Week 1 Predictions

Less than 24 hours until the Sycamores are cut down in Happy Valley!!

Anyone watching TCU v. Baylor tonight?  Baylor is taking it to them.  The Bears are up 34-23 with 2 mins left in the first half.  I guess TCU won't be as good as they were last year.  And TCU just got THE most generous spot on a 4th & 1 in Baylor territory.  And that spot just go overturned on review.... replay does work.

My Week 1 Predictions: 

Big Ten Action:

Michigan  v. Directional Michigan - Denard Robinson doesn't bother to even put shoe laces in and runs all over the Broncos. 43-31 Wolvernines. 

PSU v. Larry Bird University - Larry can't help the Sycamores.  PSU 38-13

Sparty v. Jim Tressell 1-AA - Sparty struggling in the first half, but will pull a full on Sparty in the second half and win this one 24-17

Tattooeyes v. Zips - OSU takes out their frustration (of losing their paychecks) on their little in state cousins... OSU 56-13

Northwestern v. BC - this may be the most entertaining game of the week.  Dan Persa is the real deal.  Wildcats 27 - Golden Eagles 24

TN Tech v. Iowa - Ferentz starts the annual Iowa hype machine by putting a whoopin on TN Tech, to be followed by a victory over PSU then a late season fade as usual for the Hawkeyes.  41 - 7 Hawkeyes.

Minny Golden Gophers v. USC Trojans - The Gophers show just how far Troy has fallen, but still can't pull it out ... Trojans 20 - Gophers 17

Mid Tennessee v. Purdue - Mid Tennessee... nominated for worst school nickname.  Boilermakers 27 - Blue Raiders  20

Ark State v. Illinois - Illinois starts off... mediocre as usual ... Fighting Illini 24 - Ark State 10

David Letterman U v. Bobby Knight U - Hoosiers start off big at home... 37 - 13

Top 25 Action:

Ducks v. Tigers - Chip Kelly reviews LSU game tapes he purchased from Nick Saban circa 2002, The Mad Hatter eats grass, and his players kick the Ducks in the head while they are down (this time on the field instead of outside a bar)....  Tigers 30 - Ducks 28

Broncos v. Bulldogs - Boise does what the Big Ten struggles mightily to do, beating an SEC team.  Boise 41 - Dawgs 31

Skip Holtz U v. Lou Holtz U - Brian Kelly unleashes his O and lights up the Bulls (are there any Bulls in Florida?  Can we do a list of the worst nicknames in college this year?)  Irish 48 - Bulls 28

Roll Tide v. Kent - 'Bama warms up with a sacrificial lamb before taking on a much much older sacrificial lamb next week... 38-0 'Bama

Utah State v. Auburn - we get to see just how much Auburn lost when Cam Newton took his paychecks to the NFL.  Auburn 21 - Aggies 14

Non-Sanctioned Miami v. Mizzou - Mizzou makes the Miami of Ohio wish they at least had a beach like their southern brothers of the same name.  Mizzou 30 - Miami-OH 17

App State v. Va Tech - Hokies start their early season fade... and get Michigan off the hook.  App State 27 - Tech 24

LA-Monroe v. Florida State - This isn't your Daddy's LA-Monroe.... it's more like your Great Uncle's former roommates...  'Noles 45 - Monroes 10

Chattanooga v. Nebraska - Huskers unleash the children of the corn.... 49 - 7 Huskers.

San Jose State v. Stanford - Andrew Luck kicks off his Heisman campaign by dominated the Spartans West - Andrew Luck 37 - Sparty West 7

LA-Lafayette v. OK State - Brandon Wheedon & Justion Blackmon kick off their Heisman campaigns by dominated the RAGIN!!! Cajuns.... 41-13 Cowboys

East Carolina v. South Carolina - Tx Tech East makes a game of it.... Marcus Lattimore kicks off his Heisman campaign a year early.  Gamecocks 31 - Pirates 28

Mizzou State v. Arkansas - The Razorbacks get through their scrimmage without any injuries.... Arkansas 45-17

Florida Atlantic v. Florida - What's with bad school nicknames in Florida?  The Owls are Gator food... 20 - 3

Tulsa v. Sooners - Tulsa's starting QB is academically ineligible.... Sooners offer their 3rd string QB just so their D can get some good reps.  Sooners 52 - Golden Hurricane 3 (Seriously... Golden Hurricane in Oklahoma?  Am I missing something or is that just awful?)

Marshall v. WVU - this was a close one last year.  Holgorsen kicks off his HC debut with a win over a hated rival... celebrates by getting loaded and kicked out of a casino.  Mountaineers 37 - Thundering Herd 17

SMU v. Texas A&M - A&M looking forward to joining the SEC and becoming completely irrelevant in Texas... SMU wishing they could join the SEC and show them what it means to really cheat in college football.   Mustangs 34 - Aggies 31

Games of Note:

Cheating Miami v. Maryland - Randy Edsall kicks his new gig off with a win... Al Golden can't believe he would have an easier time winning at Temple.  Terps 20 - Non-Golden Hurricanes 14

Upset of the week!!

Buffalo v. Pitt - just b/c I want to see Mark May's head explode a week before he gloats over 'Bama destroying Penn State

The Obvious upset of the week:

Richmond v. Duke - because this isn't basketball season
