College football teams are wrapping up pre season games and are beginning final preparations for the first game of the season!
So what does that mean to you?
Why...it's time to get ready for the annual LegionWorld College Gameweek Extravaganza!
So, are you ready for another year of picking college football?

Every year I look forward to this thread! I'm so looking forward to this season. Even my wife is excited.
Tomorrow is a pre-Gameday (only an hour). All stocked up for big brunch and beers!

I expect Lady Cobalt to have her own picks this year so we can rub her better record in your face

Before we get started with this years games it is important to note that there have been some significant changes in the conferences. Four of the conferences enter this year with considerably different memberships: SEC, Big 12, Big East & MWC
Following are looks at the changes in each one.

This time around, the SEC started the realignment ball rolling by grabbing Texas A&M and (eventually) Missouri from the Big 12. A&M will play in the western division and Missouri is slotted into the east.

The Big 12 responded by plucking West Virginia and TCU from the Big East. (Actually, TCU had agreed to join the Big East, leaving behind the Mountain West, but decided to dump the Big East for the Big 12 before actually joining the Big East! Does it get any crazier?)

The Big East added Temple to its membership (after booting them out a few years ago!) to replace its loses this year but will see major changes next year. This year they'll look like this.

And finally the MWC added Boise State, Hawaii and Fresno to replace BYU and TCU (but will also face major changes next year.) For 2012 they will look like this.

This will be fun again this year. Going to try all kinds of odd ways to pick the games this year.

Glad to see you back for another round. Hope the rest of the gang shows up too.

And here we go! I'll pick later in the week but just in case I'll do Thur game now: Rick's Gamecocks (note plural ) should pull one out (groan, couldn't help it).
They look very good this year! Could be a banner year for the real USC.
(FYI, for Friday games I definitely have Michigan State who never let me down, but have to think about the other game some more).
