Time for predictions. Every week lets get it
Michigan @ Florida State
Score: Michigan wins 20-19
Most people will say that at this time, FSU is better than Michigan, and I'll agree with that. However, in a head to head match I'm compelled to pick Michigan just because this plays right into their hands. I love KinghilariousHD, but as a Quarterback he just has ways to go before hes able to make this offense consistently efficient. Another thing, Michigan has good chemistry and I feel knows how to win. Personally, Michigan is mine sleeper team as I see them only getting better this season. Tough call here, but I see a low scoring game as the FSU defense has to drag along its offense and Michigan will be able to capitalize off of FSU's mistakes.
Miami @ Ohio State Saturday
Score: Ohio wins 35-21
Ohio is in a position to take over this game early and really just cruise to victory. Not because Miami is a bad team, but because Ohio is so smart that this is a perfect match up for them. Miami's Quarterback is Brazil, who isn't the worst QB out there, but I EXPECT him to make unforced errors. I also see a weak run defense from Miami that Ohio WILL exploit. I see Ohio scoring early, Miami turning it over for Ohio to get some easy points. Miami will score with enough patience but I see it being 28-14 by the fourth quarter and Ohio not allowing a comeback.
Kansas State @ Arizona State
Score: 23-7 ASU (FF)
ASU's defense will be strong enough to carry Marioe's mistakes I feel. Unlike some of these other QBs though, Marioe can really dime at some times and just pour on the points. KSU, I had a feeling that they would get better over the off season but I'm just not seeing it. ASU isn't amazing, but KSU will make them look like the Falcons offense, as KSU has no defense to speak of. I see this game being over before halftime.
UCLA @ Alabama
Score: Alabama 38-26
Now, UCLA is really a big question mark as Dez just got head coach a few days ago. I suspect that he will have brought in some drops from the OFL or maybe even alts the way he talks about this team. I do think that they'll be able to do some things but the main issue I see is how these players' egos will mesh. A tall task to make a team in less than a week and win that weekend, but we'll see. As for Alabama, there is a shaky defense at times that will allow UCLA to score at times, but I see Alabama scoring enough to offset that with them holding a 1 touchdown lead the whole game.
Louisiana @ Clemson
Score: Clemson 20-0 (FF)
I haven't see a whole lot from Clemson as of yet, but what I do know is that they have one of teh top 2-3 head coaches in teh league. He's had this team for a while now and has been building really from teh ground up with his guys his way. Now, he's already been able to get a good grasp on who/what works by now so I'm expecting them to come out and make a statement. Poor Vuoxz. This LSU team is a hot mess and will take a good while to build. Not his fault, he's just inheriting a bunch of inactives and has to build off of his own contacts or whatever is left in the OCFA free agency pool. Hope you're able to build back this team Vu, but as of right now it'll be extremely challenging to beat this Clemson team.
Had to make some things incorrect to pass through filters
Week one, arguably the most important week of all.
