Northwestern should beat California very soundly.
Cal has been devastated with lost players, while NW has nearly all returning.

Pittsburgh could surprise Florida State. FSU could take the game lightly, and the upset is on.

Cincinnati should romp over a Purdue team that is in a rebuilding year.

Get out the blankets and ice tea....Wisconsin will be having a picknik with UMass

NC State better pay close attention when hosting Louisiana Tech. Both teams in a rebuilding year.

Florida International and Maryland will be a lot closer than the books offer.

Florida could struggle as bit with a Toledo team that will come to play.

Ohio State is a bit more than a 5 TD favorite. Everybody's back at Buffalo and I think it will be a bit closer than predicted.

I like a lot of the big dogs to cover in week #1. That could include Temple and Central Michigan.

Penn St and Syracuse in a low scoring defensive battle.

BYU and Virginia in a close low scoring game

Alabama will be too much for Virginia Tech to handle, although Va Tech could keep it close in the first half until Ala wakes up in the second half for a romp.

Both Auburn and Wash St could struggle in a low scoring affair.

Texas is attending the same picknic as Wisconsin and should roll very easily over New Mex St.
