(1.) Georgia --- [one of them thinks of it as a rivalry; the other guys don't even notice]
(2.) Oklahoma --- [Frost is gone week 3 ... will the Huskers even be able to focus?]
(3.) Syracuse --- [it's not that I believ in the Orange; I just do not believe in Purdue]
(4.) Indiana --- [I don't know if I believe this]
(5.) Notre Dame --- [at least they get this game at Home ... unless they lose again]
(6.) BYU --- [they looked tough against Baylor]
(7.) Auburn --- [this could be a defining game for the Tigers]
(8.) Northern --- [this feels like a rather even pairing]
(9.) Georgia Southern --- [they got Frost fired ... are they carrying that momentum over?]
(10.) Houston --- [maybe this former West Va coach will get `em]
(11.) Wake Forest --- [ought be a decent game; Wake gets `em at Home]
(12.) LSU --- [who'd they lose to again
... there won't be cowbells or tomahawks in Baton Rouge]
(13.) NC State --- [I'm going with the Home team; but it could be messy]
(14.) Memphis--- [I almost went the other way here; I still might]
(15.) Michigan State --- [the Spartans invade with 300 ... rushing yards that is]
(16.) Iowa --- [will the Hawkeyes Offense find the end zone; or will the Defense do all the work, again?]
(17.) Maryland --- [this is one of those aggravating little trap games I almost hate myself for including]
(18.) UCF --- [let's see what they do against mostly like competition]
(19.) Miami --- [this one is obvious]
(20.) USC --- [I watched the other guys coaching staff mismanage the time on multiple drives to a loss]

(16.) Nevada - @ - Iowa
Here's one that I really was considering taking the little dog ...
The match up reminded me a bit of Notre Dame / Cincinnati last season.
Iowa's Defense would shutdown the Wolf Pack offense for most of the game; but Nevada's tempo spread would be too much to keep them locked down all 4 quarters. And with the Hawkeyes inability to score, it seemed a like a rough spot for Iowa.
Then, Nevada went and lost to Incarnate Word [55-41] last week.

I’m the LAST GUY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD you need to mention ANYTHING about losing 50 something to 40 something.

Well heck, while we’re at it, we may as well chuck Western Kentucky and Indiana in there, along with Michigan State and Washington.
And like I said, “I see ole Cane has been working hard at it again…..” and darn well stand by that!!!!
