There are not many amazing match-ups during week one, but there are certainly some serious games to watch. And they will all be interesting because quite honestly, NASCAR and MLB is not cutting it. It is FOOTBALL time.
Thursday's Games
South Carolina v. So Miss - South Carolina and the ol' ball coach come out swinging in their first appearance of the 2010 schedule. Steve Spurrier is going to have a decent year with one of his easiest SEC schedules in recent history.
#15 Pittsburgh v. Utah - I think Utah has the advantage in this match-up simply because Pittsburgh is always overrated and I don't care for Dave Wannstedt. I think Utah pulls the upset here.
Friday's Games
None that matter
Saturday's Games
#4 UF v. Miami (OH) - John Brantley will likely put up 42 points on his own. This game is the coming out party for the Gators' return to the SEC championship game. I would not be a bit surprised to see the Gators go undefeated this year. Of course, that Alabama game will be the THE game. UF wins, covers, and then some.
Northwestern v. Vanderbilt - This is an interesting game that should make for some exciting football. Vandy is without coach Bobby Johnson and must come together under an assistant. The question becomes, will the team show up? I guess that they will. I think we'll be hearing things about Vandy this year. Vandy wins in the upset.
Purdue v. Notre Dame - Notre Dame the big underdogs in this one. I wouldn't give 10 points to any team playing the Irish, except for maybe USC. I think the Catholics play hard, and keep it close. Purdue wins, but on a last minute FG.
Connecticut v. Michigan - I hope UConn demolished Rich Rodriguez and the Overrated Wolverines. UConn by 5.
Kentucky @ Louisville - Charlie Strong has his first crack at the head-coaching slot. He comes out in a big way and takes it to the Wildcats. Big East makes a statement against the SEC here.
North Texas v. Clemson - This is on here for Brandon only. Clemson wins. By 2 dozen.
Samford v. FSU - FSU wins by 3 touchdowns. Go Noles!
San Jose State v. #1 Bama - Bama Bama Bama Bama. Ramma Jamma Yella Hamma give em hell Alabama! Alabama might repeat this year. And they will win by at least 5 touchdowns.
#24 OSU v. #6 TCU - This is one of the better games of the weekend and I like the Beavers. I think OSU takes the Horny Toads to school in a big upset win that keeps OSU relevant this season.
#21 LSU v. #18 UNC - I would've said UNC, but they have lost like 20 players to suspensions. So LSU wins and wins big.
Monday's Game
#3 Boise State v. #10 Va Tech - Hokies will absolutely destroy the Broncs in this one. It will be a sad day for BSU. They will never be mentioned in the National Championship discussion again. But Va Tech will.
