since everyone is posting LPD predictions and such, i figured id see if we can get a discussion about the real football season starting Sept. 2

here's a couple games of note and my predictions...post your own

Marshall v.s. WVU - good in-state game that starts WVU's brutal schedule...Marshall could sneak up and bite them though if Ahmad Bradshaw has a good game

my prediction: WVU by 15+

Bowling Green v.s. Wisconsin - they did it to Oklahoma last year and Omar Jacobs has another shot to do it again...Wisconsin should be better prepared though and will win a fairly close one

my prediction: Wisconsin by 10+

Stanford v.s. Oregon - two players to watch in Jonathan Stewart (Oregon) and Ekom Udofia (Stanford), both should have really good years for their respective programs and should be a pretty good game to watch

my prediction: Oregon by 17+

Memphis v.s. Ole Miss - Brent Schaeffer's first game back...Memphis lost DeAngelo but return a pretty decent team who should contend for C-USA title

my prediction: Ole Miss by 15-

California v.s. Tennessee - one of the better match-ups of the day...UT looks to bounce back after last year's debacle and have to do it against a tough RB in Lynch

my prediction: UT by 10-

Notre Dame v.s. Georgia Tech - Notre Dame is listed very high on a lot of charts so their first couple of games are gonna be important to tell if they're really back as the old ND or just another case like when Willingham was there...ND's pass defense ranked 103rd in the nation last year, not something you like to see when your next opponent is gonna be a very experienced QB and then some guy named Calvin Johnson...but give Weis 6 months to gameplan for anyone and it's gonna be a W

my prediction: Notre Dame by 10-

Kentucky v.s. Louisville - in-state rivalry is usually a good game but UK is outmatched in this game, despite a very good recruiting class

my prediction: Louisville by 20+

USC v.s. Arkansas - Arkansas should be the surprise team of the SEC this year but a match-up with USC, even without Bush, Leinart and White, isn't gonna produce a W

my prediction: USC by 15+

Game of the Week
Miami v.s. FSU - Miami has 4 players suspended including RB Tyrone Moss...that alone should be a big factor in the game, although when these two get together it's a very close game and a defensive battle

my prediction: FSU by 10-
