Man. Both of you taking Maryland over Texas?? Point spread I'd do that but not straight up! You are some brave souls. I envy your confidence and hope to God you're right!

I have faith!

Still think the Horns are overrated combined with my feeling that the Terps will surprise more than a few folks this year.

Texas has been hyped up as being back and rebuilt, their cocky attitude will cost them the game.

The Iowa-Wyoming game was surprisingly hard to predict for me. Should be a good game. Don't screw up Iowa!

Wyoming still has the coach that beat Iowa with NDSU right?

Wyoming's coach, Craig Bohl, coached at NDSU for a number of years but did not play Iowa as the coach at NDSU. Last season, NDSU did beat Iowa. Wyoming went 8-6 and lost in the conference championship of the MWC. If I remember correctly, they were on a nice stretch during the season but got pretty banged up and fell off at the very end. Their quarterback is getting a lot of hype for being the possible first pick in the NFL draft.

Games I am unsure about:
Nevada @ Northwestern
Ball State @ Illinois
Florida State @ Alabama
N.C. State @ South Carolina
Michigan @ Florida

In four of the games I'm unsure about it is because who knows what Nevada, Northwestern, Ball State, Illinois, N.C. State, South Carolina, Michigan or Florida are really going to have this year.

For Alabama / Florida State the best defense will win if the turnovers are at least equal.
