Countdown to kickoff begins

We’ve been making light of late of the amount of time until the 2011 season kicks off. Frankly, though, it’s no laughing matter.

The season begins Sept. 1 - and that is 106 days away.

That’s a long time to go without football. But fans suffer through it every year, so it can be done.

To help you pass the time, Rivals.com today starts its top 100 player countdown. In mid-June, we’ll begin our 1-120 team countdown. In mid-July, conference media days begin, and that’s also when we start our league countdowns. Finally, on Aug. 1, we will begin our more in-depth player and unit breakdowns.

It’s a long way until Sept. 1. We’ll try to make the long wait bearable.
