For those of you who don't know, CFN's Pete Fiutak writes a weekly article (Tuesday) chronicling the events occurring in college football. It is a great read, and I encourage everyone to check it out.
Enjoy!

In fact we get a shout out!
Sorry this column sucked, it wasn’t my fault … I don’t get four preseason tune-up games like the pros do, so I apologize for using week one like a light scrimmage, just like SMU is doing with Stephen F. Austin

I pulled the following from the same article, just for the General...I figure it'll do him good to get back to normalcy... :) I love the sarcasm in the article.

...2. The Big Ten even with its great records
Don’t be fooled. It’ll be easy to assume Penn State will deserve the high ranking it’ll get in mid-October helped by a non-conference schedule with Akron, Syracuse, Temple and Eastern Illinois. There’s a tough game at Illinois, and the Halloween game at Northwestern could be trickier than it appears, but the Nittany Lions will be favored in every game until the regular season ender at Michigan State.

Ohio State plays USC, and no one else. The toughest road game, until the November 7th date at Penn State, is at Purdue. Iowa’s toughest non-conference game is against Arizona at home, Michigan State goes to Notre Dame, but that’s it, while Wisconsin’s toughest non-conference game is at Hawaii. Northwestern’s non-conference schedule is Towson, Eastern Michigan, at Syracuse, and Miami University, Michigan hoses Notre Dame, along with Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, and Delaware State, and Indiana starts off the season against Eastern Kentucky, Western Michigan, and at Akron.

The Big Ten will come up with excellent records and will look great on paper, but it could quickly be exposed in the bowl games...
