The meltdown from VOLS if they lost to App State week 1 would be unbelievable.

Bowling Green has a better chance of beating Ohio State than Texas does of beating Notre Dame

I will disagree with that statement for sure

BG has a new coach and lost a lot of their best players and they wouldn't beat OSU with those guys

Texas at least seems to have bought into Strong now and had good games last year (mixed in with awful games). If you can beat OU like they did last year, you at least have the ability to be pretty good

I'm lazy so I'm only giving my top 4.

Florida State
Oklahoma
Notre Dame
Bama

ONLY reason I say Bama at 4 is they are so young and I don't know if their dbs are fully ready for this one. Realistically, I don't see them losing bc d line is gonna make sure the dbs' job is easy.

If Tennessee isn't careful it could be them. Appalachian State is a pretty good team.

I think Michigan has the highest chance to win

They get Hawaii realistically 5 days after playing a game in Australia. I guess you get the improvement from week 1 to 2 for them, but i'm not optimistic

Perhaps. Hawaii will play them tough, though. Either way, there isn't much chance either Michigan or Ohio State lose their season opener this year.

I actually anticipate watching Oklahoma and Alabama lose, on the other hand.

ETA: How do you figure 5 days? Cal and Hawaii play this Friday.

I suppose you could say it is exactly seven days. The Cal game is at Noon on Saturday, Australia time. Hawaii- Michigan is at Noon on Saturday in AA.

Michigan will beat Hawaii at least 70-0. Their a-hole coach will be pouring it on for ranking points.

My heart says Oklahoma, but my mind says FSU.

1. FSU
2. OU
3. Notre Dame
4. LSU
5. Bama
6. The rest.

LSU has a much better chance of beating Wisky than UA does USC

This is true. Texas oline will have 2 true freshmen, and we're starting Swoopes at QB, who can't hit water from a boat. When Strong gets fired mid-season, he has only himself to blame.

This is the unit I have the least concerns with this season. Not calling you our your opinion out, just saying.

So were Utah State and Bowling Green. tRant said we'd lose to them too.

I sure hope FSU loses! I just don't see Wisconsin beating LSU. I can see more of a shot USC beating Bama. Just my opinon.

1. OKLAHOMA - this is Houston's audition game for a B12 invite.
2. Clemson - Eagles feast on baked taters.
3. Notre Dame - first game jitters swing this game one way or the other. I'm betting other.
4. FSU - Ole Miss is on death row and desperate but the Indians should keep their scalps.
5. Stanford - only because I like K-State.
6-10. Meh.
