"Rob Carraher's The Good Life: Everything Entertainment" Launch

This is a concept that I have tried in different forms. I have decided that I would stick to a general platform of ideas and opinions. I figure that "Everything Entertainment" can include just about anything that I might want to talk about. You are going to read about sports, music, movies, television, and maybe sometimes politics. I am not going to be picky about my subject matter. I just want to write, and share my ideas with you. As this is in a beginning stage of development, you may notice some major changes over the next few weeks/months. Eventually, I hope to launch my own website, where I can have complete control over what you see and read. So, in between school and work, you just might get to pick my brain a little bit. As I conceive more ideas, I will share them with you. Until then, please enjoy. Hit me up with any questions or suggestions that you might have in regards to the operation of my blog. So without further ado, I present to you "Rob Carraher's The Good Life: Everything Entertainment":

College Football kicks off tonight, and over the past week I have put together a few things. First off, I have formulated my "Power 12", which is a concept based upon a 12 team playoff system. Such a system is just a facet of my imagination, but something that I will use as I cover the season ahead. I will explain more about that another time. But for starters here is my preseason "Power 12":

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Oklahoma
4. Boise State
5. Florida
6. Nebraska
7. TCU
8. Iowa
9. Texas
10. Virginia Tech
11. Oregon
12. Pittsburgh

Update:
Power 12 Thursday Night Predictions-
Ohio State over Marshall
Pittsburgh over Utah

It is difficult to come up with a preseason ranking, but these are the 12 teams that I feel have the best opportunity to finish the season with the least amount of losses. We will see as the season unfolds how my projections hold up. But for now, this is where we are at.

In addition to my rankings, I am playing College Pick'em on ESPN. Here are my Week 1 picks:

ESPN - Based on games picked right and Confidence Points(CP)
CP Winner
10 Missouri over Illinois
09 Colorado over Colorado State
08 Notre Dame over Purdue
07 Michigan over Connecticut
06 Cincinnati over Fresno State
05 UCLA over Kansas State
04 TCU over Oregon State
03 LSU over North Carolina
02 Washington over BYU
01 Louisville over Kentucky

I am looking forward to an exciting season. I hope you are too. Let the games begin.
