College football has arrived and there isn't a lack of story lines this upcoming season. From the reshaping of the Big Ten and Pac-10 to the possible BCS championship busters of Boise State and TCU. This season is shaping out to be one that shouldn't be missed.
Two games that I'll be watching today is Utah vs Pitt and Hawaii vs USC. The Utes and Pitt game could have an impact on TCU and their bid for a BCS bowl and possibly the championship game if they go undefeated. These types (nonBCS vs BCS) of games are important because they could shape the medias opinion of the strenght of a teams schedule. If the Utes win it would be a feather in the cap of the Mountain West Coference and gives TCU levearge if they and Boise were to go undefeated. I have a feeling, with Utah moving to the Pac-10 that they'll come out fired up to prove that they deserve to play with the big boys in a BCS conference. This game could end up being a low scoring, hard hitting figth to the finish.
In the late game today, Hawaii will face USC, which if history holds true, will end in a route. Like a true Warrior fan, I hold out hope that the Trojans won't be playing their "A" game since they have little to play for this year. If Hawaii hopes to win they'll have to throw the first punch and get off to a quick start. If not, Hawaii will be left in the dust once again.
