I agree with everything you said, D, and I also think Penn St has a good shot at upsetting the Badgers in Madison. But, don't tell this to Fondy, he called me a dirty tramp when I told him this.
Anyone around to talk football?

If they got 2-4 in their big games, it's a push. I just don't see them losing 5 out of those 6.
Like this one as well. Ole Miss will not miss the two stooges that took snaps for them last season. BJGE is gone at RB, but Michael Oher can open up wholes that an 18-wheeler can fit through, so the running game should remain somewhat decent. If Ole Miss falls behind early though, their offense will fall on the arm of an unproven QB, which could be detrimental to their success. I agree that Memphis, Samford, Vandy, and ULM should all be W's. As much as I dislike them, the Rebs play tough conference ball and should make Arkansas win number five. A victory over Bama and/or Miss St is not far-fetched either. The Rebs could finish as high as third in the SEC West.
CMU will get destroyed by UGA in Wk2, then have conference foe Ohio in Wk3. I am hoping for a big spread on this one to bet CMU.
Purdue will be a one-sided team this year, and with that one side being the offense that lost their stable of WRs, it could get ugly for the Boilermakers this year.

Im just posting what I sent to Marlo regarding those b2b in Wisconsin schedule. Ohio St and Penn St
Those are def. the 2 I am worried about. Actually theres one more early in the season AT Fresno. For some reason just dont have a real good feeling about that one. Trying to break in a new QB and going to be his first true road test I could see them losing that one. But out of the Big 10 games I think they honestly beat OSU and lose to PSU. But Im in love with PSU this year so maybe thats why I feel that way. I guess we will find out though

I finally get home and want to talk football and now nobody else wants to do it. Lets go. Atleast for another 40 minutes. Just lets start throwing random questions/thoughts/predictions out there. Makes it a lot more interesting

Kinda like the Over 6 Wins for my Heels this year, as worst case I see on this one would be a push. I think they have a legit shot at 7, maybe 8 if a couple breaks go their way. I think we get the Hokies in a perfect spot at home, so I would not be surprised if we pulled the upset there. ND is another home game where we could pull out a win. Rutgers, even on the road is a winnable game, as it will be pretty even matched. Miami is a road game that isn't an automatic loss, as I think the Heels and Canes will be fairly evenly matched this year. Let me know what you guys think, as I have posted my projected season breakdown below...

Most probably think the MAC is the most improved conference this year but i think its the ACC. A lot of very evenly matched teams in my estimation.
I think you are doing unc a disservice with a toss up in chapel hill with ncstate . and the virginia game is a toss up not a loss. Why would at virginia be a loss and at a much better maryland team be a toss up ??
This team has a tough schedule. It is even tougher since they dont get georgia tech in the beginning of the year but later when that team has really started to get a handle on the option.
likely wins
mcnees , uconn , georgia tech ( though its tricky ), at virginia, ncstate , duke
toss ups
at rutgers , vs virginia tech , notre dame , boston college
likely losses
at maryland , at miami fl
thats how i see it. i like the over 6. no real unwinnable games on the entire schedule .... not too many days off either but they never travel off the east coast !!!!!
wish i could be here for this thread tonight but going to a taco party. talk to you guys later.
Grats on a great head coach who will recruit his ass off , cb and grats on the upcoming season .. i think you guys make noise.

Thanks for the feedback VK.
My replies to some of your comments are in carolinablue of course haha.

We have lost something like 13 in a row in Charlottesville so that is the main reason I have that one down as a likely loss rather than a toss up. For some reason they just seem to have our number there, so that's why I put it as an L. Doesn't necessarily mean I think we will lose, just the projected outcome based on history and how the teams matchup this year.
As far as Maryland goes, we have had much better success in College Park, so the HFA won't be as strong for the Terps as it is for the Cavs, since the intensity of the rivalry doesn't come close to matching the one we have with UVA.
This team has a tough schedule. It is even tougher since they dont get georgia tech in the beginning of the year but later when that team has really started to get a handle on the option.
I actually like the fact we get Va Tech early on as I would much rather get them early than GT, as I think this will be a transition year for the Jackets, as they will be better by the end of the season, but I think they won't get the results until at least next year. I see Tech losing a lot of close games kinda like we did, but guess we will see.

Yeah, that is why I think the over 6 is a solid bet, even though I won't personally be playing it as I don't like having any cash tied up on futures, so I don't bet them myself, but figured I would throw it out there as I know a lot of guys like to play around with em here and there.
Thanks again for the discussion. Watching the LSU v Kentucky game from last year on FSN right now and it is getting me more fired up for the season to start haha.

Completely agree. We have a number of games on the schedule that may be looked back on in a few years as the turning point in the Butch Davis regime, and the Miami game this year on the road is one of em. Others are Va Tech and Notre Dame at home.
