College Football: 2008's Must-See College Football Games

With less than 100 days before the start of the 2008 college football season, stadiums are selling out and hotels are being booked as fans prepare for the biggest games of the year.

Over the next ten weeks I will be ranking the top ten must-see games of this college football season.  I will also be giving my predictions on who will win.  There are teams from every major conference.
