Great Week 1 Games/Prediction Thread

Well, I don't know much about Alabama's upcoming roster but where did your loaded receivers come from?

Ardarius Stewart and Robert Foster. Both had over 100 yards recieving in the Spring game. Add that to former 5 star Chris Black and Incoming 5 star Calvin Ridley. Our reciever group as a whole is better than last years.

Fair enough. Was just looking at losing your #1 and #2 from last year. Although maybe it made easier for teams being so top heavy with Cooper.

I think Losing Cooper actually will make our offense better this year. We will be way more balanced instead of constantly trying to force the ball to him.

Im telling you this Bama team is loaded. It will be Bama/tOSU in the Natty this year.

A rematch of Ohio State and Bama for all the marbles would be epic. Espn would just record the phrase Meyer versus Saban and put it on repeat for a week.

I have a feeling Nebraska is going to win in pretty impressive fashion. It's gonna be one of those electric environments and the fans and players will all be believing in something new.

Something like 41-24 Nebraska

After that game I think Nebraska comes back down to Earth

Does any other team want some of tOSU's weapons. They have too many Jk, you can never have enough!

Michigan @ Utah (This could be ugly. I think Utah has a pretty solid team returning)
Washington @ Boise
Wisconsin vs. Alabama (I can't pick against Alabama. Too much talent)
Louisville vs Auburn (I think Muschamp will likely create a dominating defense in a short time)
Arizona State vs aTm
Texas @ Notre Dame (Texas still has a year or two before they become dangerous IMO)
BYU @ Nebraska
Ohio State @ Virginia Tech (I chose VaTech only because I hate OSU. I'd cheer against them even if they were on the verge of curing cancer)

Michigan* @ Utah

Wisconsin* vs. Alabama
Louisville vs Auburn
Arizona State vs aTm
Texas @ Notre Dame*
BYU @ Nebraska
Ohio State* @ Virginia Tech

Notes: Post any I missed.

Michigan won't be ready with new coach and new system.
Same with Nebraska.
Wisconsin just a feeling, new coach but better than michigan and nebraska
Texas still wont have a QB good enough, to beat ND @ ND
No way Ohio State folds 2 years in a row.
Boise has to win this game or they fall off the map completely.

South Carolina vs North Carolina
TCU @ Minnestoa
Stanford @ Northwestern
Maybe not great but maybe decent

lulz

'At best' Nebraska wins an ugly one. 20-17 or something like that.

This might be the first sub 9 win season since 2007. It's Oregon St's staff, with just a slight bit more talent to work with, and an entirely new system installed.

I don't recall Nebraska ever losing to a mid-major. This could be the one.

The Vols will triumph over BGU?

I'm not sure why you think the Utah game "could be ugly"? Michigan returns a solid defense and kept our defensive coordinator on staff and added like 3 NFL coaches to the defense.

Additionally, it's not like Utah was some offensive super power last year. They didn't finish in the top 40 in any major offensive statistic. As bad as we were, we only lost to them 26-10. Mostly thanks to Gardner's 3 INTs.

+Harbugh. We have Harbaugh now, not Hoke. I expect to win this game as we should out-talent Utah by quite a bit.

I would take Texas. I don't trust Notre Dame's defense.
