It begins!!!!
First game is Abilene Christian vs. Georgia State on Wednesday at 7PM EST.
But WTF cares about that game.
Top 3 games of the week and my picks
1. No. 21 Texas A&M at No. 9 South Carolina, Thursday 6PM EST, SEC Network
-South Carolina favored by 10.5
-South Carolina notes: Likely an over rated team to start off the year, they are lead by an elite RB in Mike Davis and WR Shaq Roland is a potential start in the making. Defensively they lost some key players up front but are lead by two young studs at LB in Holloman and Moore.
-Texas A&M: The post-Manziel era begins. Sophmore QB Kenny Hill is taking over and he was a big time highschool football star, a mobile QB to boot. A&M has a very young offense with only 3 seniors starting, and only 3 seniors on D starting.
-Pick: South Carolina to cover. In case you missed it, Texas A&M was a bad football team that won games on Manziel-Evans magic. Texas A&M has a lot of young talent, but on the road against South Carolina is going to be a tough lesson
2. No, 14 Wisconsin vs. No. 13 LSU, Saturday, 9PM EST, ESPN
-LSU favored by 5
-LSU Notes: LSU has a powerful offensive line and is loaded at RB. The passing game will be a work in progress with a freshman QB and replacing the top 2 WRs. Defensively LSU is very young and reloading, yet again, but should still boast a top 30 Defense at least.
-Wisconsin Notes: Wisconsin had the #6 D in the country last year but lost 5 of its top 7 tacklers, including defensive leader Chris Borland. And despite the impressive ranking, Wisconsin gave up 30 pts to major conference OOC opponents. Offensively it will be the Melvin Gordon show behind a veteran line, Gordon is a potential Heisman candidate.
-Pick: LSU to cover. This is a bad matchup for a one-dimensional Wisconsin offense, and their D won't hold up against LSU's attack.
3. No. 16 Clemson at No. 14 Georgia, Saturday, 5:30PM EST, ESPN
-Georgia favored by 7.5
-Clemson Notes: Clemson had the #24 defense last year, and it will be even better this year with a lethal front 7, with 4 defensive lineman racking up double digit TFL last year that returned. Clemson is led by DE stud Vic Beasley. Offensively, Clemson is rebuilding as its stars over the years have moved on to the NFL.
-Georgia Notes: Georgai has arguably the best pair of RBs in the nation, but gone is leader Andrew Murray. Last year Georgia was an injury plagued team that was put together with Murray's gum and toothpicks.
Pick: Clemson to cover. Clemson's front 7 is going to be put to the test as Gurley embarrassed them last year. However without Murray, expect Clemson to commit fully to the run and stack the box

This Abilene Christian and Georgia State game has been pretty damn entertaining so far. Georgia State scores a late TD to take a 21-16 lead going into the half.
Just glad to watch some meaningful football.
Hoping Georgia State pulls this one out.......by at least 4.5 points ;)

Really looking forward to seeing Everett Golson's growth. What I'm not looking forward to is Under Armour f**king with our uni.
