Well the time has come, college football is about to start! And as always we as writers and fans will try to determine who will win each week. Since this is my first year predicting games for Bleacher Report i will only do  in depth coverage games for 4 games in these first few weeks. Here we go!

1 Oregon-Boise St.

These two teams met last and had a great game in wich Boise St came out on top in the end.This year however they do not have Ian Johnson theire schools pride at the HB position.

 Oregon. The Ducks lost most of theire starters on both sides of the ball 12 to be exact, But they do get LaGarret Blount back who is a smash mouth runner with some good open field speed. The Ducks had a decent recruiting year with a few star commits wich should help ease the pain of loseing so much a theire starters last year.   

       Boise St. Like Oregon the Broncos lost alot of theire team they just didnt lose as much. The offense got theire Prised QB Kellen Moore back who is just starting in the college football world and is only a Sophmore coming into this season. Defense will probably have the toughest time with only 5 returing starters and only one returing D-linemen.

Overview. In this matchup we see two teams whos meeting the year before came down to 5 points ending with abroncos win. However This i do not see the same outcome do to Oregon haveing more talent and a more experienced backups taking key roles such as Qb and LB i see it beeing a close game but ending with a Oregon win.

2Alabama-VT

         These two team were both in BCS bowls last year, both were expected to win but only one did. Alabam lost big time to now two time BCS buster Utah, while VT won against first time BE champs Cincy. Both of these team are preseason top 10 and both have High expectations for this season.

VT. 

     VT last year was stunned by ECU in theire seaon kickoff and then recovered to finish 10-4 wich includes a BCS win over Cincy. Maby the most important fact about this team is they pulled Tyrod taylor out of his redshirt to start t QB wich may have saved theire season.With Taylor returing at QB they have maby the Second coming of Michael Vick. He is fast and has about as good as moves as vick and will need to improve on his accuracy and decision making as Vick did. With a 1,000 yd rusher back in Darren Evans plus 700 on the ground from Talyor this team has what it takes not oly win this matchup but maby bring some credibility back to the ACC. This team has 17 returing starters and tons of athleticism to make HC Frank Beamer one very happy coach.

Alabama.
