NCAA Football WEEK 1 Thread - Page 2 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Bolded part is odd. FSU is ~50th in the nation and GT ~70th. So it doesn't really matter that they have them at home. Would be much better to have NCSt and Pitt at home as they have the potential to be good. Pretty nice for Clemson that they somehow avoid 2nd-4th in their conference.

That being said, I appreciate that people can still pretend that FSU is good.

At least Norvell's putting together FSU's first decent recruiting class in awhile and got #2 in America to commit.

GT returns 83% of production and FSU returns 73% (which I think doesn't count Milton and other xfers), NC State returns 76% and Pitt is at 73%

The returning talent index has FSU and GT ahead of NCS and Pitt, though it's all pretty close

Talent Composite

FSU has more 4*s than Pitt/NCS combined (29 vs 15 and 12, GT has 16).

Doesn't mean that they are necessarily better than either of those teams, but probably means they have more upside / higher ceiling, which is what you care more about when talking about ability to beat Clemson

Hit LSU hard at -3. UCLA won't be able to push around LSU like they did Hawaii and DTR can't hit the broad side of a barn. I expect LSU to get a defensive/ST score, probably from a DTR miscue.

SUP CFBers? Probably not around that much this season; I’m in a masters program in data necromancy and otherwise occupied with work and screwing.

I’ll take the opposite of Tennessee -35 (just expecting them to be a trainwreck)
UNC -5.5 @ VT
Texas -8 vs ULaLa. Actually, “8” is about the YPP I expect UT to get on rushes.
UTSA -5.5 & +175ml to upset Illinois (I got at -7)

Other than Arkansas -19.5, I’m betting every SEC team fails to cover spreads of more than 2 tds.

There was that year that UTe got in a tough battle with UMASS. I don't think the Vols technically trailed but the 4th quarter was a 1 score game with lot's of punting.

Looking forward to seeing if Gus Malzahn has changed anything how he coaches/calls a game tonight at ucf. Wonder if he’s back to calling plays? He went back and forth between calling and not calling plays at Auburn all the time. I imagine he’ll be back to calling plays at ucf.

first game in the new bounce house for ucf and they're favored by around a td. my hunch is BSU keeps it closer than that but i have no skin in the game.

Announcers have no idea how the replay officials were able to see ECU didn’t get a touchdown when they were watching video of Appalachian State intercept the ball.

Sometimes stupid penalties can really penalize you.
