Sorry I missed week 1, been a hectic couple of weeks but I am alive!
Here's my predictions, share yours!
Top 25
#13 Louisville at Syracuse - oh hey, my old employer gets crushed by another team xD Go Cards.
Nich St at #9 UGA - Dawgs in a landslide but with a slow start
UCF at #5 Michigan - I want to say that UCF has a shot at the upset .. but after that atrocious season last year .. nope. Wolverines, easy.
Lamar at #6 Houston - Cougs making a solid push for the Big 12 lately! Easy win vs. Lamar to pen in another W
Central Michigan at #22 Okie State - Cowboys in a closer contest than you'd expect
Prairie View A&M at #20 TAMU - TAMU in a snoozer
Troy at #2 Clemson - Gotta root for Troy here but Clem runs away with it
Charleston Southern at #3 FSU - CSU is a great team and it would be awesome to see them contend. HOWEVER, reports are saying that 30+ players (!!!) are suspended for this game. So .. it looks like F$U has a yawner coming up.
Nevada at #18 Notre Dame - After a thrilling game vs. the Longhorns, the Domers start off slow but come out with the win
Tulsa at #4 Ohio State - Bucks
WKU at #1 BAMA - Duh but I predict WKU gets more points than USC
SMU at #23 Baylor - Bears
Akron at #10 Wisconsin - Badgers riding high after an exciting win in Green Bay .. Continue to win
Wofford at #19 Ole Miss - Anyone else read a (surprisingly) good B/R article on Wofford and other so-called cupcakes? I'll have to find the link again (someone emailed it to me). Anywho, Wofford hangs in there for a quarter but the Black Bears/Rebels/whatever the eff they are now run away
Idaho at #8 Washington - Thought I misread that at first lol #8 Wash? Nice. Huskies win
FAU at #25 Miami - I always forget FAU has a football team .. Hmm. Canes win.
UL Monroe at #14 Oklahoma - Rooting for an upset again!! But Sooners win it
Arkansas at #15 TCU - OK, I call this one for the Pigs.
UTEP at #11 Texas - Texas with a lazy win
Iowa State at #16 Iowa - ISU with the win in the Cy-Hawk matchup. Why? Rivalry magic.
Jacksonville State at #21 LSU - Calling JSU! They came so close last year to a major upset .. and I think they have come close in other years as well (albeit not as close as the scare vs. Auburn). They finally get their big win.
Virginia Tech at #17 Tennessee - Would love to get the media to shut up about the Vols .. They had a scare last week but I think Tech gets it done in Bristol
UVA at #24 Oregon - Big upset last week as the Cavs fell to the Spiders .. but UVA will fall to 0-2 with a loss to the Ducks
Other games of note
Penn State at Pitt - good to see the rivalry back up and running after a 10+ year absence. Hope Penn State takes Pitt to town.
Arkansas State at the Barn - GO ASU! Red wolves > Tiger eagles .. I hope :moon:
