Week 3 of 2008-09 NCAA College Football Season

2008-09 NCAA College Football Season continues on Week 3 starting Thursday night when North Carolina Tar Heels visit the winless Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

North Carolina won their first game beating McNeese State 35-27; they will try to carry the momentum going up against the hungry Rutgers Scarlet Knights. The Knights got clobbered in their first game against Fresno State losing 7-24.

Friday’s game features the game between 14th seed Kansas Jayhawks and the 17th seed South Florida Bulls. Both teams are starting 2008-09 NCAA College Football with a strong campaign winning both their two games. Kansas Jayhawks blanked the Lousiana Tech 29-0 while South Florida whipped UCF Knights 31-24.

This will be an exciting match and looking forward for the three game winning streaks our pick would go on the Kansas Jayhawks winning by at least seven points.

Week 3 of the 2008-09 NCAA College Football kicks off Saturday with Georgia Bulldogs visiting the South Carolina Gamecocks. Problems continue to arise on the side of the Bulldogs, aside from not being chosen as the No. 1 in the coaches’ poll, injury struck senior defensive tackle Jeff Owens. Depth has become the biggest issue for the Bulldogs, who face a brutal schedule as they will face the South Carolina Gamecock, who has a 1-1 win loss mark. Our pick for this game – Bulldogs by slimmest of margin.

UCLA Bruins led by their head coach Rick Neuheisel could not asked for more as the UCLA beat no. 18 Tennessee 27-24 in a wild season opener. They will face the BYU Cougars who also won their first two assignments with the last one against Washington.

Number one seed USC Trojans faces one of their toughest tasks early in the season as they battle 3rd seed Ohio State Buckeyes. USC’s 52-7 win over Virginia paved the way to experiment on his team. He got to use three different quarterbacks. Six different running backs carried the ball.And, more than a handful of Trojans were able to make their debuts.According to the participation reports, and eight different true freshmen took the field for the Trojans, getting their first taste of collegiate competition. But this won’t probably happen as they will face Ohio State Buckeyes, who has a 2-0 mark. Our pick for this game – USC Trojans cover the spread by a field goal.

Next up is the game between Wisconsin Badgers and Fresno State Bulldogs. Badgers dismantled their previous opponent Marshall 51-14 while Fresno State won over Rutgers 24-7. Our pick for this game would be the Badgers winning by three touchdowns.

Washington Huskies would like to join the winning column as they play the blazing Oklahoma Broyles who have all of their assignment in the early season of the 2008-09 NCAA College Football.

USC Trojans favorites to win the2008-09 BCS National Championship

The 2008-09 NCAA College Football season is fast approaching and with that said the same goes for the BCS National Championship Game.

Last year the LSU Tigers mauled the Ohio State Buckeyes in the National Championship game to claim another national title. Can the Tigers roar again, or will the Buckeyes make another run at the championship that has just eluded them the last two seasons?

Looking at the present roster these two teams have neither school will be the best in the nation this season. That honor goes to the USC Trojans, who have been anointed as the BCS National Championship favorites. The last time the USC Trojans captured the BCS National Championship was when Matthew Stephen Leinart played and led the Trojans to an AP national championship in 2003, a BCS national championship in 2004, and an appearance in the 2005 BCS national championship game.

USC Trojans favorites to win BCS National Championship

The Trojans may have lost starting quarterback John David Booty to the NFL, but backup Mark Sanchez looks primed and ready to take over after successfully filling in for Booty when he was injured last season. The USC defense has once again been given the moniker “best defense in the nation” by many observers, and if they can live up to the billing the offense should have plenty of time to gel behind Sanchez. It’s no surprise that USC is once again a heavy favorite to win the BCS National Championship Game given their immense talent and schedule. Playing the Pac 10 awards the Trojans arguably an easier road than those programs that have to battle the rigorous SEC. USC also boasts one of the best defenses, lead by defensive tackle Fili Moala and linebackers Rey Maualuga and Brian Cushing.

If the Trojans don’t return to the top of the college football ranks there’s a good chance the Florida Gators will. The Gators clock in right behind the Trojans. Two years ago the Gators took home a national title and they could add another this season behind what should be a lethal offense. Led by Heisman Trophy-winning QB Tim Tebow and dangerous receiver Percy Harvin, the Gators should put a ton of points on the board. The Gators’ only problem could be their defense, which needs to come together quickly to pull their weight alongside Florida’s high-octane offense.

Taking the third spot is the Oklahoma Sooners. In his first season as starting quarterback Sam Bradford put up some solid numbers, and with an excellent offensive line in front of him and a year of experience under his belt he should be even better this year. Running back DeMarco Murray was also better than expected as a freshman last year, and if he continues to improve the Sooners’ offense should be hard to stop.
