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

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.
