Florida St. back to their heyday, Tennessee in the SEC and Iowa in the Big 10 have been the teams that I had a soft spot for.

Forgot to add ASU. Old conference rival, and along with the Pokes, dominated the early WAC. Plus, up until this year, Sparky on the side of their helmets was one of my favorites in college ball. Kind of reminded me of having Steamboat on our helmets.

Florida has been my school since Fred Taylor graduated. He was the reason I became a Jaguars fan as well. People were in shock and awe at my dorm room. Gators stuff from wall to wall. 3 authentic jerseys, lights, flags, carpet, pretty much anything you can imagine. I have a 3' x 5' etched and led lighted piece of glass on the way for my apartment. Even got myself a Florida snuggie haha :P

1. Any team west of the Mississippi over a team east of the Mississippi.

2. Any Non-AQ team over a BCS team.

3. If I have to pick a SEC team...South Carolina (relatives nearby), ACC Virginia Tech, Big East no one they all suck, Big 10 Nebraska or Iowa, Big 12 Missouri, Pac-12 no one they all are just a little less sucky than teams east of the Mississippi.

Arizona State.
Is Osweiler going to start this year?
If I was a betting man, I would wager so. Was told he was "up to" 240 now (at 6'8" that is a big dude). I can't believe Dennis hasn't gotten it done there. Other than his first year there (10-3), he hasn't done squat the last 3. This could be his final year. Talk about underachievers.
Dear Karma,

I have a list of people you missed...

Osweiler is a giant. UM wanted him badly (being a local kid), but there was no way he was going to play FCS ball.. especially with an offer from ASU (and the tail that hangs around that university).

I'm a Navy vet... I always root for Navy unless they're playing the Pokes. Army and Air Force on next on my list. Not necessarily in that order, but maybe in that order. From there, it's usually a non-BCS team over a BCS when they match up.

I cheer for Wyoming, but if I have to pick ONE school to cheer for that benefits from the evil monopoly it would be the Sooners.
I hate OU with an extreme passion almost as badly as BYU! They cheat and they get away it! Plus OU's fans as just arrogant as the BU ones!
Wyokie is exactly right. Come to Oklahoma for awhile and the difference between OU and OSU fans is night and day. The OU fans down here have made me hate the OU Cheaters almost as much as the Gators.
My favorite teams are/were Florida State and Ohio State.

Is this a trick question? Outside of games the 'Pokes are playing, I'm just rooting for good football.
