np_husker Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 By Mark Schlabach ESPN.com The college football team fans love to hate? The discussion used to begin and end in South Bend. But Notre Dame's drop in the polls also has caused the Irish to drop in my rankings that are topped by college football's Public Enemy No. 1. 1. Ohio State Many college football fans are hoping they don't have to watch the Buckeyes lose in the BCS championship game again. Most of those same fans only wish their teams had gotten there the last two seasons. 2. USC No team has been as dominant during the last decade as the Trojans. A lot of fans wonder why the NCAA hasn't taken a closer look at how USC has done it. 3. Notre Dame The Fighting Irish used to own the top spot on this list. Notre Dame used to win a lot more games, too. 4. Florida The Gators don't get opposing fans' blood boiling as much as they used to -- like when former coach Steve Spurrier was taking jabs at many of his team's opponents. But many fans just can't believe quarterback Tim Tebow is really that good. 5. Oklahoma The Sooners might be Ohio State Lite. Bob Stoops keeps getting his teams to BCS bowl games, but somehow keeps losing them. 6. Michigan Add another fan base -- West Virginia -- to the growing allegiance of Wolverine haters. 7. Texas Fans who hate the Longhorns are more envious than anything else. Everything is bigger in Texas, including the recruiting base, coaching salaries and tradition. 8. Alabama Many college football fans are tired of hearing about Paul "Bear" Bryant. The Crimson Tide will never stop talking about him. 9. Miami Coach Randy Shannon has gone a long way in cleaning up the Hurricanes' off-field image. Unfortunately, there was two decades' worth of garbage to clean up. 10. Tennessee Unless you're a Volunteer fan, "Rocky Top" might sound like Sheryl Crow covering Guns N' Roses. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print?id=35...&type=story Quote Link to comment

huKSer Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 OSU - Love them if you are playing them for NC, hate them if you were ranked #3 -15 and would have done better. USC - Eh Notre Dumb - Still #1 (see this year's ESPN preseason rankings) UF - should be lower OU - Respect, don't hate yet love to beat. Meechigan - Notre Dumb lite, should be higher Texas - should be higher (buy a championship anyone?) Bama - drop off list Miami - agreed Tenn - annoying, not hated Replacements - Fresno "cheap shot" State for the opponents injured punt returners. Residual hate (see Miami) Other possibilities - Penn St. (for their uni's), Oregon (for their uni's) Regional bias: KSUcks Quote Link to comment

Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I actually don't mind "Rocky Top". It's "Boomer Sooner" that really drives me up the wall. Quote Link to comment

huskerjack23 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I hate Missouri. I think Pinkel needs to be punched in the face. Also, they haven't done a damn thing yet except beat us, a flukey Kansas team, and a 9 win Rose Bowl loser. Who cares? Quote Link to comment
