DFC VIII Week One Games

It's time... here are the games for the first week of the 8th Season of the DFC... these eight games truly define the word "Crapshoot". Good luck.

All times CST, all ranks from USAToday Coaches Poll

THURSDAY NIGHT GAME
The Utah Utes at the Oregon State Beavers, 9pm
What better way to kick off the season than with a bunch of Mormons?

SATURDAY GAMES
Colorado State Rams at Colorado Buffs, 11am
I'm not sure the Buffalos have won much of anything the in the last few years

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Notre Dame Fightin' Irish, 230pm, NBC
Is Weis finally gonna take his Caths to the big time? Remember, last year, the Jackets took 'em to the edge

Ole Miss Runnin' Rebels at Memphis Tigers, 230pm
Good ol' down home southern football.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Boston College Eagles, 230pm
Why Wake Forest? Because they almost won the stinking conference last year!

Kansas State Wildcats at #18 Auburn Tigers, 645pm
Being ranked 18th mean that the Tigers will run the table again and get shut out of the BCS. Its when they are ranked 4th that they really suck

#15 Tennessee Volunteers at #12 Cal Bears, 7pm
Kudos to the few people who picked the Vols last year. Remember that kick in the pants?

MONDAY NIGHT GAME
#19 Florida State Seminoles at Clemson Tigers, 7pm, ESPN
Bowdoin Bowl... something. Does anyone keep up anymore?

TieBreak Game
Total points scored in the Tennessee/California game.

And finally...

The DFC Preseason Top Ten:
10... Big Eddy McBroom. Has the old man lost a step since his 60+ win-seasons early in his career? After a rebuilding year, look for him to bounce back

9... Tim Wasyluka. Perhaps the most consistant of the DFC not named Mark Gainey.

8... Mark "The Mighty" Gainey. This is the season where he "only" wins 58 games, not 60

7... Yours Truly. This is finally the year I come out from under Gainey's shadow

6... Jennifer Ernst. You can't be the all time winningest player in DFC history and not get some preseason respect

5... Matt Latta. Two times to the Deuce Bowl, two straight North Division titles. The Great Bear of the North has finally proven himself to be the Peyton to brother Scott's Eli.

4... Drew Morris. Also very consistant, and holder of the all time winningest playoff record. Actually, when you factor in playoff victories to regular season, he's 5th on the all time list.

3... Tebe Shaw. Third season in the league, proven to back up the smack he likes to talk, and so far, dominating over arch-rival Barnie

2... Tad "The Dynasty" Roose. Three DFC Championships. Thats all you have to say.

1... Gary "The Idol" Eubanks. Expect him to win it all this year.
