Looks like the only upsets you have is SMU over Baylor, Ga Tech over V Tech and just spotted Ky over Louisville. Disagree with all. Oregon and Arky St looks a little close. Danny Sheridan has the O/U on South Carolina and Vandy at 29. Boise-Mich St very hard to figure. I like Clemson to beat Auburn. Nebraska should win by more than 7.

I think you've got a good handle on the picks. Biggest possible upset I can see is Michigan over Alabama. Not saying it will happen, but it could.

good picks sir

I don't see most of the upsets you picked happening

Virginia Tech will have an advantage due to having extra time to prepare for the triple option.

Kentucky is not very good.

in this situation any upsets will be out of nowhere, and not really worth predicting so pretty well done sir.

just noticed mid post that you have Appalachian State over ECU, interesting, not many have pointed that one out.

We're not even worthy of a mention. :drama:

You sure are. Davy Crockett is my all time favorite frontiersman. However the decision to go to the Alamo was not a good career move

USC is going to crush Vandy. Vandy will be better in a couple of years, but chill guys.

Agreed.

I think this could very well be South Carolina's year. I'm not predicting it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they win the SEC. I think they have enough weapons to do so. I just think facing all the top SEC teams will keep them from winning SEC.

I don't think they will be surprised by Vandy right away. Not with ECU as the next game. I can see the game at Kentucky being a trap game when they host Georgia the following week.

I think Wyoming gives Texas ALL they can handle ( game decided by less than 1 score), I like Southern Miss to beat Nebraska, VT to beat GT, Louisville to beat Kentucky and I also think Ark State plays Oregon way way closer than alot of you guys think they will ( Ark State is going to score 30+ in that game, they may give up 40+ but their going to score plenty), I also like Clemson to drub Auburn and Michigan to beat Bama.

Im surprised so many people are picking Penn State to beat Ohio. Ohio is flat out better than PSU and may have won the game even before the defections. The Lions will be lucky to score 10 points in that one.

I am not THAT sold on USC yet. I feel like they are going to go through a "Hokie" style run for a few years where they are really really good but shoot themselves in the foot with a stupid loss or two that dooms their NCG hopes, but they are as talented as just about anyone.

I want to see USC vs. Southern Cal in a couple of BCS games with the moniker on the line!

I have it as a good game. Even with all the players that have transferred out or recommitted, I still think Penn State has better talented players. I think Solich has the team he wants and has been coaching them very well.

Ohio will be the better coach team, but I don't think O'Brien is that bad of a coach either. He obviously doesn't have the team he wants right now, but talented enough to sneak away with the win

I dont know man, PSU couldnt score LAST year and that was with Redd, Brown, and a good Oline. This year they dont have any of those guys and their Oline is really young. McGloin is OK but without any real threats at the skill positions and an Oline that is going to be average at best I dont see the Lions beating an Ohio team that could win 10-12 games this year.

Penn State finished ranked last season. They beat Ohio State. They lost by 3 to Nebraska. Ohio lost by 10 to Rutgers. They beat Kent State by 7. They lost to Buffalo and Ball State. They beat Bowling Green by 1.

If there were no sactions, I have PSU winning by more. I don't think Ohio will be way better than they were last year, but I do think PSU will obviously be worse. I think this game will be even.
