Old School Meets New School
Louisville has a chance to make a statement in its opener, for itself and the ACC. Coach Bobby Petrino has started strong in his second go around with the program, winning nine games last season and improving the overall collection of talent. With an upset of Auburn Saturday on CBS in a neutral site matchup, the Cardinals will send a strong message that Florida State and Clemson will have company in the ACC title chase....
The student gets a chance to school the teacher when the Boise State Broncos host the Washington Huskies on ESPN Friday.Washington coach Chris Petersen is back in Boise, where he became an icon of the sport for eight seasons, posting a 92-12 record with four top-10 finishes. He’ll face his former assistant Bryan Harsin, who has the Broncos ranked 23rd and the favorite to be the non-Power 5 conference team to play in a New Years Six bowl....
Baylor’s potent offense will have a new director in Seth Russell, but the production shouldn’t slack with a pair of 1,000-yard receivers. Running back Shock Linwood, who gained over 1,200 yards, also returns to operate behind an O-line that is intact.The Bears have won 11 straight over SMU, covering the spread in the last five....
One of the reasons Nebraska fired Bo Pelini last December was because his teams “weren’t good enough in the games that mattered”, according to the school’s athletic director. The Cornhuskers aren’t going to waste any time seeing if Mike Riley can succeed, as they hope to extend their FBS best season-opening win streak to 30 games Saturday when they play BYU for the first time....
For the second time in the last three seasons, the North Carolina Tar Heels and the South Carolina Gamecocks will open up the season against each other. Back in 2013 though, these two played at Williams Brice Stadium, and the Heels were given little chance to succeed. This year at a neutral site, many are giving UNC a shot at a big upset....
Week 1 of the college football season is always the screwiest for line movement. Parlay the fact that no one really knows what we are getting yet out of any of these teams since they haven't been on the field with the fact that odds are posted weeks in advance instead of just six days before kickoff, and you've got the recipe for a lot of line movement.Below, take a look at some of the biggest movers and shakers of the opening week of the college football season....
The Jameis Winston era is over in Tallahassee, and with that comes a real sense that the Florida State Seminoles are about set to take a step backwards. They shouldn't struggle against the Texas State Bobcats in the opener, though you never know with an entirely new team being built by Jimbo Fisher....
The last few years have been a struggle for a Florida team that’s used to be atop the SEC standings. They’ll look to get things kicked off right this week in a showdown against the Aggies. New Mexico State comes into play having lost their last 10 games SU and six straight ATS to end last year....
There's a new kid on the block in the ranks of the FBS.The Georgia Southern Eagles brought to the table an awesome triple-option attack which few were really ready for last year, and they could give some problems to the West Virginia Mountaineers as well to kick off 2015....
After being snubbed from the College Football Playoff last season, TCU doesn’t intend to be left out again. The Horned Frogs know that the best way to do that is an unbeaten regular season. The No. 2 team in the country will try to take the first step toward that lofty goal Thursday on the road against a Minnesota team set on revenge....
The border battle kicks off the college football season when North Carolina and South Carolina meet on ESPN Thursday in Charlotte. Expectations aren’t high for either club but one thing both squads did last year was score points. South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier is going through a transition with his team but he still owns a 23-2 record in openers....
The much anticipated return of Jim Harbaugh to the collegiate coaching ranks has overshadowed the fact that his Wolverines still have plenty of room for improvement. Harbaugh has a history of success, turning around the Stanford program before heading to the NFL for the past four seasons.Now he’s back at his alma mater, attempting to break an 0-8 ATS skid against Pac-12 foes, the last two of which came against the Utes....
The Volunteers find themselves ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time in a while heading into the year and are fresh off a 45-28 Bowl victory over Iowa.They’re set to come on strong to start the year as they battle the Falcons from Bowling Green....
UTEP coach Sean Kugler led the Miners to their first bowl game in five years last season and has done a solid job rebuilding the program quickly in his third year. So too has Arkansas coach Brett Bielema in his third season, and the Hogs won seven games including a bowl game last year with a very strong finish to the season.The Razorbacks are far too physical and strong for UTEP in this opening game....
Mark Richt has made it a point this offseason to let his Georgia Bulldogs know that they are going to be a more physical team this year than they have been in the past, particularly on the offensive side of the ball.That could be really bad news for the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks, who are probably going to end up leaving Athens just happy to have been paid for showing up....
There weren't many teams in America who took more great strides forward than did the Western Michigan Broncos. They aren't going to beat one of the Top 10 ranked teams in America, the Michigan State Spartans in Week 1, but there is certainly legitimate enough reason to believe they can at least make life a living nightmare on the men clad in green....
The Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic should be a good one Saturday as No. 6 Auburn tackles under-rated Louisville in the Georgia Dome.The Tigers will play numerous newcomers and freshman on defense, and both teams have limited returning personnel on offense....
The Big Ten football season is back with all of the teams in action in Week 1. The conference is led by the defending National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes, who are ranked No. 1 in all the polls. Michigan State and Wisconsin are the only other two ranked teams, No. 5 and No. 20, respectively.
Nebraska, Wisconsin and Michigan all have new coaches. The Cornhuskers hired Mike Riley, Jim Harbaugh was named the Wolverines coach and the Badgers hired Paul Chryst.
It should be another exciting season in the ground and pound Big Ten Conference, and there are some interesting non-conference matchups this weekend....
In what might be one of the most bizarre non-conference battles of the entire 2015 college football season, the Oklahoma State Cowboys will open up the season on the road against the Central Michigan Chippewas on Thursday....
Is this the year the Colorado Buffaloes finally get their acts together after their last three coaches combined to go 31-79 with four double-digit loss seasons since 2006? Many feel that to be the case, so a game against a poor Hawaii Warriors program, even out on the islands, seems like it shouldn't be all that big of a deal....
A key neutral site matchup on ESPN kicks off the season Thursday and North Carolina brings the stronger and superior offense against favored South Carolina....
Football is just a few days from officially being back! It's all going to start off with the opening games on Thursday and will continue through the end of the second annual College Football Playoff early in January.

After back-to-back losses to Boise State and Oregon dampened an otherwise solid season last year, the Wildcats will look to make a statement in their series opener as they host a UTSA Roadrunners team that nearly upset them last year....
