  • The Will Muschamp era will begin with South Carolina as a 4 pt favorite over Vandy

  • Georgia Tech is favored by 3 over BC
  • Mizzou is an 11.5 pt underdog to West Va.

  • Arkansas is favored by 20.5 over LaTech

Sure good to see this thread back up. My picks would be Fl.St, Notre dumb, Kentucky, and Wisky. Lsu wins but has a tough time of it. Ole Miss can't hang with noles, and texas again below expectations.

Everyone keeps telling me that AU has a way of making games like this closer than they should be and the luck factor, etc. I can't argue with that logic. I just think Clemson is a very, very good team.

Clemson would have to show up drunk for that line to be the final margin. Although they've done that sort of thing in the past (hence, "clemsoning" becoming a thing), I think they have largely gotten over that kind of nonsense.

Would not be surprised to see Texas, UNC, UCLA, Wisconsin, or Vandy cover.

As for us, I just hope we don't turn the ball over. We'll be fine if that is the case. I don't care if we cover; JUST WIN.

True on all counts. I tend to listen closely to Coach Saban when he gives a rare scouting report. If he thinks Clemson is the best team in the country, I think I might go after that "easy money" as suggested. :)

Trend has been they perform well when mediocrity is expected and disappointed when they have high expectations . They're trying to buck that trend. They can prove in the first 3 weeks that they're legit. I'm leaning toward them starting 2-1, losing to either Houston out of the gate or to tOSU in Week 3. Both are early enough for them to regroup & make the playoff

I think they lose to Houston and upset tOSU in week 3. They will lose a Big12 team this season as well.

I expect the ucla and texas A&M game to be the closest of all the big games this weekend. ucla has rosen, and A&M has an experienced knight. should be exciting for teams. a lot of talent and the only advantage I see is it being a home game at college station. great atmosphere, and it will be hot and humid, a factor I believe.

How does A&M's d-line look this year? Rosen does not do well with pressure, and I believe they have some question marks in the middle of their o-line. Adding to the intrigue is Mazonne becoming A&M's coordinator. Should be a fun one to watch...

They have two NFL quality pass rushers, but their interior line isn't that good. If UCLA can keep Rosen upright I think they win, if they can't this may get ugly.
