2007 College Football Games of the Year
The 2007 College Football season schedules officially came out earlier this week, so now we'll take a look at the best of the best of all the games.
September 1
Tennessee at California
Tennessee at California
This game should be at least better than last years game with the Vols drubbing the Golden Bears. Both teams are heavy contenders to win their own conferences and are legitimate contenders for a BCS Bowl game as well.
Early Prediction: California
September 3
Florida St. at Clemson
Florida St. at Clemson
Bowden Bowl IX will take place on Labor Day Weekend. Tommy has handled his dad pretty well recently winning the last two and three of eight overall. This is a huge early game to get a jump start in the ACC and FSU cannot afford a loss here with their tough schedule as it is.
Early Prediction: Clemson
Early Prediction: Clemson
September 8
Virginia Tech at LSU
Virginia Tech at LSU
Two of the countries top defenses will meet at one of the most hostile environments on CBS. Both teams return a lot of talent; this should be a great game with players such as Matt Flynn, Jacob Hester, Early Doucet, Ali Highsmith of LSU and Sean Glennon, Branden Ore, Vince Hall and Xavier Adibi of V-Tech clashing on the field.
Early Prediction: LSU
September 15
Tennessee at Florida
This is definitely one of the greatest rivalries in College Football. It seems like the winner usually comes out as the SEC East Champ. I love the QB matchup here with Tim Tebow vs. Erik Ainge. The big thing for Florida is their inexperienced defense being able to handle the Vols' big WR's; the good thing for the Gators is that their playing in their backyard.

USC at Nebraska
This will be a little closer game than last year, I believe Nebraska will win the Big 12 North again and have a decent shot at a BCS Bowl bid. The Cornhuskers will be improved but USC is the pre-season national champion favorite. USC returns a lot and will have one of the best defenses in the country.
Early Prediction: USC
October 6
Florida at LSU
This will be one of the biggest games of the year and definitely the biggest in the SEC. Look for these two teams to both be ranked in the top 5 coming into this game. LSU looks to get revenge after the Gators embarrassed them last season at the Swamp.
Early Prediction: LSU
Early Prediction: LSU
Texas vs. Oklahoma
The Red River Shootout is always an intense and fierce game. Texas has won the last two over the Sooners; expect this to be one of the best of the last few seasons.
Early Prediction: Too close to call right now
Early Prediction: Too close to call right now
October 20
USC at Notre Dame
USC at Notre Dame
Remember the Bush push two years ago? This game should be similar to last years game in So. Cal, USC scoring at will and ND sucking it up and looking overrated. With Jimmy Clausen at QB the experienced USC D will tear him up. Even if this is a blowout it is still one of the biggest games of the year.
Early Prediction: USC
Early Prediction: USC
October 25
Boston College at V-Tech
These two teams always have great games against one another and don't be surprised to see these two teams in the ACC Championship either on Dec. 1.

October 27
Florida vs. Georgia
The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party should be a good one again. The two super sophomore QB's Tim Tebow and Matthew Stafford will be clashing again. Expect Florida to continue their dominance of this rivalry.
Early Prediction: Florida
November 3
Wisconsin at Ohio St.
Two early Big 10 favorites will meet at the Horseshoe as OSU tries to get back to the national title game. OSU won't be near the team they were last year but will be one of the top teams in the Big 10. In my opinion, Wisconsin is the Big 10 favorite and if both teams are undefeated come this date, this will be one of biggest games of the year.
Early Prediction: Ohio St.

Louisville at West Virginia
Both teams should be undefeated by this game and the winner could be in that BCS National Title Game. The best backfield in the nation will take on a very good L'Ville defense. I encourage you to mark this date on your calendar.

November 10
Michigan at Wisconsin
From my stand point, these two will be the top two teams in the Big 10. This is no doubt the Big 10 Game of the Year. The winner will play in the Rose Bowl and possibly the BCS National Championship Game.

UCLA at USC
This game will be huge because of last years game; could we possibly have the same scenario as last season?
Early Prediction: USC
What games are you looking forward to? Any big games I missed?

I'm really looking forward to Louisville/WVU... should be great again.
nice post. got me wishing for fall in the middle of July. I dont take any one team. i just LOVE college football. the more i watch it the less i enjoy the NFL.
Nice post Ming. Love your games and love your picks for the most part. I think teams who can really win the big games and win their conferences are: Texas, Wisconsin, USC, WVU, and LSU.
Maybe in a few years we'll see UND vs. NDSU on here? Now you've got me all excited for football season.
How about Washington vs. ohio State? OSU has a new QB, and UW was very competitive last season.
LSU and Michigan appear to be the teams that have schedules that will put them in the driver's seat for championship runs. LSU has V. Tech, So. Carolina, Florida, Auburn, and Arkansas all at home. The game at Alabama could be the key to their season. While Michigan has Oregon, Notre Dame, Penn State, and OSU all at home. Their key away game will be at Wisconsin. Florida also has an attractive home/away schedule but at LSU and at So. Carolina may be too much to ask for an inexperienced defense to get through unscathed. But the Gators get Tenn., Auburn and FSU at home. Oklahoma also has a nice home/away schedule; Miami, Texas, Texas A&M, Okie St. all at home and Texas Tech on the road.
those are definitely some of the biggest games of the year... i really think lsu/florida will be the game of the year
