Predictions for the 2013 College Football Season

After surviving the dog days of summer, it's time for college football fans to finally rejoice, because the 2013 season has officially arrived. 

Defending champion Alabama enters the season as the prohibitive favorite to take home another national title, which would solidify Nick Saban's squad's status as one of the greatest dynasties in the history of the sport. There are, however, plenty of Davids out there looking to knock down college football's so-called Goliath.

With so many great players returning in every conference, 2013 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting and memorable seasons that we've seen in years. 

Here are the full predictions for how everything will play out this fall.
