Raysfan12 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Have to agree with Cola, the game of the week is easily Alabama-Michigan at Jerryworld. It's a battle of top ten teams in the season opener, enough said.But, I have some other games to keep an eye on:Notre Dame vs. Navy in Dublin, Ireland: This game has the earilest kickoff for a college game that I can remember (9 AM EST), but this ought to be a fun matchup. BTW, Notre Dame: Do NOT complain about the fact you're playing in Ireland... Complain about the fact that you lost 3 of the last 5 to Navy!Ohio at Penn State: I think I should be the first to say this... Gotdamn, it feels weird as hell to not see JoePa running the sidelines in Happy Valley. The entire scandal has turned Penn State into a former shell of what it once was and their first game is against a Ohio team that SI thinks could be a BCS buster.Southern Miss at Nebraska: IMO, Southern Miss could easily give Nebraska big time trouble. It wouldn't shock me to see the Golden Eagles win here.Arkansas State at Oregon: Call me crazy, but I see the potential for an upset here. I know that Oregon has the better talent, but you can't tell me that the Red Wolves aren't capable of giving Oregon a run for their money with the same offense they run?I believe that Alabama will lose to Michigan because Alabama hasn't faced a quarterback that can run and throw. They also lost many key defensive players from the championship team. The ND/Navy game is interesting in many points. Notre Dame is using an inexperienced qb and is facing a disciplined Navy team that is used to the rigors of training outside the US. I definitely smell an upset in Dublin. Ohio at Penn is the first game for PSU since the sanctions were installed and see if Ohio can live up to the BCS buster SI said. Southern Miss can give a challenge for Nebraska, but Neb will win at home. Arkansas State at Oregon is also another potential upset occurrence. Oregon may overlook this game and Arky State has one heck of an offense that can surprise some teams.I can't wait for week 1, especially the Battle of the Governors Cup between UK and UL, AU vs Clemson, and of course, Bama-Mich.

Cola Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think Vandy has a shot to beat South Carolina. They're returning a bunch of starters, and their defense is spectacular. Don't be shocked if the Gamecocks defense struggles.And I hope this thread is more active during the regular season.Don't be shocked at all. I could be wrong but it seems like their defense is the weak link, especially the defensive backs. Lattimore's back though and he's going to be a factor.Our defense can only be viewed as weak in regards to our secondary...and that is mainly due to injuries (Akeem Auguste out for the season AGAIN) and youth. Interesting to see how our talented newcomers play out.However, I think we have the best defensive front in all of college football and that is where the difference will be made up.Offense remains a question mark for me...so much new untested talent I'm excited about and then there is wondering if Connor Shaw will start where he left off last year. If he is halfway decent and Lattimore gets 20 carries, no reason we shouldn't beat Vandy by 21+. Remember last year, Garcia threw 4 INTs and we still won by 3 scores.South Carolina 31Vanderbilt 13Here's to hoping Michigan kicks the crap out of Bama. If not, I'll take any type of win.Thinking Bama does the opposite here and I am interested in seeing how Robinson fares against a defense like Alabama. Personally, I've never thought much of him at all...and he is going to have to do way more than run around and try and beat that defense with speed- he will need to throw it well. I think Alabama contains him and he proves to be the below average passer he truly is. Alabama 34 Michigan 10Hard to believe these 2 teams have never met in the regular season...and this will only be the 4th matchup in history.

NEW.ERA Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Only way Michigan could have a snowballs chance in hell of beating Bama is if this game was at Michigan Stadium./homerThey'll be in tough, but I have faith in the Tide. Tough sked this year, going to be tough to repeat. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespleenenator Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Is it just me, or does South Carolina have the worst luck of any FBS team? Garcia becomes an alcoholic, Lattimore gets injured, now Conner Shaw gets injured. I feel sorry for them to be honest. Why you make fun of me?

Chicageaux Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ladies and Gentlemen, Kent State is proud to present "Opening Night Jitters"That's absolutely embarrassing. An easy 6 points and he has a brain fart. It would have been really good if Towson let him run into the endzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespleenenator Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well, Vandy had all of the opportunities, they just didn't execute. I'm excited to see what Vandy does this season. They're a good football team if they can get their offense together. As for South Carolina, they don't look like a TOp 10 football team. But now, WSU vs BYU. I'm really pumped to see what Mike Leach has in store for everyone. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me.
