Probably postponing my move from Direct TV to Vue until after the CFB season, but when I do, it'll probably be the Vue Core + Sports Pack option.

I just went back to directtv from Cox. the menus and tech is subpar to cox but for the price difference and the Sunday ticket, it cant be beat.

No coincidence that two job listings in the compliance department showed up this week. Too bad we didn't have the Compliance Lady working on this one.

Back by popular demand, predict your team's season!!!!!

vs Bethune Cookman----WIN
@ Arkansas State----WIN
@ Florida State----LOSS
vs Toledo----WIN
@ Duke----WIN
vs GTech----WIN
vs Syracuse----WIN
@UNC----LOSS
vs Virginia Tech----WIN
vs Notre Dame----WIN
vs Virginia----WIN
@ Pittsburgh----WIN

I realistically see the Canes going 9-3 and have the ND, Pitt, and VTech game as the toss up from 10-2 to 9-3

No seasoned QB and no stud prospects ready and it could easily be a 8-4, 7-5 type season but the schedule is favorable with no Clemson,Louisville, or NC State from the Atlantic. They should have one of the best defenses in football which is fun to say again and should help carry in some games hopefully.

2017 Ohio State Buckeyes Football Schedule
Date Aug. 31 @ Indiana Hoosiers - WIN
Sep. 9 vs Oklahoma Sooners - WIN - Will be a very close game and could go either way.
Sept. 16 vs Army Black Knights - WIN
Sep. 23 vs UNLV Rebels - WIN
Sep. 30 at Rutgers Scarlet Knights - WIN
Oct. 7 vs Maryland Terrapins - WIN
Oct. 14 at Nebraska Cornhuskers - WIN - Won't be as close as the Oklahoma game, but something about the Cornhuskers scares me.
Oct. 21 OFF
Oct. 28 vs Penn State Nittany Lions - WIN - Will be a very close game and could go either way.
Nov. 4 at Iowa Hawkeyes - WIN - This one could very well end up in an upset.
Nov. 11 vs Michigan State Spartans - WIN
Nov. 18 vs Illinois Fighting Illini - WIN
Nov. 25 at Michigan Wolverines - WIN - Hopefully not a double overtime thriller like last year.

Dec. 2 Big Ten Championship Game

3 losses would not surprise me, but I also know Meyer has something to prove after his first shutout losing 31-0 to Clemson last year.

LSU:


BYU - W
Chatanooga - W
Miss St -W
Syracuse - W
Troy - W
Florida - L
Auburn - W
Ole Miss - W
Bama - L
Arkansas - W
Tennessee - L
Texas A&M - W




Expert prediction...and by expert, I mean Bama is the only team I know multiple players from, maybe 3. And I don't think I can name a single players on all of the other 11 teams combined.

I've never been more out of the loop on CFB.

Tennessee will not beat you guys. Injury bug well underway up in Knoxville and no reason to think it won't continue.

LSU is going to lose its customary 3 games I'm sure. Other than Bama, I just had to pick 2 from UF, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee, and A&M. May as well have picked out of a hat, we can go anywhere from 4-1 to probably 1-4 against those 5 teams.

We have not had any major injuries. A couple OL out out for season but no sure fire starters minus Chance Hall.

I am not willing to say TN will beat LSU, that game is too far in to the season and its hard to say how each team will be with all the unknowns. TN definitely does not have a lack of talent, they are just going to play a bunch of highly rated recruits who have not played much yet so who knows if they will be the real deal. Also we have no clue if Dormandy or JG are as good as their recruiting ranking but I am excited to find out and go in to this post Dobbs era.

Maryland - W
San Jose State - W
@USC - L
@ISU - W
KSU - W
OU- W/L
OSU - W/L
@Baylor - W
@TCU - L
KU - W
@ WVU - L
TXTECH - W

8-4 This year. They beat one of OU or OSU but wont win both. If they can stay healthy they could beat TCU and WVU as well and be 10-2 but that's a homers dream.

Josh Smith out for 4-6 weeks at Wr. Not stellar numbers but certainly in the mix at WR. Wiggins has missed with hip injury in fall camp at CB. Pretty sure I saw another Frosh WR out for the year plus the mentioned OL injuries.


Edit: found it

Yeah but Smith was neck and neck with Tyler Byrd. The WR Jacques Jones was a lock to redshirt. Wiggins was likely and probably is likely the 3rd CB still put two freshman Labruzza and Shamburger were pushing him anyways. We haven't had any big time key injuries, just guys like most teams would have I'd imagine
