Thursday Sept 1-

Indiana @ Florida International- Hoosiers win, but who knows when your program's expectations are so low you schedule a home/home with Florida International

Oregon State @ Minnesota- neither of these teams usually impress me early in the season, Minnesota has ugly uniforms, Oregon State wins.

Friday Sept 2-

Furman @ Michigan State- Sparty gets better looks in practice, hopefully nobody's ticket costs over $25 for this snoozer.  Sparty can lay an early season egg from time to time, this one ends 35-10.

Saturday Sept 3-

Bowling Green @ Ohio State- 9 days away.  Bowling Green has more Ohio State fans on their Campus than they do Falcon fans, and they won't be disappointed

Western Michigan @ Northwestern- Fitz will have them ready.  Northwestern is solid under Fitz, every year, until a season's worth of injuries takes it's toll on the thin roster.

Hawaii @ Michigan- Hawaii gets the benefit of playing it's second game, Michigan breaks in a new QB.  Game will be within a 14 points at halftime, Michigan pulls away late.

Howard @ Maryland- Terps win, and nobody cares

Eastern Kentucky @ Purdue- Purdue should/might win, there may be only 400 people in the country that want to watch this game.

Rutgers @ Washington- first thought Washington is overrated, but Chris Peterson is a fine coach.  Rutgers loses bad.

LSU vs Wisconsin- as was the cas last year, Wisconsin just doesn't have the athletic depth to go 4 quarters with a team like LSU.  Hope Wisconsin is able to keep Fournette under 150, or ESPN will give the Heisman to him after one game.

Kent State @ Penn State- Penn State wins, but nobody cares

Miami Ohio @ Iowa- Iowa wins, is there anybody that really wants to watch this?

Murry State @ Illinois- good grief, who cares?  Illinois wins.  I do hope Lovie Smith is able to build a solid program there

Fresno State @ Nebraska- for some reason, I've never liked Fresno State.  Nebraska wins a close one.

other Top Matchups

Oklahoma vs Houston- Oklahoma wins, we will see the reason Oklahoma is rated top 5 preseason.

UCLA @ Texas AtM- Aggies

Georgia vs North Carolina-  Noth Carolina

Southern Cal vs Alabama- Tide

Clemson @ Auburn- Clemson

Notre Dame @ Texas- Longhorns

Ole Miss vs Florida State- Seminoles
