College Football: Predictions for Big East Games on Opening Weekend

Finally, the most wonderful time of the year has arrived. No, it’s not Christmas or your birthday…it's college football season!

As the season draws down to only hours before the first kickoff on Thursday, there are tons of questions out there regarding top tier programs in the nation. 

Will the Crimson Tide repeat as National Champions?

How will sanctions affect USC and other teams that had the NCAA investigate their respective programs over the summer?

Will there by any more musical chairs of conference expansion after a summer of address changes for many teams after the Big Ten got the ball rolling at the end of last season?

All those questions and surely more will be answered as the college football season will start tomorrow and kick into full gear this Saturday.

Enjoy Big East football fans and be sure if I picked your team to win on Opening Week.
