South Carolina at NC State (-5) - I got this line at -4, but it keeps going up. I don't see South Carolina being good at all this year and I think Spurrier will have his first ever losing season as a college head coach. They lost a lot of talent and Steven Garcia hasn't been able to put it together yet. I see this as a rebuilding year for SC. I like Russell Wilson a lot for State and Coach O'Brien has his team on the rise.
Oregon at Boise State (-4) - Got to love Boise on the blue field at night. I seriously think they should ban the blue jerseys on the blue field...how can a QB possibly see defenders, especially at night? Boise has won 55 of 56 games at home, dating back to 2002, and Coach Petersen has never lost at home (19-0). BSU beat up Oregon last year in Eugene and freshman QB threw for 386 yards. This year's Oregon team returns just 5 starters on defense and has a completely new secondary. On offense, they only return one starter on the o-line. They also have a new head coach, and since he has taken over, 8 players (including 2 of their top 3 receivers) have left the team. They do return a mobile QB in Masoli, but I do not understand why Oregon is ranked so high in the preseason polls. I'll take Boise confidently.
Hope everyone has a GREAT season!
