We’ll start off with Alabama vs. Clemson
Coach Bowden at Clemson is one of the most consistent coaches possible; sadly it is that he is consistent in screwing up in big games. I predict Alabama to win a squeaker as Saban sells what is left of his soul for this win.
Alabama 24 Clemson 21
Next on the list is Vanderbilt vs. Miami
Bobby Johnson has an overall win percentage of .286 in his tenure at Vandy so you can obviously see they are a team to be feared under him. Miami hasn’t won an important game in 7 years but they’ll have enough to thump Vanderbilt by 12 points in this game.
Miami 24 Vanderbilt 12
Now we go to the Carolinas where we have N.C. State vs. South Carolina
Tom O’Brien is heading into his second season where he finished a not so bad 5-7. At South Carolina we have Steve Spurrier who is just 21-16 after 3 seasons. After last season’s meltdown on offense coach Spurrier had to spend most of his pay due to multiple visors and clipboards being broken or lost due to them being launched into orbit. I expect South Carolina to come out hard and crush N.C. State 27-10 as Spurrier has decided he can’t afford many more Visors.
Now we move to Hawaii vs. Florida
What in the hell are they thinking? After this Fiasco against Georgia and this game I predict the Hawaiian fans will hunt him down and sacrifice him to some volcano god. No points spread can be high enough to cover this game. Florida who is lead by the superman otherwise known as Tim Tebow will crush Hawaii so badly that Colt Brennan will have flashbacks just hearing the game on the radio and start crying again. Tebow will have gained more yards than the entire Hawaii team.
Florida 244 Hawaii 6
Now we come to Georgia vs. Georgia Southern
Georgia is asking for GSU to drive up to Athens for this game? Even though Southern stole a quarter back from Ohio State doesn’t mean they’ll have much of a chance. The only saving grace for Georgia Southern in this game is that many of Georgia’s players may not be out on bail yet so they will be facing the second string players.
Georgia 38 Southern 17
After crushing Ohio in their bowl game LSU is looking for some real competition and decided to schedule Appalachian State. App State was able to run all over Michigan’s defenders like they were 8 year old girls playing red rover red rover but that won’t happen in this game. LSU’s defense will keep App. State to 14 as Miles will try and not make it a complete blowout
LSU 34 App. State 14
Mississippi State vs. Louisiana Tech
Croom is trying to justify his time at Mississippi State as he tries to make them a relevant team in the SEC. The first time these two teams met Louisiana beat Mississippi but has since only won one of the matchups since. Mississippi State is returning too much talent and that SEC speed, Croom will crush Tech and State fans will claim their right to the SEC championship game after the first game of the season.
Mississippi 27 Louisiana Tech 9
Now we come to Arkansas vs. Western Illinois
This is Petrino’s first year as the head coach of Arkansas and he better be careful with this tough starting game. Nutt may have left Arkansas in shambles and every one of Arkansas’ good players may have left for the NFL or been arrested, but they’ll beat Illinois into a retarded stupor.
Arkansas 37 Illinois 7
Now we come to Auburn vs. LA-Monroe
After seeing LSU and UGA scheduling their tough teams Auburn decided they didn’t want to be left out and quickly added LA-Monroe. Now many will point to LA-Monroe and point out that they beat Alabama worse than Auburn has in the Iron bowl, just ignore that it is not much to be concerned about. Auburn doesn’t have Sara Jessica Parker Wilson as their Quarter back so they’ll easily handle LA Monroe in this game.
Auburn 34 Monroe 7
Now we go to a real game that doesn’t include soft east coast teams it includes a soft west coast team. Tennessee vs. UCLA
Fulmer at Tennessee has all of his players out of jail and has them pissed off as they didn’t win the Fulmer’s cup last year, Alabama stole that trophy from them. UCLA has had so many injuries at quarter back they are starting their 18th string quarter back, who happens to be their marching band leader. UCLA will not be able to hold back the ocean of orange coming their way and will be beaten to a pulp.
Tennessee by 7 in this game
I’ll try and post some of the more relevant games from other conferences in a few days as time permits.
