Welcome to the college football thread for the 2017-2018 season! If you're unfamiliar, college football is one of America's most popular, and perhaps, most ridiculous sports.
In that vein, let's first give a hearty "welcome back!" to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers!
And now, once again it's time for some awkwardly-sized photos of teams that I've heard will be good this year!
JT BARRET, now in his 111th year of eligibility!
The WASHINGTON HUSKIES! (And yes, that pup's name is DUBS.)
Is that a non-contact a or hot new green alternate jersey for FLORIDA STATE? You decide!
EIGHT-BALL THE TIGER wasn't seen for 3 weeks after CLEMSON won the national title last season, but after authorities found him a tub filled with ice in San Pedro Sula he's back and he's clean (TOTALLY FOR REAL THIS TIME YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!)

He was only the runner-up last year, but don't feel bad for this man, he's won four of he last eight national titles at the helm of the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE.
Okay, that's done. So now, I have an assignment for you, first page of this thread. Which September game will turn out to be this year's version of Michigan State vs. Notre Dame?
These teams went on to go 3-9 and 4-8!
Outside of that, yes, the pick 'em will return! I'll make a formal post about that as we get closer to the season.
