Predicting the College Football Season: Part One
By on August 27, 2008

There was Pete Rose's record amount of hits. Then there was the undefeated 1972 Dolphins. Who could forget the Chicago Bulls' 72-win season in 1995-96?
Of course, we also have Wilt "the Stilt" Chamberlain scoring 100 points in one single game of hoops.
And then we have the granddaddy of them all.
Just five days ago, a young man by the age of 16 had a daunting task in front of him: to predict every single game of the 2008 college football season.
He took the challenge head-on and crushed any and all things that confronted his magical journey. And today, that journey is complete.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, here it is, Mitchell Morse's (mj122345mcm's to some) complete college football prediction. It's right here. The double dashes after an opponent on a team's schedule indicates a win. A loss has no dashes. Simple enough.
I did do some conference previews with predictions, but the records in this blog override the previous ones, because I have researched both teams in every single game.
Now there may be some mistakes in this blog, as I may have been tired during a lot of this. If there is an FCS team beating an FBS team, it is an error and I would appreciate if you helped me out in correcting this by posting it in the comments below.
All feedback is greatly appreciated; please, please, please, leave a comment. If I don't get enough comments this year, I will not likely do this again. If I get loads of comments, I very well may do it next year.
But let's get to the point. Here are the predictions, starting with the ACC and Boston College, and ending with the WAC and Utah State, with every other FBS team in between:
