After this weekend the big picture for the rest of the season became a little clearer...and we realized that everything we thought we knew about college football was pretty much wrong. I thought it would be kinda funny to take a look at what we assumed we'd be looking forward to this season in each conference and what we'll really be tuning in for. In a season where Miami-FSU, USC-Cal and Texas-Oklahoma had or will have minimal impact on the national title picture, its amazing what we've traded them in for.
Note - I'm not counting conference championship games.
