Really nice slate of week one games. The lines are from Draft Kings.
Clemson vs. Fuck Georgia: (FUGA -13.5) These two will kick it off in the ATL, with Fuck Georgia a heavy favorite. Horse face, Carson Beck, is one of the leading Heisman candidates. Honestly, that’s the only player I can name for FUGA. Cade Clubfoot, is the QB for Climpsum. Ditto! My “expert” analysis is based on the fact that it’s well documented that Dabo hates the transfer portal, and NIL. He’s cruitin’ high schoolers and developing them. FUGA has been Bama level reloading talent and using the portal/NIL to their advantage. My analysis is simply, I would assume that FUGA will eventually overwhelm them with sheer talent and numbers. I think it’s fairly close for a while, though.
FUGA: 38
Clemson: 17
LSU vs. USC: (LSU -4) The Faux Tigers lit it up offensively last year behind Jayden Daniels. Choo people deedn’t leesin’ when I said he was the best in the SEC before the season started. Maybe you will now. No, scratch that. I suck at predictions, but I’ll give it the ole college try. Both teams start new QB’s with some cat named Miller Moss under center at USC, while LSU will start Garrett Nusshumper, or some shit. Both have limited experience, but have looked good when they got the chance.
Both defenses were epically bad last season with LSU coming in at #82 overall, and USC at an abysmal 121st. The Tigers brought in Blake Baker from Mizzou’s top 10 D, while USC stole cross-town rival, #14 D, UCLA’s coordinator. Expect both to be much improved. Can’t help but be better. The difference will be LSU’s O-line. One of the best, and most experienced in the country.
LSU: 31
USC: 21
Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M: (A&M -3) Probably the first year that it wasn’t “A&M’s year”. Not a ton of hype, but a lot of cautious optimism surrounding the Bon Fire Boys this year. Mike Elko comes over from Duke, where he turned the Debils into a competitive bunch. He’s one of those coaches, in one sense, like U Free, that you wonder how good he can be with virtually unlimited resources. Jimbo, The Greasy Car Salesman, was a total flop, but a lower key, Elko, could be what they need to start moving towards elite status in a year or two.
ND, I know nothing about other than Riley Reynolds, after a stint at Duke, and fresh off another Deadpool movie, will be under center. The Irish are always hyped as a shoe in for the playoffs. Still, give me A&M at home, with ESPN Game Day there pumping things up.
Texas A&M: 27
Notre Dame: 21
Alabama A&M vs. Auburn (AU -48) I’d say 48 is about right.
Auburn: 48
AA&M: 0
Feel free to opine and/or talk amongst yourselves. Or bugger off! Whatevah.

UGA romps 'em.
LSU/USC is tighter than expected, but the faux tigahs win. They don't cover, though!
I can't believe in A&M...but ND is an even bigger pretender. I guess I'll lean SEC on this one.
Auburn...pulls the starters at the half and errrrbody racks up stats.
-
Colorado 34, North Dakota State 24
Deion will probably boycott the press who didn't "believe" enough after his team beats a really good FCS team. NDSU is no slouch but there's a difference in talent levels, even if it's badly managed like the Buffaloes. Ralphie will run strong and September Heisman candidates Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders will flash bling and probably QR codes to their Venmo accounts with each big play.
Georgia 30, Clemson 24
I'm not selling all the fUGA stock just yet, but I do think Clemson will hang around in this one longer than the expert, Neo-socialist, atheistic sports media think they will because they all hate Dabo for daring to believe in Jesus and not want a team full of transfers. There are coaches out there who think this may be Kirby's most talented team. They have a long season to live up to that, but they should look strong out of the gate here.
West Virginia 19, Penn State 17
Calling for the upset of the James Franklin Nittany Lions out of the gate? You bet I am. They may have a defense but that offense is MIA until I see otherwise. Neal Brown saved hisself last year and he likes what he has in the couch burners this year. There won't be a safe place for a Laz-E-Boy after the 'Eers shock the system in Morgantown.
Florida 27, Miami 25
Go Gaytah gets off to a good start beating an over-ranked/under-coached Miami team (back end of that schedule is pure hell). I actually think Florida may look a lot better this year but their record won't show it because of the stretch of tough opponents. Miami hasn't done anything since the early 2000s and this won't be any different. Coach Meathead will also find a way to screw his own team. Again!
Notre Dame 16, Texas A&M 13
I'm not buying Texas 8&4 in the first year of a new regime. I don't care what the blue-chip ratio is or whatever. Consistency matters early in a season. Notre Dame knows what they are - physical defense, run the damn ball, play keep away - and they aren't going to be intimidated by the loud cult out west. They've seen it before and better. This game could be really ugly, but if you like rock fights in a ditch, this one is for you.
Auburn A LOT, Alabama A&M VERY LITTLE
Only thing Auburn loses is the band competition. Otherwise, it's cake-eating, stat-padding, roster clearing fun house on The Plainz!
LSU 44, USC 41
If you want fireworks, Vegas has got you. (Say a prayer for LVPD because the Red Stick crowd in Sin City is going to be a problem.) LSU probably won't have much of a defense. USC barely plays any defense. Both offenses are going to toss the bill around the lot a good bit. Video game offenses will be the order of the day and LSU's speed and depth play out for the win here, but I don't think Lincoln Riley's jimmy hats will go down easy.
Florida State 27, Boston College 6
BC sucks. FSU will look much better than they did in Dublin.

UGA romps 'em.
Saw a story this morning on the ESPN'z that they are thin on RB for this game.
Robinson I think is injured and had surgery.
Etienne is still in limbo from the driving incident.
And the other guy (also Robinson) last played in 2022 and hasn't played since he ruptured his patella tendon.
Wondering if Clemson's D strategy will be to make the UGA RBs beat them - quite the opposite of what we normally see.
-
Agree almost across the board with The Six.
Dark days, my guys.

I just don't think it matters. I think CU is living on a stale rep.

Clemson gets Cole Turner back at WR. They’ll be slangin it!

If the 3rd stringer goes down or isn't effective, it makes UGA 1 dimensional passing (without Bowers now too). Not sure it matters with 0:00 left in the 4Q but I kind of wonder if Six is on to something with CU hanging around longer/closer than they should.

Alex McPherson will not be kicking in the opener. Kid apparently really went through the ringer with a gastro disorder.
Also out for fUGA, Florida transport RB Trevor Etienne. Got popped for a Dewey which was reduced but guess Kirbster is into punishment now.

Dramatic comeback salvages the Buff's opener.
Lost in the Deion circus is the fact that Shedeur is a pretty great QB and Travis Hunter is playing ironman football...well.

Hunter I will give you is an exceptional athlete.
Shedeur? Besides the fact that his "great deep shots" were all fluttering ducks to wide open dudes because NDSU's defense couldn't close an umbrella, there's nothing great about the way he plays. He's backyard, go to the Buick and cut, kind of player. His OL does him zero favors either. They are terrible and that was against a FCS team (albeit, a decent one). Wait till they see a real pass rush. It's gonna be bloody.
Will that keep Deion from drafting them 1-2 when he takes over the Dallas Cowboys and trades away the whole team to get those picks? No, but there's little about Shedeur's game that smacks of greatness. He's great and making stuff up and getting clocked.
Colorado may be one of the most undisciplined teams I've ever seen.

Here's the scenario:
Buffs up 5 with the ball and under 2 minutes to go. Facing a 3rd and long in their own territory, Sheduer under pressure, heaves one long and gets bailed out by a defender who has his back turned to the play and runs through the receiver before the ball gets there. Clear PI, first down Buffs in NDSU territory with 1:34 left. The Bison have one time out.
What to do, what to do. Hmmm....I could run the ball once, make NDSU use the final time out, which would put it down to about 1:26. Next play, run it again and let the 40 second play clock get down to about 3 seconds before snapping it again, which would put the clock at about 45 seconds. Take a knee, or run it again....clock is out. Game over. Easy peazy, right?
No! Deion's dumb ass decides this would be a great time to take a shot down field. Ultimate result? The clock runs out with NDSU catching a hail Mary pass at the Buffalo 5 when time runs out. And his only reaction is being pissed at his players for not knocking the ball down on that last pass.
:facepalm:

Agreed. That's why:

I can't hate on the kid just because I dislike almost everything about the Dad.

Shedeur ain't worried about haters. Highest paid NIL athlete at $4 Mil +.

First one of many that popped up on Google, plus, they talked about it last night during the telecast. sportingnews.com
Sanders is rated as the highest-grossing NCAA athlete when it comes to NIL money. The Buffaloes quarterback is the only player with an On3 NIL valuation above $4 million — putting him ahead of his teammate Travis Hunter, LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, and Texas QB Arch Manning.
With another year of Sanders being one of the most recognizable names in college football, there's a good chance that value goes up by the time the 2025 NFL Draft comes around.

So there's a chance he becomes another Dak Prescott, overvalued and overpaid.

I disagree with a lot of this. Sanders? He's not a "quarterback" in any real sense of the word, unless you're counting the kids in your backyard as QBs. He does not read defenses. He does not set a pocket. He just backyard balls. Zero discipline. Maybe he turns out to be "something" at some point. I wouldn't want him on my team.
Hunter? He's doing what every 1A and most 2A players in the state of Alabama do. Even the linemen. Deserves credit for it, I guess, but what's the point other than to be a sideshow attraction?
Colorado and Sanders (all of them) are frauds.

I'm curious how Sanders would be behind even an average line. In 2023, he was sacked over 50 times, and the run game only averaged 2.3 yards a carry.

He's TJ Finley if Finley had a KFC contract.

Speaking of Finley, he starts out at LSU, transfers to Auburn, transfers to Texas State, and now he's at Western Kentucky. He had some nice stats last year for TSU, 279/414 67% 3,439.yards 24 TD and 8 INT
In a 63-0 loss to Bama, he was 18/31 for 92 yards 0/2. Why would you make a lateral move after decent success, and your first time being a full time starter?
