Old School Meets New School
The Kentucky Wildcats open up SEC play when they visit South Carolina on Saturday. Kentucky upset the Gamecocks in Lexington last season, but is still looking for that elusive SEC road win. The Wildcats haven’t won a conference road game since 2009, going 0-20 SU and 5-15 ATS in that stretch....
Almost 700 yards and 76 points later, the Ole Miss Rebels put up one of the most impressive wins of the first week of the college football season when they thrashed Tennessee-Martin 76-3. They'll get tested just a bit more than that on Saturday against the Fresno State Bulldogs, but don't be stunned if the result is once again lopsided....
If the SEC season goes anything like the opening game of the year did for the Vanderbilt Commodores, don't expect to see a lot of "anchoring down." The 'Dores tend to be a little frisky in games like these, but the Georgia Bulldogs are certainly game for the challenge of heading to Nashville for their SEC opener on Saturday....
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights narrowly earned a 41-38 victory last season against the Washington State Cougars. Washington State was 7.5-point favorites in that one as they hosted Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights behind Paul James ran all over Washington State. Look for a similar situation here a year later....
The tradition of Labor Day college football has become a mainstay in recent years, but this is an odd year from the standpoint that the defending champs, the Ohio State Buckeyes are going to be the ones closing out Week 1 instead of a more traditional ACC game. An ACC team is still hosting though, and it just happens to be the same Virginia Tech Hokies team which was the only one to beat the Buckeyes in 2014....
The Penn State Nittany Lions were embarrassed in their season opener as they couldn’t get anything going on offense and struggled to slow down the opposing running game. They’ll get another shot on Saturday, this time at home against the Buffalo Bulls....
Back in 2009, the Florida State Seminoles were reeling. Perhaps the bottom came when they were beaten at home by the South Florida Bulls in an ugly 17-7 game which also happened to mark the pinnacle of success for USF.With the Seminoles back on top and the Bulls back in the middle of the pack in a middling AAC, the two teams will meet again in Tallahassee on Saturday....
Toss out all the records when these in-state rivals meet. The Utah State Aggies have been seeking respect from their football playing brethren in the state since they started playing football. They can make a statement with a win over Utah on Friday, hoping to catch the Utes on a letdown following a beating of Michigan....
Eight of the nation's Top 25 teams are on the road this weekend, and that could create some dramatic results on the college football Week 2 odds....
The No. 1 ranked Buckeyes will head to Blacksburg Labor Day night looking to make good on the lone blemish incurred against the Hokies last season even though they still went on to win the program’s eighth national title....
The Alabama Crimson Tide have had a good history of late against Big Ten teams, and they have really dominated their openers, which tend to be against good clubs. They've got a real test on their hands on Saturday against the Wisconsin Badgers though, the same club which came from behind to beat Auburn in the Outback Bowl last season....
The Washington Huskies suffered blow after blow in the offseason, the biggest of which was losing quarterback Cyler Miles to a sudden retirement. Now, they have to head to the Smurf Turf to take on the Boise State Broncos in the first return to Idaho for Petersen since he left the job which made him famous....
The MEAC and the SWAC have a new tradition in which two of their teams will play against each other to kick off the season in Orlando.This year, the Arkansas Pine Bluff Lions and the South Carolina State Bulldogs will be the teams doing the honors in the Sunshine State....
These two teams last met back in 2012 with Purdue taking the game 51-41, though Marshall beat the spread. The Thundering Herd get to host the game this time around and based on last year have a huge edge. The team is coming off a great year while Purdue managed just three wins and were outscored 32-24....
Any time you've got a coach which goes 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm, you have to be wary that there's a seat which is a tad on the warm side. That's what Todd Monken faces in his third year with the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, a season which starts at home against the Mississippi State Bulldogs....
The world will be introduced to one of the nation's most talented and sought-after recruits on Saturday when the UCLA Bruins debut freshman Josh Rosen against the Virginia Cavaliers....
The ACC made some huge strides last season knocking off the SEC time after time in their annual meetings at the end of the year. Now, we have another case where an ACC team is getting little respect against one of the members of the seemingly more talented SEC.The Louisville Cardinals though, are no joke whatsoever heading into their opening game against the Auburn Tigers....
Once again the expectations are as high as the preseason ranking for Notre Dame, which begins the year ranked 11th in the AP Poll. Not so much for Texas following a disappointing 2014 in coach Charlie Strong’s first season. If Texas can pull off the upset, then all of a sudden the Big 12 might not be all about TCU and Baylor this year. The Irish have a history of not living up to its preseason hype. Could 2015 be another one of those years?...
The last time Brian Kelly had this talented of a team on his roster, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish played for the National Championship. Getting to the second College Football Playoff isn't out of the question this year for the Golden Domers either, but they'll have to get past the Texas Longhorns first to open up the year....
The No. 1 team in the land and defending national champions open the season against the team that nearly made the title impossible. Ohio State was caught in a bad place last year and was embarrassed in the Horseshoe. Don’t expect that to happen this season. The Buckeyes visit Virginia Tech on Monday with revenge on their mind when the teams open their season on ESPN....
USC has gotten the royal treatment this summer. Mentioned in national championship talk the Trojans are a stacked team and now get a chance to live up to the hype. It’s also a chance to talk about something other than head coach Steve Sarkisian’s poor judgment. Cody Kessler also gets a head start in the Heisman race facing Arkansas State in the opener Saturday night. A favorite out of the Sun Belt Conference, the Red Wolves will take their lumps but will be battle-tested once conference play beg...
After having their seasons end by the same opponent in 2014, the Wisconsin Badgers and Alabama Crimson Tide meet in the marquee matchup of the opening weekend of college football. Both teams enter ranked in the top 20 with Bama at No. 3, but both are faced with a number of questions, particularly on offense. With a pair of stout defenses, the under is gaining traction....
The BYU Cougars were once a 4-0 team ranked in the Top 20 in America in 2014. They finished out the season in poor form when they lost Taysom Hill to a broken leg.It's tricky to wager on or against the Cougs at this point without seeing him play since the injury, but bettors will get a chance to do some damage in live betting on Saturday if he is right against th Nebraska Cornhuskers....
Arizona State and Texas AM made over bettors plenty of coin last season with their explosive offenses. The Sun Devils ended 2014 with a 4-1 run on the total while the Aggies cashed the over in three of their final four to close the season. So the defenses better be ready when these schools meet for the first time ever, playing on a neutral field in Houston on Saturday....
We’ve all seen it time and time again. A ranked team an underdog to an unranked team, usually on the road. It isn't actually this way, but it feels like at least 90 percent of the time, the favored unranked team ends up on top, sometimes by a really comfortable margin.Clearly, live bettors should know that the Arizona State Sun Devils are on "upset alert" even though they are underdogs against the Texas A&M Aggies in Houston on Saturday night....
