The one and only reason I'll be glad to see the leaves change is knowing that another football season is among us. I'm kind of rediculous about college football and I'm not sure why because my college doesn't even have a team (yet), I've never played on a real team because I'm a girl, and I'm a Gamecocks fan which means it varies from year to year whether you can call that good football or not. I did wake up a bit happier this morning knowing that my team kicks off the season tonight at home against Southern Miss, a game we'll actually win. The thing I hate about college football has eternally been the way they decide the National Champion. You have to first of all start off ranked in the top 2 to even have a chance at it and they rely on all these different polls of people who vote because they think they know who the champion should be. As it turns out, the College Football Researcher's Association Poll has been added to the list of polls that the NCAA recognizes as legit and the people who vote on this poll actually have some legit-ness to who the college football national champion will be. A friend of a friend hooked me up and now I get to be one of the voters! Isn't that the nerdiest thing you've ever heard? I'm not saying I'm cool and that my vote is the deciding factor. It's just rad that I get to be a small part of the actual process that chooses the champion for college football. This is boring the crap out of some people so I'll stop. I just wanted to share in my excitement for football season and if you live in the south, I bet you're excited to watch your fave team on Saturday too.
