Let's take a spin around the marquee matchups of week 1, plus those relevant to 5AF's college football fans:
Alabama v. Louisville in Orlando -- Lamar Jackson is gone, which is probably for the best, as they almost got him killed last year and they didn't have to play Bama. Alabama 38 Lville 18
Michigan at Notre Dame -- Brian Kelly remains the worst human in CFB, which is saying something. Jim Harbaugh remains amusing to me, mainly because he pisses off the right people. Michigan with the slight upset, 27-24.
Auburn v. Washington in Atlanta -- Jake Browning returns, but in Atlanta in what amounts to a road game cross-country? Auburn 42-34.
LSU v. Miami in Dallas -- This game fascinates me and no one has any idea what will happen. Mark Richt is miles superior to Coach O, so in a week 1 game, gimme Miami, 27-16.
VaTech at FSU, Labor Day: Womp womp wooooooooooomp:

App State at Crappy Valley, Home of Moral Bankruptcy -- App State 409, UPS 0 (yes, again).
Texas State Bobcats at Rutgers -- why
