The season is upon us, and I could not be more excited about it. I'm gonna take a stab at some key matchups in week one and see what happens.
South Carolina @ Vanderbilt
This game has got upset written all over it. The only uncertainty I have is whether or not Vandy's defense will still be as stout as it was last year. I would not be surprised at all to see Vandy win this game, since they have had the entire offseason to prepare. I am gonna go with the Gamecocks though, because ever since Shaw started at quarterback near the end of last year, Carolina has been dominating opponents.
South Carolina 24
Vanderbilt 17
Boise St @ Michigan St
The Kellen Moore years are over, and MSU is going to be ready for this game. Boise will compete, and with a break or two, can win the game, but Sparty will be too much for the Broncos.
Boise St 27
Michigan St 31
North Carolina St vs. Tennessee
With Bray and his receivers back, along with the spectacular addition of Sal Sunseri at defensive coordinator, Tennessee is poised to be an 8-10 win team this year. It starts with beating the socks off of the wolf pack, though the game will be close until the 4th quarter.
NC STATE 20
Tennessee 38
Auburn vs. Clemson
Auburn had a chance to keep this game close until all of the recent attrition for various reasons...drinking and such. New coordinators will be a huge plus for Auburn, but it is gonna take a year for that to really show up. Clemson will likely score at will.
Auburn 22
Clemson 41
Michigan vs. Alabama
Denard Robinson will be just like every other dual threat QB Alabama has faced recently...he will leave the game injured, nicked, crying, or all of the above. If you can't throw the ball, you will not beat this year's Alabama team. There is way to much offensive firepower for Alabama. And Denard, you are not even close to being Cam Newton. So please, people on ESPN, quit with the comparisons.
Michigan 17
Alabama 34
Kentucky @ Louisville
I don't remember where this game is gonna be played, I just know that Louisville is gonna destroy the opponent.
Kentucky 13
Louisville 37
