Best Non-Texas Matchups Week 1

[westx]

Slim pickins this week-not a lot to choose from as far as quality matchups go.

 

Colorado at Georgia Tech (-6.5):  I have no clue, but I'll take GT at home.

 

Clemson at #11 LSU (-10):  Clemson has Chad Morris at OC, but not sure that will even help.  I expect LSU to win comfortably and cover.

 

Wisconsin at #4 Notre Dame (-20.5):  ND is solid, but I am not sure they will cover 20pts.

 

#24 Louisville at #9 Ole Miss (-7):  Tough to call this one.  If I had to pick the Dog of the week, I would pick Louisville to beat Ole Miss.  

 

#19 SMU(-3.5) at FSU:  I would have probably picked FSU at home, but damn, they made NMSU look somewhat competitive.  I'll take SMU.

 

Who do you guys have?  Is there a game I didn't list that should have?

- Baylor vs Auburn should be good. 

- Boise St @ Oregon although Oregon should roll.

- Stanford is garbage and their fans don't care ($22 tickets available) otherwise Miami at Stanford might have a little intrigue.

One of our former OL should be starting for Baylor, I think Kibble?

Two huge games for the SEC 

If LSU or Ole Miss lose ... they will not make the playoff when looking at their schedules

If Louisville beats Ole Miss, they are set up to make a run to the playoff potentially (don't have Miami in reg season)

SMU by 14 after watching FSU play man they are not good. Tom Herman will be the head coach by week 6

Ole Miss has good things going for it and "should" be good, but the unknown factor of a new coaching staff has me non-believing or better said "not committed" to them until I see it.
