Counterpoint: Georgia can’t lose anyway.
Gundy is still 40 and a maaaunn.Biff handicaps the Big XII
This is the last chance for Texas to show the Big XII they run that league.
The new additions all suck, except UCF. The idea that the ACC missed out on not adding Cincinnati and Houston is dumb, and we don't need another team in Florida. Mike Gundy is now 56 years old and an old man and in decline.

Ward, Don’t be so hard on the beaver.USC obviously the team to beat in the Pac 12 but a fun story line is Oregon State has a decent team and gets one last crack at a P5 run. Let’s do it Beavs
More than any other game, I am excited for Clemson to beat Duke by 3+ TDs.
Feels like Clemson is under the radar a bit given all of the FSU hype. And (as discussed here at length) Duke was solid last year, but not nearly as good as their record would indicate. Love Elko, but I think they take a significant step backwards this year (in terms of W/L).
I agree on Utah, TCU (Bigly), and Clemson. My lottery ticket might be the Wyoming ML. Haven't decided yet how frisky I want to get.Thursday:
Florida at Utah -4.5, 44 pts, 8:00 ESPN
Nebraska at Minnesota -7.0, 43 pts, 8:00 FOX
Friday:
Miami at Miami -16.5, 45.5 pts, 7:00 ACCN
Saturday:
Virginia at Tennessee -28.0, 56.5 pts, 12:00 ABC
Colorado at TCU -20.5, 64 pts, 12:00 FOX
West Virginia at Penn State -20.5, 7:30 NBC
UNC-CH v USC +2.5, 64.5 pts, 7:30 ABC
ODU at Va Tech -16.0, 47.5 pts, 8:00 ACCN
Sunday:
LSU -2.5 v FSU +2.5, 56.5 pts, 7:30 ABC
Monday:
Clemson -13 at Duke, 56.5 pts 8:00 ESPN
Also agree with LSU and Clemson. I’m gonna spend some time today sorting through Saturday lines for value. Can’t wait to throw away all my hard earned golf betting money this fall. A tradition unlike any otherNo wagers actually made yet, but on the above list I also like Utah, USC, LSU, & Clemson.
Could also get behind TCU throttling Colorado.
Note: Biff took every favorite, aside from SCAR over UNC.
