Every week T-Roc will share his thoughts on what is going on in college football, make picks and fire back at your nasty comments. Want to learn more about him, check out his first post or visit his archive.

Newspaper stands and the interwebs are jammed with previews, so I’ll skip the “Here’s my Top 10″ shit. Yeah, I think Florida, Texas, USC and Oklahoma are the four strongest teams in the country. Big fucking surprise.

I’m just a fan. And if you don’t dig college football, I don’t know what your fucking problem is. I love college football more than hockey and I’m Canadian, for Christ’s sake. So here’s a prediction-free preseason top 10, from one fan to (hopefully) another.

Top 10 reasons my dick is stiff for college ball:

1. Early non-conference games. Oregon at Boise State. Alabama at Virginia Tech. Georgia at Oklahoma State. That’s only the first weekend. I just jizzed in my pants.

2. College Game Day. I know, ESPN’s a monolith to be feared, blah blah blah. Whatever. Big & Rich (and Cowboy Troy) tell me they’re coming to my city and I know the next 12 hours are going to kick ass.

3. The absence of playoffs. You wanna win the national title? Then don’t treat early games like a warmup, cockbreath.

4. Producers that have a clue. I wasn’t in TV for long, but I learned two things - pictures sell the show and too much talking makes people turn the channel. That’s why Lane Kiffin’s wife will get more camera time than Lane Kiffin this season.

5. Upsets. Love ‘em. Stanford over USC two years ago, Iowa over Penn State last year, goddam. Life could hardly be better than watching a title contender lose to a 20-point underdog. Speaking of which…

6. Gambling. Yeah, I said it. Don’t like it? Fuck you.

7. Student life. I try not to dote on regrets, but if I could do it all over, I’d skip the tiny, liberal-arts university experience and do my undergrad at a football school. Arizona State, for example, looks like a bit of fun. Sigh.

8. Rivalry games. An obvious one, but the Red River Shootout, the Cocktail Party, the Iron Bowl and Army vs. Navy are the first games I look for when schedules are announced. Note to friends - don’t book weddings for any of those days.

9. Thursday night games. I know - another ESPN promo. Forgive me. But it’s like the unofficial kickoff for the weekend. And Erin Andrews is a helluva journalist.

10. Cheerleaders and dance teams. No shit. Scantily-clad, athletic 18-to-23-year old chicks bouncing around in front of the camera. It’s like The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll, only meaningful.
