They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

NOTE: I switched my pick on the Georgia Southern at West Virginia game to West Virginia.

One of Ga Southern's two QB's in their rotation, Kevin Ellison is suspended for the WV and Western Michigan game.

1. South Carolina
2. UCF (Thursday)
3. Western Kentucky
4. Michigan
5. TCU
6. Hawaii
7. Boise State
8. Stanford
9. Nebraska
10. Penn State
11. Auburn (in Atlanta)
12. UCLA
13. Tennessee
14. Arizona State
15. Kentucky
16. Notre Dame
17. West Virginia
18. Alabama (in Arlington)
19. Marshall (Sunday)
20. Ohio State (Monday)

Few games on this list peak my interest for varying reasons.

I think Michigan is being under rated. Like there was a Meyer effect at OSU, there is going to be a similiar effect for Harbaugh. They will immediate play harder and be competitive.

Chris Peterson against his old team. I picked Boise but I would not be surprised to see Peterson know which supports are load bearing in the house he built.

Texas D is being hyped as nasty and of the likes they had when they went to the title game. There O is in la la land but they could startle ND with their defense if the reports are correct. Win, no but definitely scare.

OSU should fulfill it's revenge for last seasons loss but the stage and the lights will cause VT to play if tough. If OSU stumbles VT could very well sucker punch them. Earlier in the year I was like 80%-20% OSU. Now I'm like 60%-40% OSU.

Ohio State will miss Michael Bennett more that people know.
