Okay, let's move on to Week 1 of the 2008 College Football season.
Key Games of Week 1:
Alabama vs. Clemson (in Atlanta, Georgia)
Arguably the game of the week, this ACC vs. SEC showdown features two teams, each with the potential to win their respective divisions.
The Clemson Tigers begin the 2008 College Football season, in the same manner that they finished the 2007 College Football season - playing an SEC West foe, in the Georgia Dome.
Unfortunately, in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl... Tommy Bowden (once again) FAILED to TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIS OWN BUSINESS, as his Clemson Tigers LOST to the Auburn Tigers, 23-20, in OVERTIME!!!
However, Tommy Bowden hopes to make 2008 the year, in which he FINALLY takes BETTER care of his own business. Bowden takes a step in this direction, as his Clemson Tigers defeat the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Winner: Clemson
Missouri vs. Illinois (in St. Louis, Missouri)
Once again, these two teams clash in Week 1 of the College Football season. Last season's meeting between these two teams was an instant classic, as the Missouri Tigers held on, and defeat the Illinois Fighting Illini, 40-34.
However, the Illinois Fighting Illini are faced with the loss of Rashard Mendenhall... while the Missouri Tigers essentially return everyone from its 2007 team, which finished the season with a 12-2 record, and Cotton Bowl victory.
With that being said, look for the Missouri Tigers to come away with a convincing win over the Illinois Fighting Illini.
Winner: Missouri
Appalachian State @ LSU
Last season, the Appalachian State Mountaineers SHOCKED THE WORLD, by UPSETTING the Michigan Wolverines, 34-32 in Ann Arbor, during Week 1 of the College Football season.
This season, the Appalachian State Mountaineers will SHOCK THE WORLD, AGAIN... This time, by UPSETTING the LSU Tigers, AT Tiger Stadium.
Winner: Appalachian State
