On tonight’s In The Bleachers Live, Adam Nettina and I will preview next week’s action as well as look at the games from the previous week. We will play stock-up and stock-down with teams, players, and coaches.

With conference play in full swing all around the country, we are in a treat with a lot of good games this week. Some of the games that we will be picking are Illinois at Penn State, Alabama at Georgia, Tennessee at Auburn, Maryland at Clemson, and Virginia Tech at Nebraska. There will be more so make sure you tune in to get the complete analysis of the games.

For the first time in quite a long time the Georgia Bulldogs will leave the south to travel to play Arizona State in the west. With Arizona State’s loss last week, some of the luster is off this game, but Georgia did not look spectacular in their win against South Carolina.

On tonight’s In The Bleachers Live, (which will take place at 9:30 tonight) I am joined by Adam Nettina again and we will talk a little about conference strength. Even with USC’s convincing win last week, the conference as a whole did not look good. Where as the Big 12 continues to look better and better each week.

Our games of the week are West Virginia @ Colorado, Arizona @ UCLA, Boise St @ Oregon, Florida @ Tennessee, Georgia @ Arizona St., Iowa @ Pitt, LSU @ Auburn, Vanderbilt @ Mississippi St, Va. Tech @ UNC, and Wake Forest @ Florida St.

One of those men will be smiling at the end of the night on Saturday, but the question is, which one? The Trojans are a hefty double-digit over the Buckeyes after they struggled last week against the Ohio Bobcats. A loss by Ohio State would end their BCS title hope essentially, because you are not going to find anyone giving them sympathy after losing two straight title games. But a win could be the momentum they need to win the Big Ten title a 3rd consecutive year.

On tonight’s In The Bleachers Live, I am joined by Adam Nettina and we will talk about last week’s action and look ahead to this week’s games. Lisa Horne of Foxsports.com and the Bleacher Report is scheduled to join us. She is well connected in Southern California and can give us the low down on the big game.

Our other games of the week are North Carolina at Rutgers, Auburn at Miss. St., Georgia at South Carolina, Georgia Tech at Va. Tech, Kansas at South Florida, Michigan at Notre Dame, Oregon at Purdue, UCLA at BYU, Wisconsin at Fresno St., and of course Ohio St. @ USC. A much better slate of games from last week.

Last week everyone was 0-0 and each team has dreams of BCS Championships dancing in their heads, but after Week 1 there are quite a few teams picking up the pieces from a disastrous start. On tonight’s In The Bleachers Live, I am joined by Adam Nettina and we will talk about last week’s action and preview the games for Week 2.

Fresh out of class at the University of Pittsburgh, Jeff Brancolini will be back to give the Chopshop version of Week 1.

It is time to lay it all out on the line. Everyone has had seven months to pore over magazines, internet sites, and blogs, so tonight on In The Bleachers Live is the night we make our bold predictions on what is going to happen in the 2008 College Football Season.

On tonight’s show each guest will pick the Conference Winners of the ACC (Coastal & Atlantic), SEC (East & West), Big Ten, Big East, Pac Ten, Big 12 (North & South), Heisman Champion, BCS Championship game and winner. I will tally all of these predictions and post them on the blog. At the end of the season we’ll find out who has the clearest crystal ball.

Tonight on In The Bleachers Live, I have four people coming on to talk about my favorite BCS Conference, the Big Ten. Ohio State is the clear cut favorite, but we will find out what other teams could surprise us and maybe upset the Buckeyes and their chance for a share of at least the last 4 Big Ten Titles.

My first guest Adam Jacobi from Black Heart Gold Pants will be joining me around 9:25pm EST. I will ask him where he comes up with all the great Joe Pa material he posts on the site, and if we have time talk about the Iowa Football.

At 9:40pm EST, Brian Cook from MGOBLOG will call in. Brian is one of the first bloggers on the interwebs, and most importantly a Michigan fan. We’ll find out all about their new offense and maybe find out if Penn State can actually beat Michigan this year and break a 11 year drought against the Wolverines.

Finally at 9:55pm Adam Nettina comes on to talk about his favorite BCS Conference. Adam writes at College Football News and is always a great guest when he comes on the show.

A night earlier than usual but tonight on In The Bleachers Live, I along with my three guests will take a look at the Big 12 Conference. Oklahoma and Missouri look to have a date in the Big 12 Title game, but I think teams like Texas, Texas Tech, and Kansas will have a say in the matter.

My first guest Big Head from MizzouRAH will be joining me around 9:10pm EST. We will talk about the Tigers’ chances not only in the Big 12, but in the BCS title picture. I am sure sometime during that time Big Head will profess his undying love for Chase Daniel.

At 9:25pm EST, a In The Bleachers Podcast veteran, Jon Johnston from Corn Nation will join me. We will talk a lot about how the Huskers will adjust with new head coach Bo Pelini, and what to look forward to from them this season. Plus we will also ask Jon about the book he co-authored called Sea of Red.

Not to totally ignore the Big 12 South, at 9:45pm EST, Peter Bean will join me from Burnt Orange Nation and the EDSBS Live podcast. I’d like to talk to Peter a bit about Colt McCoy and if the Longhorns fixed their issues in the secondary from last year.

Tonight on In The Bleachers Live we look at the ACC Conference. Rumor has it that Jeff Brancolini was kidnapped by a SEC Mascot and that is why he didn’t make the show last week. This week the Chopshop is back and he is going to construct a basketball team made up of ACC football players for each school.

Joining me at 9:20pm EST will be Michael Felder Jr from the Bleacher Report. Michael is a former Tar Heel player and the community leader at the Bleacher Report. We will talk about the Tar Heels and he’ll give me his take on who he thinks the teams to beat will be in the ACC.

At 9:40pm EST, ITB’s own Adam Nettina will come on to talk a little ACC football with me. Adam will be on the road in Buffalo covering their Media Day so I am sure we will talk to them to see how that is going and to see how Navy’s Media Day went last week.

In The Bleachers Live is back tonight after a week off. I will have three, with a possibility of a fourth guest along with our regular Jeff Brancolini and his Bologna Chopshop, to preview the SEC. I haven’t got word as to what the topic for the Chopshop will be this week, but if you’ve heard them before, you know it is always an interesting piece.

Joining me at 9:20pm EST will be Justin Hokanson. Justin is the Auburn Community leader over at the Bleacher Report. He and I will discuss the Tigers and their new spread offense. We will also touch on, who are the real contenders in the SEC West, and do they stand a chance against the East in the SEC Title game.

My next guest, joining me around 9:35 EST will be Joel Hollingsworth from the popular blog Rocky Top Talk. Joel started the College Football Blogger Awards and is a crack wiz when it comes to talking about Tennessee Football. We’ll discuss the Vols’ chances to unseat Georgia and Florida in the SEC East.

At 9:50pm EST, Spencer Hall from the ever so popular blog EDSBS, podcast EDSBS LIVE, and now the Sporting News will be joining me. My first beef with Mr. Hall is to find out what the heck I have to do to get on his blogroll and the blogpoll! Plus I’m sure he’ll tell us about all of the superpowers Tim Tebow unlocked this offseason.

Finally, if time permits and if he got my email, Adam Nettina will join me to talk some SEC and to tell us about his trip to Navy’s media day.
