The action kicks off tonight, Friday, 8 pm with Georgia Tech visiting the Deions at Boulder. The Ramblin Wreck is a 4.5 pt favorite over the Buffaloes. At the same time Auburn is at Baylor. See if Coach Sleaze Freeze finally gets Auburn on the right track with Sooner reject QB Jackson Arnold or his coaching seat becomes scorching hot. Auburn is a 2.5 pt favorite.
Saturday kicks off at noon with a battle of kaijus as Texas Longhorns pay a visit to Ohio Stadium and THE Ohio State University. We shall finally see if Arch Manning lives up to the hype. THE Ohio State University is also starting a new QB in Julian Sayin. The Buckeyes are a 1.5 pt favorite. Any over/under probability bets Dave Portnoy will make it out of CBus alive?
The most interesting 3:30 window game is Alabama visiting the renovated Doak Campbell Stadium. The Seminoles are a 13.5 pt home underdog. One has to think if the Crimson Tide blows out the Seminoles, Coach Mike Norvell's seat will get hotter.
Saturday evening ends with the Battle of the Tigers and Death Valleys as LSU visits Clemson. Brian Kelly as LSU coach has lost all three opener games. This game showcase two of the best QBs in college football in Garrett Nussmeier and Cade Klubnik. Clemson defensive line might be the best in college football with two potential top 10 NFL draftees in T.J. Parker and Peter Woods. They will go against a LSU O-Line with four new starters and a previous starter playing a new position. Clemson is a 4.5 home favorite. The losing team should be forced to drop the Death Valley moniker for the season.
We are not done yet as there are games on Sunday. There is Bird Brawl at 3 ET in the ATL as the South Carolina Gamecocks play the Virginia Tech Hokies. Gamecock QB LaNorris Sellers might be a potential number 1 overall pick. South Carolina is a 7.5 pt favorite. The winner of the game should have a complimentary dinner featuring the losers mascot.
As a Generation Xer, this is a big-time nostalgia game kicking off at 8 pm. Get into a Ferrari Testarossa, put a cassette into the stereo stating off with Jan Hammer's Miami Vice intro music, then some Phil Collins, then some Billy Idol and cruise around the streets and causeways of Miami at night. We have the latest iteration of Catholic vs. Convicts. Both teams are starting new QBs with redshirt freshman CJ Carr making his first start for the Domers and Miami bringing in UGa QB Carson Beck. Beck must have already cruised around Miami in his Lamborghini LARPing as Sonny Crockett. One big strike against Beck is dropping the ball on Hanna Cavinder. Notre Dame is a 2.5 pt favorite.
We are not done as one of the most anticipated coaching debuts is at Monday 8 pm ET. UNC with GOAT coach Bill Belichick and his GOAT gold digger girlfriend Jordan Hudson hosts the TCU Horned FrogsLizards. Jordan Hudson is trademarking "Gold Digger" to sell jewelery. The Tarheels are a 3.5 pt home underdog.
The action kicked off last night. Maybe they weren’t top 25 teams, but yes, college football was on last night.
Nebraska vs. Cincinnati held in Kansas City was a decent game. Cincy almost tied Nebraska. Final was 20-17.
There were several other games that were played last night.
Wisconsin beat somebody, maybe Miami of Ohio? Rutgers won, too. 6 or so games were played.
When was the last time the #1 team was an underdog?
Yeah. The biggest result was Boise State getting blown out by USF in Tampa. BSU was the betting favorite to be the Group of Five playoff representative.
That game ended up being boring. I thought it would be pretty good, but I couldn’t wait for it to end. USF came out ready to play.
I don’t know, but it should be a grudge match.
Not top 25 but my alma mater plays Charlotte in the Duke Mayo Classic and both teams are portal built teams.
Bulls fans in the Tampa Bay area would beg to differ 🤗 next week we crush the Gators, and then USF will get its cred back.
I thought of you last night. Did you watch the game?
The announcers didn’t help much. USF played so well that Boise State could never get much right.
I haven’t paid much attention to USF since George Selvie played there.
Listened. We don’t have dish or cable out here in the sticks. We go to a game every once in a while, (Basketball and Hockey, too) and can usually see a Badger Football game or two on Free Government TV during the season.
Ahhh, not even dish, huh? The only time I listen to games is when we’re on the road. I love watching the games.
We have quite a football day on tap for Saturday. Bigger yard project work will mostly have to wait until Sunday.
So glad it’s football season again!
Oregon going to go 13-0 again.
Hard to believe there’s a top-notch game the first week. Big-name teams usually play sacrificial lamb teams as a warm up.
Yeah, you’re right. Oregon is going up that powerhouse Montana State on Saturday. Gonna be a helluva game!
They only play one good team this season. One of the easiest schedules this year. I’m guessing they go 12 and 1.
Their toughest game is Penn St which have yet to win a big game and we will beat them at their house. We live for these games.
We'll see.
I can remember Alabama going up against San Jose State to start the season. In San Jose? No way. It’s like ‘you come here to get your butt kicked’.
