Title: What's right with college football? Start with neutral-site games Post by: ssmith general on August 25, 2011, 09:27:43 AM Quote BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- So much is wrong with college football lately that tests the faith of fans, who these days wait for conclusions in scandal after scandal. Let's pause for a moment and celebrate something worth cheering about: neutral-site games that, in our society of immediate gratifcation, generate instant excitement. In a perfect world, these attractive matchups would be played on campus, where college football belongs. But beggars can't be choosers. Without these made-for-TV, off-campus games, Lee Corso would spend Week 1 mulling whether to wear a Hurricanes or Terrapins helmet. Next week brings us No. 3 Oregon vs. No. 4 LSU in Dallas and No. 5 Boise State vs. No. 19 Georgia in Atlanta. The remaining Week 1 schedule "features" games you might find during bowl season at locales like Boise, El Paso and Birmingham: South Florida-Notre Dame, South Carolina-East Carolina, BYU-Ole Miss, Minnesota-USC and Maryland-Miami. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/08/whats_right_with_college_footb.html Title: Re: What's right with college football?

I think Bama has done pretty good. I can think of 4. We beat tOSU at the meadowlands in the 80's. Lost to FSU in 2007. Beat CLemson and Va Tech in ATL. 3-1. I feel certain there are more.
