NCAA Football Week 1 Game Predictions

Saturday September 3rd

South Florida @ #16Notre Dame, NBC 12:30pm
-This is expected to be a good game and some are picking the upset with USF. I'm just not ready to buy USF QB BJ Daniels and I've at least seen promise out of the Fighting Irish.
USF 20, Notre Dame 31

Minnesota @ #25 USC, ABC 12:30pm
-USC will win this game but the telling sign will be by how much. The defense needs to show it can dominate a weak Golden Gopher team. Look for Matt Barkley to chuck the ball around with success.
Minnesota 16, USC 38

UCLA @ Houston, 12:30pm
-UCLA beat this team at home last year but that was without Houston QB Case Keenum for most of the game. The key for UCLA will be to limit the big plays from Keenum and to slow the game down with their running attack. I see the Bruins playing well enough on the road to pull out the win.
UCLA 26, Houston 24

BYU @ Ole Miss, 1:45pm
-This one is an intriguing one as BYU probably has the better team but this will be in an SEC atmosphere and Ole Miss is sure to have some athletic bodies. I see the Rebels getting the home win as BYU makes too many errors.
BYU 30, Ole Miss 38

Fresno St @ Cal, 4pm
-This is technically a home game for Cal but it's being play away from campus and Fresno St. has sold twice as many tickets. This should be a close one.
Fresno St. 20, Cal 23

Tulsa @ #1Oklahoma, 5pm
-Oklahoma are big favorites but I think Tulsa will hang around longer than expected. Oklahoma should win at home but don't be shocked if Tulsa QB GJ Kinne can make some nice plays.
Tulsa 27, Oklahoma 41

#3Oregon vs. #4LSU, ABC 5pm
-This year the Cowboy Classic, played in Dallas, features two national title contenders as the Ducks and Tigers face off. This should be a close game as Oregon boasts a great offense while LSU's defense is one of the best in the country. LSU slows down the Ducks early but doesn't have enough offense to hold on.
Oregon 31, LSU 24

#5Boise St. @ #19Georgia, ESPN 5pm
-Boise St. comes in as slight favorites but many are picking Georgia. If I've learned anything by watching the Broncos, it's to not pick against them in big games. Boise St. overcomes losses at key positions and pulls one out late against the Bulldogs.
Boise St. 30, Georgia 24
