Feel free to post predictions, thoughts, pictures of Nick Saban kissing Satan, etc...

Football is back. Wooooooo.

The Michigan/Utah game tonight really intrigues me. Utah is currently favored by 6, but Harbaugh is going to have his guys ready to play. I'm anticipating an upset.

I was sad to see Michigan lose. TCU looks awesome. I'm really hoping BYU upsets Nebraska, but if their is one thing I always know, BYU is always a great pick to choke. We'll either see the BYU that can compete for a New Years 6 bowl game, or a BYU team that looks worse than UConn. Which one will show up? Who knows.

Underwhelming start from Michigan, but their next four games are cakewalks. They should be 4-1 in due time.

It was a tale of two halves for them. Solid win for them though, Washington is a good team.

Yeah, feel terrible for the UW kicker, tough kick but hate to see it end that way.

Yeah it was rough, but how the Hawaii game ended is a lot worse in my opinion, the refs screwed that one up way bad.

5-0 on my Pac12 predictions so far

My UCLA-Virginia preview is here

So excited to see Rosen's debut, with seven returning starters, Cavs defense being questionable and Perk, I can see him having a great start. If he can avoid turnovers, it'd be a great game/

No, Washington isn't a good team. A decent side, maybe, but only Colorado and maybe Oregon State is worse than Washington in the P12. They just lost four defenders in the first two rounds of the draft, iirc, and are featuring seven new starters on D with a true freshman QB that they didn't even trust to make a throw over 10 yards.

No way should they have been two inches away from forcing OT on the road, against a ranked opponent. If Boise doesn't drop out the rankings, I'd be disappointed.

Northwestern looks pretty solid. Probably an 8-4 team out of the Big 10. Defense looked solid today.

Stanford ruined my predictions, pathetic display. Wazzou only up 10-0 just before the half at home to Portland State is just as bad.
