GO BLUE!I
included a couple early games for Hawaii, UCF and Colorado in case anyone wants to check out those teams before we play them. Also, September 17 looks like a great day to cancel everything and OD on some FOOTBAUGH. There will be schadenfreude o'plenty with OSU, MSU, ND and Oklahoma mixing it up on the gridiron. Feel free to add other games or make comment.

Clemson @ Auburn is a great opening weekend game. Would love to see Alabama @ USC instead of neutral site jerryworld.
August 20th, 2016 at 1:18 AM ^
Interested to see the AU/Clemson game and hate Jerryworld productions.
Also, not sure if the graphic appears to overlap with the sidebar for everyone else's view and, if so, how to repair. Maybe the Moms can lend a hand.

Lets look at what makes college football great.
Passionate local fans
Students
Unique campuses/cities
In most cases well over 100 years of varied traditions
What do they do?
move the venue to a faceless genera-dome
in some large city sourounded by 16 square miles of parking lot
set prices so that only semi-engaged corporate clients can afford the travel/room/tickets
pay the schools less than they would have made in a home & home arrangement
profit! I guess?

Maybe I'm the only one, but I don't see that being all that good of a game. Auburn wasn't very good last year, and I don't think they'll be very good this year either. Clemson's gonna end up winning that game by 14+ I think.
Auburn has no QB, their top 3 rushers and top 2 receivers from last year are gone. Carl Lawson is really fantastic on D, and Auburn could give Watson and company some trouble, but they don't really have the offensive firepower to test Clemson's almost brand new defense.
August 20th, 2016 at 5:42 AM ^
That is what it looks like on paper but the game is at Auburn so maybe they have some hope.
August 20th, 2016 at 7:54 AM ^
Auburn is a bit of a wild card at this point. Gus Malzahn has a pretty good offensive mind and is also good at developing quarterbacks for his system. He took former db Nick Marshall and made him a servicable qb. Auburn recruits well so there won't be a huge talent gap on the field. Just because they weren't very good last year does not mean they will suck again this year.

Wow there's a lot of potential for some top teams to cannibalize each other while we skip along to some 40 point wins. If Oklahoma wins I'll be happy with whatever else happens though.

that the defense will score 20 pts a game all by themselves.
That should take the pressure off a new QB.
August 20th, 2016 at 1:22 AM ^
I'm also hoping for the LSU/Wisconsin game to be entertainig (it is @ Camp Randall), but I have a feeling LSU may clobber them.

LSU has more than enough talent to make the playoff but their biggest question mark is at QB. Their QB play the last few years has been poor. If Brandon Harris can't improve greatly on last year this team isn't going anywhere.

Sparty got a big break overnight, as NDs starting safety and 4 other players (no idea if they're contributors) were arrested on weapons and marijuana charges
August 20th, 2016 at 3:00 PM ^
Lots of people here would rather see MSU (or OSU) lose than see Michigan win. I'm hoping they regain their senses after Michigan wins a few in a row in those series. This place is more fun when we don't have so many crazy people posting.

The first weekend has to be the best ever with so many great matchups. I'm looking forward to all of the big games but the ones that are getting my attention most are Bama/USC, Ole Miss/FSU, and ND/Texas. Really curious to see how Texas looks after finishing strong last year. I'm sure most of us will be pulling hard for the Horns in week one.
August 20th, 2016 at 3:02 PM ^
Yes, I think the thinking M fan wants ND to lose to both Texas and MSU. Get them into the rear view mirror early. They can win all they want afte that.
