I know he played last year, and he did alright after taking over halfway through the season.

I want to see him with another year in Franklin's system with some better talent at the skill positions.

Vandy will never compete with the big boys of the SEC, but they might be able to knock off a team like South Carolina, who always seems to play down to their level of competition.

Shamecock defense, especially the front seven, will be damn good though. I expect Carolina to win, but won't be surprised if Vandy pulls off some shit.

Probably some bias as a student, but I think we should win solidly as long as we score early and often... The one uncertainty I think there is coming into this season at SC on defense is at CB. Vandy will be a sleeper again this year though, definitely shouldn't be overlooked.

Some of my best friends are Carolina alumni. I graduated from Clemson, but I'm not biased against them. I'll talk trash every now and then, but I'll never deny the talent that's on their roster.

I know Akeem Auguste is out, and that they're starting Jimmy Legree at corner. I'd be more worried about their linebackers than anything though - Holloman should do well in that SPUR role, but I'm not sure about Damario Jeffery or Shaq Wilson. Clowney and Swearinger are the best players on that defense, by far.

They should beat Vandy big, but it just seems like they always let teams hang around.

Ugh, those Georgia Tech helmets. Russell was supposed to be coming up with some state of the art design that blew everyone away and wouldn't debut until kickoff Monday. I should have known it would be doo doo. Oh well.

Edit: They're apparently supposed to get the GT logo on them by game time.

Vandy will win tomorrow night, you heard it here first.
I'm expecting them to lose as well. Remember a few years back they lost to Kentucky the week after beating Bama? lol

^^^ That hit was nuts.

Here's Bryan Bennett being interviewed today after reports yesterday stated that he was considering a transfer. He sat down with Chip Kelly yesterday and today he announced he would remain at Oregon. I highly recommend watching it. It really shows maturity. I feel bad for the guy.

Eh, he'll leave when the sanctions come down and he can transfer without taking a year off.

College Football Predictions (we dont need a thread for it do we)
National Championship: LSU over USC

Big 10: Michigan over Wisconsin
Big 12: Oklahoma
SEC: Georgia over LSU (spoils another LSU undefeated season, but they still play national title game)
Pac 12: USC over Oregon
ACC: Florida State over Georgia Tech
Big East: South Florida

Non-BCS Team that Makes BCS Bowl Game: BYU (look for Ohio U to go 11-1)

George beating LSU? Unless Arkansas or Alabama changed their team name to Georgia, I don't see that happening unless LSU has another 8-5 season.

As for FSU winning the ACC, I hope so. I really really hope so. Same with South Florida winning the Big East. However as a Nebraska fan, I'm legally obligated to say Nebraska is in the running for the Big 10 Championship.

Also, as a huge LSU fan, I would love to say we'll win the title this year but I try to avoid saying things like that out of just bias. It's too close to tell right now, but we're absolutely a strong contender.

How could they change their team name to Georgia? Obviously I wasn't suggesting they could play them, I was more referring to the fact that he had an SEC team beating LSU that wasn't either of those teams.

I'm a Georgia Tech fan, so this pains me very deeply, but Georgia could absolutely beat LSU.

"I don't see that happening unless LSU has another 8-5 season." Is my take on that. Georgia can beat LSU, if LSU has an average year. However if they make it to the championship as a 1 loss team, I am willing to bet you that one loss doesn't come from Georgia. Then again, I wouldn't mind paying you if we beat Bama but lose to Georgia and still make it to the championship. That's just a great year for me.

I'd rather LSU just beat Georgia, haha.
