History is being made tonight, in many ways. Us college football fans are sometimes accused of wearing blinders and tonight is no different. It's opening night for college football 2008 and a certain Senator from Illinois is formally set to accept his party's nomination for President on the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" address.

We can't compete.

However, we've got a job to do and its a job we love on a very big night for us as well. Barack Obama's getting the TIVO treatment in my house as we at FanHouse discuss tonight's two headline games: North Carolina State @ South Carolina (8 p.m. Eastern) and Oregon State @ Stanford (9 p.m. Eastern). There's also a smattering of other teams we'll be keeping an eye on -- Miami, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, Connecticut, Iowa State, Wake Forest and Baylor among them.

Be sure to join us in the chat, starting at 7:45 p.m. Eastern (after the jump)
