I can not believe we have once again reached the absolute best time of the year. When I was a kid, this was the worst time of the year, but over the years has become my unparalleled favorite. Footballs back, the weather is getting set to cool down, Halloween Horror Nights is approaching, and all sorts of pumpkin flavored treats and goodies are making their way into stores. Horror movies will be a popular option on several TV channels, and an added bonus this year, the Red Sox are in first place, a game up on the Rays heading into the final 30 games of the year. So many reasons why this is the greatest time of the year. For this post though, we will focus on the college football aspect, just as last year I will pick every Big Ten game, and a few other of the top games around college football. Of course the first three or four weeks in the Big Ten are usually not so exciting as most schools are playing cupcakes as they gear up for conference season, but that doesnt mean we cant have fun anyways. Heres to another great season!
