Ingram is out with knee surgery, no date has been set for when he comes back! Huge loss for Alabama!

Oregon to win Pac-10 and whatever bowl game we get sent to. DT is here college football world, everyone better watch the fuck out. Not to mention we have arguably the most exciting player in all of the land with LaMichael James. It's going to be a great football season in Eugene this season!

haha not in a national sense. but big for duke, is just getting into a bowl game, which they haven't done in a LONG time, and should be able to do this year. Unfortunately they still play in the much harder division of the ACC, so they'll probably finish 4 or 5 in the division. Which isn't bad considering the talent in the division.

word. If they played in the Atlantic division the only blips on their radar would be Clemson and Florida State to an extent. Speaking of ACC, I'm expecting Jacory Harris to have a monster year.

go Ducks!

I'm an Oregon fan/student, so I have pretty high expectations for this year too.

Praying the suspensions for UNC aren't gonna be too bad, we got 6 players out for the LSU game include Robert Quinn

But I'm still kinda optimistic, top 20 for the first time in a while.

How: ESPN America shows most of the games.

Why: I'm a big American football fan so I decided to follow the college season this year. No reason why I'm a UNC fan, just recognise their long basketball heritage and decided to follow their football team too.

How is American football perceived across the pond? Is it mainly looked down upon because of the pads and helmet?

People find American Football not only confusing but they play it down in comparison to rugby. I would probably say they're similar in danger, 'cause whilst rugby is more head-on violent (and the lack of protection is a massive issue, I play rugby and regularly get bitten, punched, stamped on etc, it's a violent, dangerous and painful game), the hits in football are probably harder because the players are bigger and faster (harder, definitely not in my opinion), but they do have pads and what not. As a fanbase, the NFL will grow over here, but playing won't grow most likely.

I know you're not speaking to me but imo it's not really looked down upon, it's just that most people don't really acknowledge or care about it tbh.

Edit: To the guy above Mr Orange.

Yeah I always thought the Brits had more respect for rugby than American football. It's funny, you say the NFL has potential to have more fans in the UK, while attention to the Premier League seems to be growing year after year here in the States. And sjem yeah I get that too, is it like how no one outside of Australia really cares for their brand of football?

Oregon doin' work today. Sure it's just New Mexico, but damn

. Our running core will be one of the best in the country this year.

I mean, I suppose there are more people getting interested in it now over here what with the Wembley game each year and all that but I still think the majority of people who follow that are either already fans or just people who got a ticket to the game off of a "client" or something. Saying that though a lot of my friends usually watch at least some of the superbowl but that's it.

Personally I try to watch as many games as I can during the season and definitely the superbowl/playoffs but I don't really follow during the offseason or college football or anything like that.

I know that being quite a big fan and one of the only ones (got a few people into it) who is, people just dismiss it as a shit version of rugby (I go to a school that hates football/soccer and rugby is the main boys sport) so I suppose I haven't got a really representative view. A lot of people will watch bits of the Superbowl but not a whole game because it's too stop start.

AFL is just too confusing for me, I know a few Aussies that like it but it's not even like there's a video game you can play to help you understand it (when I first got into football Madden helped). I have watched it but it is pretty mental and confusing, I don't really understand what I'm watching haha.
