COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 1 DISCUSSION 

Post#1 » by bleu » Mon Aug 28, 2017 12:25 am

It's finally here! Well, I guess it has technically already started with 5 pretty crappy games yesterday. But TONS of solid games on the slate this week! Obviously Alabama - Florida State is the big one, but what else are you guys looking forward to this week?

Use this thread for all discussion and talk about this week's games

College football, it's good to have you back!

A few that I will certainly have my eyes on:

Colorado State vs Colorado - CSU looked REAL nice against Oregon State, and they'll be looking for revenge after last year
Maryland vs Texas - Go Terps/screw Texas
Wyoming vs Iowa - Best quarterback in the country going against a B1G defense
Michigan vs Florida - Going to say a lot about which conference is more dominant this season
Ohio State vs Indiana - I have money on Ohio State -20 pts
Utah State vs Wisconsin - Hopefully my Aggies can keep it within 30...

Michigan/Florida sounds intriguing.

don't make this a big deal, hawkeyes need as few expectations and eyes on this as possible

i'm expecting a rough start

also wyoming did play nebraska last year, unless you don't want to count them as a big ten defense :wink:

Eeeeeh. Wyoming has a few very good NFL-talent guys, but as a team I don't expect them to be anything all too special. Iowa should win that one with relative ease, but I guess we'll see.

Man, I know it's just a quarter in and it's week 1. But Ohio State looks like absolute garbage so far. Very disappointing start to this game...

Ohio State is going to win, but they'll be in trouble once they start facing teams like Michigan and Penn State.

Hopefully that gets us going! Very poor start. Underwhelming to say the least.

well i expected a rough start, josh allen is good - that scramble was crazy avoiding the initial sack - he was dead to rights but they eventually got him

also maryland off to a good start on texas

Josh Allen is VERY good. I watched most of his games last season, and I am 1000% convinced he will be a superstar in the NFL. Wyoming as a team is pretty clearly smaller, slower, and weaker. But Josh Allen alone might keep them in it.

How in the HELL does Texas manage to get so much pre-season hype every damn season? They go 5-7 with a loss to Kansas and they're a pre-season top 25 team? Disgusting.

LETS GO TERPS!
