1. Florida State will not make a Bowl Game, and Bobby Bowden will retire after FSU plummets further into ACC irrelevancy, showing that the standoff between himself and Joe Pa can end before one of them dies.
2. Joe Paterno will not retire, then will die in March.
3. Brett Favre’s consecutive game streak will end.
4. This is the year the MAC makes its move into the big time. However you define big time.
5. Tom Brady will impregnate another model.
6. The single biggest acquisition in college football will prove to be Ron English, formerly the defensive coordinator of Michigan, moving to Louisville. English, along with incredibly accomplished special teams coordinator Mark Nelson, will allow second year Head Coach Steve Kragthorpe to focus on offense, his specialty.
And English brings an very steady hand and the Michigan toughness to the young Cardinals. Louisville’s first half schedule is a walk in the park compared to their second half schedule, which is full of ranked in-conference teams.
If English can get the defense together, look for them to surprise in the Big East and the 11/22 match up against West Virginia to loom a lot bigger than it looks today.
7. The best QB in the NFL this season will be David Garrard.
8. The QB with the best stats this season will be Jon Kitna.
9. Peyton Manning’s consecutive game streak will end.
10. Notre Dame wins five: San Diego St. and two out of three from: Stanford/UNC/Washington, Navy, Syracuse.
11. Speaking of UNC, I like them a lot. Overall, the ACC is down and their schedule is a bunch o’ cream puffs, including the aforementioned Fightin’ Irish.
12. Yeah, everyone loves Texas Tech, and that’s fine, but Texas is Texas in the same way Duke is Duke. Mack Brown brings his Longhorns to play, and everyone but maybe Oklahoma are a bunch of chokers.
13. Speaking of Oklahoma, Sam Bradford is the real deal.
14. Three overrated NFL teams: New Orleans, Minnesota, San Diego.
15. Three underrated NFL teams: Kansas City, Philadelphia, Detroit.
16. Love Mark Richt, and Georgia will have a head of steam heading into Baton Rouge. Don’t believe the hype—Matt Stafford is a bad player. Then will lose three of four, LSU, Florida then at Auburn two weeks later.
