Thoughts on College Football Weekend and Week 1 NFL Predictions

Good morning all!

What a weekend in college football. The most exciting game of the week took place on Monday as #3 Boise State outlasted #10 VA Tech in an incredible back-and-forth game. I think this win put Boise in a position to finally say they are a legitimate BCS contender, although their conference schedule leaves something to be desired. The Broncos only test for the rest of the year appears to be Oregon State...not ranked and in Boise. So, Boise State will need to win out and at least have Alabama or Ohio State lose.

Other great games include Jacksonville State upsetting Ole Miss on the Rebels home turf. This was an incredible JSU comeback win, as they trailed 31-10 at halftime. To win on a hail mary and a two-point conversion shows that FCS schools can hang with the big-time power conference schools, too. Ole Miss had many off-the-field distractions and I believe that karma came back to bite them big-time.

Looking ahead to the NFL schedule for Week 1, we make our predictions for the upcoming week. It's our "competition" on Triple Threat...between Mitch, Jerry, and I, and the Madden simulator, who will come out on top at the end of the NFL season?
