Vote: Non-Conference Games



Is Ohio State's trip to Southern Cal the most anticipated game of 2008?
Each season, the powers that be offer college football fans tasty non-conference matchups to enjoy. With the exception of the bowl season, these non-conference games provide fans with the rare opportunity to gage the strength of their favorite team's conference and talk a little smack.
