Bama vs Wisconsin-in Arlington, TX
-Wisconsin has been plagued with injury this fall, but have had some recent returns as of yesterday.Redshirt Freshman TJ Edwards is back in action at inside LB. Tight end Jacob Maxwell also has returned. But Another inside LB, Leon Jacobs is also still out with injury. Offensive linemen Beau Benzschawel, Hayden Biegel and Jon Dietzen are still held out of practice. Robert Wheelright, WR, is also still out. Alec James, DE, is also out. It's been a bad offseason for Wisky, and opening vs Bama with injuries like this doesn't bode well, IMO. But you never know.
AU vs Bobby P- In the Georgia Dome. frick the Falcons.
-The Louisville defense is going to very good IMO. Especially the DL. Devonte Fields won the 2013 Big XII Defensive Player of the Year with TCU. He will be a force to reckon with, IMO. But they had some key losses on O, still have yet to name a starting QB, but guess is a healthy Will Gardner will get the nod. From what I've read, they seem to be inexperienced at WR. Radcliffe is back from them at RB, and should have a good year.
This should be an interesting game, IMO.
TAMU vs ASU-NRG Stadium, Houston, TX
-Sort of a home game for the ags. But ASU, it seems, is predicted to be pretty good this year. Senior WR DJ Foster has earned 2nd team AA accolades as an all purpose player.
The Sun Devils also had some key losses in the offseason, at QB, WR, DT and SS. But they replace those guys with experienced players. Redshirt senior quarterback Mike Bercovici has taken the reigns. They also return 9 of 11 starters on defense.
I think this will be a great game and the Ags have a good team on their hands.
I think that TAMU and AU will have their hands full. I think Bama rolls. I didn't list other schools because they had cupcakes. Although I am interested to hear more about USC vs UNC if any USC fans have some insight.

The Senior Bowl’s 2016 Watch List featured nine Sun Devils, which ranked tied for the third-most selections among FBS programs. The seniors include quarterback Mike Bercovici, cornerbacks Kweishi Brown and Lloyd Carrington, wide receivers Gary Chambers and Foster, center Nick Kelly, linebacker Antonio Longino, safety Jordan Simone, and offensive guard Christian Westerman.

IDK what Louisville has on offense, but I would still hate to be breaking in a new defense and have to face Petrino in the first game.

A&M. It could go either way. I expect Alabama to crush Wisky and Auburn to wear down Louisville

Man, Louisville's DL is going to be really good though, IMO.

sorry man. Should I have started a thread on the SECr on how great LSU is? That seems to be the aggie way!
I prefer to talk about other SEC teams on tSECr. Ya know?

I would love to see them all lose

I would go
1.) A&M
2.) Auburn
3.) Alabama
I think all 3 will be good games with all 3 SEC teams winning. ASU vs A&M is going to be a track meet & should be really fun to watch. I think both UL & Wiscy play close early and then fall away with bama winning the biggest

Us. ASU is pretty veteran heavy this year. However their OL is a big concern for them.
The other games are interesting though. You can never underestimate a Bobby Petrino coached team and Its hard to tell Bamas offensive identity.

Auburn's OL should be really good too.
Being that their OL is struggling too, I'm predicting a tight, low scoring game. I think whoever can keep their QB clean will win the game. It should be apparent early in the game.

I wasn't aware. I'd have added that in the OP. They do have a lot of seniors this year though.

I think A&M will be the only one of the three to lose, although ASU isn't necessarily the best team of the three.

The only surprising loss would be Alabama, I think. Auburn should win, but lots of wildcards. aTm is probably a tossup.
If AU and aTm won by 21 apiece, no one would be shocked.

Who is the best team of Louisville, Wisconsin, and ASU?

I could see both defenses actually outperforming the offenses so a relatively low scoring game is not out of the question.
