College football is here!
The moment I have been waiting for since January is here. The kickoff to the college football season is just over an hour away.
There are two big games tonight on television, North Carolina State at the Old Ball Coach’s South Carolina Gamecocks, followed by No. 16 Oregon at No. 14 Boise State.
I will definitely be tuned in to both games, as well as tracking other games online, such as North Texas and Sam Houston.
Here are a few predictions for the season:
National championship: Texas over Florida.
Heisman: Colt McCoy, Texas.
OK, those may be a bit biased, but they are also not far-fetched.
Here is a look at the weekend ahead:
Game of the Week: No. 5 Alabama vs. No. 7 Virginia Tech
Game I’m most looking forward to: No. 13 Georgia at No. 9 Oklahoma State: A big early showdown featuring former Lufkin Panther Dez Bryant.
Five straight up picks
South Carolina over North Carolina State
Boise State over Oregon
Baylor over Wake Forest
Rice over UAB
Alabama over Virginia Tech
Five against the spread picks
New Mexico (+14 1/2) at Texas A&M
Louisiana-Monroe (+41 1/2) at Texas
Maryland (+21) at California
Connecticut (-3 1/2) at Ohio
BYU (+22) at Oklahoma
