College Football

Here is a list, in no particular order, of who I want to win and who I want to lose in college football:

WIN
Michigan
Big 10 (a conference with a good rep can only help M)
Teams on Michigan's schedule (strength of schedule)
MAC teams (connections all around, a lot of Big Ten teams play these schools)
Texas (nostalgia to the town, friend is alum)
Underdogs
Pac 10 (I still think there's a connection between Big 10 and Pac 10 and these two conferences who want to keep college football the way it used to be)
LSU (I have a fondness for Les and his purple tie)

LOSE
SEC teams (the best conference in the nation needs to be knocked down a few notches)
Notre Dame (because they are Notre Dame)
Favorites
Teams ranked higher than Michigan (hopefully this means something by the end of the year)
Top WAC/Mountain West teams (though I think they probably deserve a chance to play in BCS games, I don't really want them to; sorry, Dave)
Big East/ACC teams (we don't need these conferences jumping the Big Ten in respectability)
Nebraska/Oklahoma (because they cheat and because the M/OSU rivalry is supposed to be the big game
FSU/Miami (because they cheat. At least they did in the 80s.)
Sullivan/Altese Cup Holder (it is fun when the cup moves around)

Of course there are contradictions.
