to it however because the WWL will relentlessly hunt me down and kill all my future children. So I'll just tell you to go check it out. You know the address.
Here's the CORRECT picks:

The top 25 players: MAC
The MAC has always had some quality talent within their ranks. Ben Roethlisberger, Chester Taylor, Byron Leftwich, Chad Pennington, Randy Moss, Dwight Smith and Charlie Frye are just a few of the recent MAC players to get drafted into the NFL.
Here is my list of the top 25 players in the MAC this season. Don't be surprised if some of these players end up playing on Sundays.
1. Dan LeFevour - Central Michigan QB - LeFevour is the best dual threat QB in America outside of Tim Tebow. Some people are even calling LeFevour a dark horse candidate for the Heisman trophy this season.
2. Eugene Jarvis - Kent St. RB - Jarvis is the leading returning rusher in the nation. The Golden Flashes run the ball more than anyone else in the nation. That just means Jarvis will have ample opportunities to add onto his total this season.
3. Nate Davis - Ball St. QB - LeFevour might get all of the attention at CMU, but Nate Davis is probably the next great MAC QB to make it in the NFL. This guy is big and he has a big time arm.
4. Bryan Anderson - Central Michigan WR - When LeFevour doesn't run the ball, he often throws it to this guy. Anderson really had a breakout season last year. Anderson is helped out greatly by a tremendous Chippewa running game.
5. Dante Love - Ball St. WR - Love might actually end up with a better statistical season than Anderson at Central Michigan. That's because the Cardinals throw the ball early and often under Brady Hoke.
6. Larry English - Northern Illinois DL - The Huskies have fallen on tough time as of late. New HC Jerry Kill is hoping to infuse this team with some energy. One player he doesn't have to worry about is Larry English. English has a constant motor and is always making plays in the opponent's backfield.
7. Clayton Mullins - Miami(OH) LB - Mullins is an All-MAC LB at Miami. He leads a very stout Red Hawk defense that will need to carry the offense this season.
8. Darius Hill - Ball ST. TE - When QB Nate Davis isn't looking for Dante Love, his next option is usually Darius Hill. Hill is a big time target that has an NFL future.
9. Jamarko Simmons - Western Michigan WR - I remember watching Simmons shred the Florida St. defense 2 year ago. The Seminoles will be relieved to know that he does that to everybody.
10. Justin Anderson - Northern Illinois RB - Anderson is the latest in a long line of talented Husky RB's. Jerry Kill will look to use him more often than last season.
The rest:
11. Daniel Holtzclaw Eastern Michigan LB
12. Londen Fryar Western Michigan DB
13. Dave DiFranco Miami(OH) OL
14. Jeff Niedermier Buffalo OL
15. Barry Church Toledo DB
16. Robert Brewster Ball St. OL
17. John Haneline Bowling Green LB
18. Alex Derenthal Temple OL
19. Andre Neblett Temple DL
20. Davonte Shannon Buffalo DB
21. Almondo Sewell Akron DL
22. Andre Jones Akron WR
23. Ontario Sneed Central Michigan RB
24. Chris Miller Ball St. P
25. Jacob Richardson Miami(OH) P

Countdown: 73 Days!
73 Days
Temple showed some great signs of improvement last season in their first full year in the MAC. If the Owls can once again improve upon last year's record, look for head coach Al Golden to become a hot commodity on the coaching market next off-season. Perhaps Syracuse???Saturday, June 14, 2008
What is this, Arena Football??
College football uniforms are some of the more recognizable unis in all of sports. Lately, there has been a disturbing trend to trot out onto the field in complete ass ugly uniforms.
I have listed the ugliest uniforms in all of college football this season. As always my list is extremely biased, so if you don't like it, you should probably stop watching college football, because you are a moron.
The list is in no particular order, the unis are all equally bad.
Oregon's uniforms actually aren't that bad. I think they get more crap than they deserve from the media. I actually like the all white design in this pic. That being said, their bright yellow jerseys are disgusting and the rivets on the shoulder pads have got to go. Overall, this is a step up from previous Oregon designs.
Arizona St. has a horrible color scheme to deal with, so I can't expect much from them. Put a little devil with an over sized dome piece on the helmet? That's a little too much. I think they should just go for the cursive Devils script, that would be much nicer.
I used to like Wyoming's uniforms because I thought they were nice and simple. This all changed when they decided to outline the Cowboy decal with a neon yellow looking color. Why couldn't they just leave simple and plain alone?
I just really don't like the brown and orange color combo. There were plenty of nominees to make this list from the MAC, but I went with the Falcons because they got rid of the original corny Falcon decal for a simple B/G decal. Lame.
The Minnesota Golden Gophers don't just have a retarded nickname, they have some pretty bad uniforms. I really wanted to put a pick up of their mustard color unis, but it seems they have been banned from the Internet. I don't blame the Internet one bit.
When I first saw Southeastern Louisiana's uniforms on T.V., I thought someone was playing a joke on me. When I realized it was no joke, I then thought that perhaps I was watching JV girls football. To my surprise, I found out I was in fact watching real college football. I immediately doused my eyes with kerosene and lit them on fire.
When Temple recently decided to change their uniforms, it looked like they went to the local after school program for mentally challenged kids for it's design. I swear some of the Temple script decals look like they're crooked.
When was the last time lime green could be substituted for mean green? Perhaps North Texas is just warming us up for their upcoming nickname change. Introducing the North Texas Fighting Kiwis!
I would like to know which genius decided it would be cool to put eyeballs onto the side of a helmet. Apparently someone at Western Carolina thought this would be pretty intimidating, because that's exactly what they did.
If North Dakota St. had a better helmet decal, they probably wouldn't even make this list. If your nickname is the Bison, you could come up with way more kick-ass designs than a cartoonish looking Buffalo. Someone from NDSU must have previously worked in the NFL.
