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

blew chunks, all of his major stats declining from his sophomore season. He does have #1 WR recruit Julio Jones to throw to now, who I think will be this years freshman standout. Glen Coffee, who somehow overtook Terry Grant for the starting RB spot, is a solid runner who is consistent if nothing else, and should keep the pace of the game. Julio Jones will surprise the Clemson secondary, and start his college career with a nice bang, which, incidentally, is how I hope to start mine. Alabama- 27-21

#10 Auburn Vs. LA-Monroe- (26)- Auburn has the new spread offense, with Texas Tech transfer Chris Todd (I bet he is still sad about missing out on leading that offense), and Kodi Burns expected both to play. Auburn had a terrible time trying to score last year for the most part, and I doubt they will have their offense down for the first game of the year. They will win, but will not score enough to cover. LA-M covers. Auburn- 35-14

#11 Texas Vs. Florida Atlantic- (24)- UT had trouble to start the season last year, and with their 2 best playmakers on offense gone this season, I predict the same problems this season. FAU's QB is better than Colt McCoy, I am calling it right now. Texas wins, but FAU covers. Texas- 35-24

#12 Texas Tech Vs. Eastern Washington- (31)- Tech lets Harrell play the whole game, and he throws for 650 yards and 8 Touchdowns. Texas Tech- 81-20

#13 Wisconsin Vs. Akron- (26)- Wisconsin surprises the world and comes out and plays the game with no QB, just P.J Hill. I kid, I kid. But they do have a quarterback, he just happens to be a specialty type of QB. No, not a pocket passer, or a dual threat, but more of a handoff QB. If he sticks to that plan, Wisconsin has success this season. Wisconsin- 49-10

#14 Kansas Vs. Florida International- (36)- Kansas beat FIU 55-3 last year, and will repeat it this year. Look for Kerry Meier to have a few nice punts, a TD catch, and a TD pass as he is the punter, WR, and backup QB. Kansas- 59-10

#15 Arizona St. Vs. Northern Arizona- (No Spread)- ASU last lost to NAU in 1938, 'nuff said. Arizona State- 56-7

#16 Brigham Young Vs. Northern Iowa- (No Spread)- Motivation for BYU players to make a BCS bowl this season? Take away their mandatory Mormon mission. Just a suggestion. BYU- 56-10

#17 Virginia Tech Vs. East Carolina- (8.5)- VTech goes back to a set QB, and let's hope Glennon is able to keep his job at the start of this season. VT lost so much of it's defense to the NFL last year, I heard that the Oakland Raiders have dibs on every VT player who makes a tackle this season as well. ECU can score, but their defense isn't even good enough to stop VT it seems. VT- 31-21

#18 Tennessee Vs. UCLA- (7.5)- A monday game.

#19 South Florida Vs. Tenn-Martin- (No Spread)- South Florida tried to make it seem like this would be a real game, hyping up Tenn-Martin as a school with "A lot of heart, it takes a lot to be able to find enough players to field a team at a school that not even the Dean's daughter has heard of." South Florida- 49-6
