toughest places to play
As many know NCAA 2005 will be released shortly and I'm getting very excited as it looks like another excellent game in the series. One of the big additions this year is the homefield advantage of certain teams. There will be a list of the top 25 toughest places to play. I definately think the shoe is the toughest place to play especially the last 2 years, undefeated at home and our crowd attendance and noise level is spectacular. Of course I'm biased but i've also been to the [censored] house up north and it doesnt compare. What do you guys think?

I trust that is Miami of Ohio not FL at #25... I think cryami's stadium is half filled for most games (not exactly a home field advantage)...

nope thats the thug stadium. the miami fans claim that winning should count and they are nearly unbeatable at home.
of course...this has nothing to do with their NFL calibre team that could win in my highschool stadium that seats about 500 people.
also, the hot weather is a factor.....apparently when miami has the ball it cools off?
edit: this is what [censored]es me off about miami fans. they think miami is the best in EVERY catagory of college football. i got banned at grassy because i tried to tell them miami isnt exactly a tradition rich scool.
