SEC with 5 of top 10. First week games:

#1 Alabama vs. VaTech
#2 OSU vs Buffalo
#3 Oregon vs Nichols St
#4 Stanford vs San Jose St
#5 Georgia vs #8 Clemson (should be really good game)

Looking forward to Louisville's run to the national title.

Looking forward to Texas A&M's run to the national title.

As am I. Texas A&M has as manageable schedule imaginable for an SEC West team. Alabama @ A&M is basically a national quarter-final in September, the winner having the inside track to the SEC championship game. With the 14 team conference, you only play one opponent from the other division. The Aggies get Vanderbilt.....at home. Plus, the non-conference slate is four creampuffs all at home. Honestly, if it comes down to a bunch of one-loss teams, A&M may lose out because of strength of schedule.

We got this. Now that I'm back in Louisville I can actually go to some games. Will be at the Ohio game on the 1st with the parents. Can't wait to see Teddy in action.

Louisville has a VERY easy schedule.

I honestly could see ND having a very successful season. Two hardest games will be vs. Okalhoma and at Stanford. The Golson situation doesn't help anything but BK has ALWAYS been able to adapt to his quarterback. I think the offense will look a lot better this year. Gregg Bryant a true freshman could see some great carries at RB, lots of depth in the running game which was key last year.

My prediction is 10-2. I think it's manageable but I wouldn't be shocked if we end up at 9-3. Taking a couple of extra days off around Labor Day and heading home for the home opener I cannot wait. Last football game I was at was the National Championship. Need a win to wash away that bitter bitter taste still in my mouth.

My guess is that A&M ends up about 9-3. I think the turbulent offseason will take a toll on them.

I hate preseason rankings. Ohio State literally plays nobody until the last game of the season, so they'll probably be #1 before Michigan smack them down.

Hey now Florida A&M and Buffalo are tough! :laugh:
