I'd replace Florida @ Florida State with South Carolina @ Clemson

how did that one not make the list??

Clemson lost some good players but they're certainly closer to competing at home against South Carolina then Florida is at Florida State.

Plus the two coaches always jawing at each other is a funny storyline.

Iowa @ Pitt has absolutely no appeal nationally. I'd have all the games you have behind that one ahead of it.

Zero appeal unless you happen to be a Pitt or Iowa fan. And what do you know? The guy that listed that game is.

I know but still. That would be like me saying Notre Dame vs. Rice should be in the top 15.

Fine. It might be a homer one, but I think Iowa will be high in the B1G standings at season's end due to their conference schedule. Pitt is probably their toughest game until Maryland (Oct 18) or Northwestern (Nov 1). Iowa's defense will still be rebuilding. Pitt could possibly upset Iowa.

it may be Iowa's best nonconference game but still doesnt appeal.
especially not on the same day as Clemson v Florida State, SCarolina v Vandy, GT v VT, Florida v Bama

Ohio State plays VT this year. Not sure how good VT is projected to be but I'm anticipating a pretty good game. :noidea:

If Pitt beats Iowa, it won't be an upset at the beginning of the year. Highly doubt either team will be ranked and like everybody said, this game has ZERO national appeal. This might be for the BTN; definitely a homer pick. If it's at Pitt, it won't even be a sellout.
