College Football Is Here... Week 1 Top 25 Predictions, Straight & Vs. Spread.

#1 Georgia Vs. Georgia Southern- (No Spread)- This one should be close, until the kickoff, after that point, i'm sensing a blow out. After all, I already knew Georgia was in the south, so how far South does Georgia have to be? Georgia- 58-13

#2 Ohio St. Vs. Youngstown St.- (No Spread)- Watch for Pryor to get to have some fun at some point during this game. YST's starting QB has completed one career pass, I give him an 85% chance of completing career pass #2 in this game. OSU- 45-6

#3 USC Vs. Virginia- (19.5)- Both Sanchez and Maualuga are expected to play, and that is great news. Virginia is not the same team as last year, and USC will be using this as a tuneup before they play OSU on Sept. 13, so expect them to get into a rhythm. USC Covers. USC- 49-21

#4 Oklahoma Vs. Chattanooga- (No Spread)- Chattanooga is terrible, and will look to survive long enough to avoid forfeiting. Oklahoma- 63-3

#5 Florida Vs. Hawaii- (35.5)- Florida has all of the tools to make a NC run, and although I expect them to take this game, I am confident in Hawaii's ability to stay within 5 TD's, if only for the fact that they will continue to throw and try to get their new receivers and QB accustomed to a tough D. Florida wins, but Hawaii covers. Florida- 56-28

#6 Missouri Vs. #20 Illinois- (8.5)- The marquee matchup this week for most CFB fans, and rightfully so. A matchup of two teams who had great seasons last year, and are expected to repeat, for the most part this year. Chase Daniel has matured in the last year, and I don't see Illinois being able to stage a comeback if they fall down early. Missouri wins and covers. Missouri- 42-27

#7 LSU Vs. Appalachian St.- (No Spread)- App. St. had the upset of the year last year, but LSU has played them before, and is better suited to handle their mobility. I have a feeling every Michigan fan in the world will be praying for the impossible, but don't worry Michigan fans, you will always be remembered. LSU- 38-10

#8 West Virginia Vs. Villanova- (No Spread)- I have bad news for WVU fans, you know that RB you have playing QB, Pat White? He wants to throw more this year... I wonder who gave him the idea that he was a real QB... They were successful last year because they attempted the 3rd-least amount of passes in the nation. But, they win this game, and Noel Devine picks up almost where Slaton left off. The less that Pat White passes, the more they will succeed. WVU- 42-19

#9 Clemson Vs. #24 Alabama- (4.5)- My personal game of the week. Clemson is looking to fulfill lofty expectations, as many have them pegged to win the ACC this year, after a 9-4 season in 2007 in which they lost a shot at the Conference title after a late-season loss to Boston College. They led the ACC in scoring last year, and return 7 starters on offense, including Cullen Harper, QB, and the backfield tandem James Davis/C.J. Spiller who are having to run behind a near-completely new O-Line.

Alabama went 7-6 last season, though none of those losses were by more than a touchdown. They had trouble scoring at times last year, mostly because QB John Parker Wilson basically
