Florida Int'l (free agent) at Miami-Fl (Goldy)
Remember this...
Too bad there won't be enough scoring in this one to rile up emotions...
Arkansas (Hensh) at Alabama (Baradel)
The SEC is going to be fun to watch this year. Coach Saban's first real test at 'Bama, and hopefully Coach Nutt won't be distracted with any sideline texting this season.
Louisville (Goggles) at Kentucky (Baradel)
My upset special for the week. The game may come down to dueling Heisman contenders Brian Brohm and Andre' Woodson trading TDs. Woodson's three from the corner at the buzzer gives the Wildcats the win.
Boston College (Baradel) at Georgia Tech (Charlie)
Given the ACC's demise this year, this game seems destined to be replayed in Jacksonville for the conference title in December. I guess you have to give GT the advantage for actually winning a game out-of-conference already.
USC (Goggles) at Nebraska (Brock)
The Trojans' lead in the polls narrowed significantly this week after LSU's impressive performance against Va Tech. And as Tim Griffin reports, Bill Callahan is looking for a statement game to open his tenure in Lincoln. Game on

Week 2 preview (Part 1)
Well, Week 1 is behind us. Yawn. Oh, unless you are Goldy who is in the unenviable position of ridiculing himself.
The first "real" week of the season has arrived with some Keith Jackson "Oh, Nellie, they won't be huskin' any corn in Nebraska today, because everyone is in Lincoln for the BIG GAME" contests on tap.
Here is one review and several previews of Week 2
MTSU (Goldy) 42 at Louisville (Goggles) 58
Giving up 42 points (35 first half) and 555 total yards to a middling Sun Belt team is not a recipe for impressing voters. Goggles just lost the razor thin margin for error that he gave himself by only buying three teams.
Miami (Goldy) at Oklahoma (Easty)
Believe it or not, this inter-sectional rivalry has been dormant for almost twenty years. The Jimmy Johnson-led Hurricanes secured the National Championship with a 20-14 win in the '88 Orange Bowl last time they played (the Sooners lost three games '85-'87, all to Miami). Maybe Michael Irvin is taking some post-graduate classes, Miami might need him.
Oregon (Easty) at Michigan (Goldy)
Goldy and I are matching up well this weekend (did you get the App St t-shirt that I FedExed??). I want to watch this one just to see Lloyd Carr facial expressions.
Hawaii (Charlie) at Louisiana Tech (free agent)
A rare chance to see Charlie's Rainbows in action before midnight...and against an unclaimed team (so we can all root for 100 points). Do you realize that Hawaii didn't call a running play until the 4th quarter of their dismantling of Northern Colorado?
TCU (Goldy) at Texas (Baradel)
A stern test for the Longhorns coming off an unimpressive showing. My pick for an upset special.
Virginia Tech (Henshon) at LSU (Bart)
Baton Rouge is the place where national championship aspirations come to die; problem is LSU still looked like they had some kinks to work out early before finishing off Mississippi St. The pity meter will approach stratospheric levels--Bayou Bengals by a touchdown.
And here are the current standings...
Team Rank Pts
Goldberg 9 41
Bart 5 81
Jerry 3 85
Henshon 8 53
Goggles 4 82
Brock 1 98
Easty 6 76
Charlie 10 34
Coleman 2 94
Baradel 7 73
