I agree with you phillygator about the title game(s) they tend to hurt the conferences that have them more than help. A playoff would be nice but the bowls are big money and maney talks...

OSU and PSU did have good seasons last year but OSU did lose to Texas at home and this year they visit Austin, should be a really good game. Who can't root for Joe Pa, I just think he'll have a hard time equalling last season (but I hope he can). OU's big question will be at QB as will UT's. 7 National Championships hardly qualifies as a choker.

I think the course was great (as apparently did the players) and I think Tiger was better, he had a winning strategy and the ability to execute it. As alifelong fan of Jack I hate to say this but I think Tiger may be the best ever.

I won't argue that the Big 12 is the number one conference but I feel you are vastly underating it. The conference has two legitimate pre-season top 10 ten teams in UT and OU. Nebraska is not yet where they want to be but definitly at top 20 team on the way up. Texas Tech will also be a top 20 team again. Texas A&M, KSU and KU could all make good showings. I will agree that the non-conference schedules of many of the teams is pathetic. I would rate this the third or fourth strongest conference. And lets not forget which conference produced the undisputed national champion last year.

Freddy is not the next Pele but better coaching could certainly make him a better player.

This is a difficult one to handicap but I'll go with a bit of a long shot; Paul Casey.

I think the injury is bothering her too much for her to pull this one out. Should be fun to watch with so many stars now. I'm thinking this may be the time Wie finally breaks through. But Ochoa, Webb, Sorenstam and the Koreans will all be strong contenders!
