The Best College Football Weekend?

September 11th will always be a day that we will never forget. However this year it could be really special if you’re a college football fan.

The second Saturday in the college football season is stuffed full of premier games. In-conference and out-of-conference matchups take place all day long, meaning fans will be able to watch great college football from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at night.

Below I have broken down what could be the best weekend of the season.

Is expansion over?

Conference alignment has plagued college football for the past week and a half. The Big 12, almost folded in the matter of a couple days, and other conferences took advantage. Then Texas decided to stay put and keep the Big 12 alive.

However, is conference alignment really done? Are more changes in the near future?

Let’s explore conference by conference, what could and should happen…

25. Navy

Andrew Ivins kicks off his 2010 preseason rankings today. Check back every weekday until he gets to number 1.

Navy enters the 2010 season under many people’s radars, but let me throw some numbers at you...

Head coach Ken Niumatalolo (18-10 in his career) returns seven starters to an offense that finished 4th in the nation in total rushing. A young defense returns six starters and its entire secondary, to a team that finished 34th last year in total defense.

Navy scored an average of 28 points last season, while only giving up 19 points a game, good enough for 19th in the nation. The reason to this might be because the opposing team hardly got the ball. The Midshipmen had the 2nd best time of possession and a plus 9 turnover margin.

Niumatalolo’s 2009 team finished with a 10-4 record and its seven straight bowl appearance, a 35-13 win over Missouri. Many parts are in place for another run to a post season bowl, but could Navy bust the BCS?

Texas to the South Western-16?

The PAC-10 wants to invite Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado to the conference, raising the number of teams to sixteen.

Could this be the start of the mega conferences?

Just ask the University of Texas, they seem to be the ones in charge of the situation.

What should the Mountain West do?

Rumor has that Boise State will be officially invited to the Mountain West Conference in the next couple of days, and this couldn’t be better news for non-BCS supporters.

The Mountain West has decided to make itself a better conference, and in the process should be the first conference to add a university in years.

Boise State brings everything the Mountain West needs.

How good is FIU's Garret Wittles?

A couple of weekends ago, I covered the Florida Atlantic-Florida International baseball series, and I saw history in the making.

FIU’s Garrett Wittels extended his hit streak to 48-games with a hit, good enough to move him to second on the all time list of college baseball hit streaks.

Wittles has had a hit in every game this season he has played in, and for one thing, there not little bloopers.
