1. OU/OSU
2. Bama/USC
3. Texas/ND
I don't like to look too far into the season because those games could end up being average if one or both teams involved kind of screws up
Does that Bama/LSU game mean a ton if Bama has 2 losses going into it and LSU has 1?
OSU/Mich may not mean anything if Sparty already has beaten them both
OSU/OU is probably safe but if OU has a loss to Houston week 1 that already takes some glimmer off of it
2. Bama/USC
3. Texas/ND

Looks about right.. Can't wait to watch OSU fans melt when they lose their 3rd game of the season to Michigan.

I explained my reasoning. Games become more/less important as the season goes on and more games are played. No one knew Ole Miss/Arky would be so important in 2015 at the beginning of the year, but it became more anticipated.

Outside of Wisconsin, which has a hell of a schedule this season and two night games against Ohio State and Nebraska in Camp Randall, I am most looking forward to:
- Ohio State / Michigan
- Alabama / LSU
- Clemson / FSU

Oklahoma tOSU
Mississippi St @ BYU, this could go a long way into the narrative of SEC dominance this year
Michigan @ Iowa I think this may give us indication if Michigan is really ready for prime time. I know most will say the State game, but that is a rivalry game and anything can happen, see the punt of last year.

1. Clemson - FSU

Not sure how any of those couldn't be on it.

Looks pretty accurate to me.

What do you think about Clemson-Auburn?
ETA: I think it'll go one of two ways.
1. Clemson rolls them
2. Being the first game of the year, in a hostile environment, it'll go down to the wire.

Really looking forward to the Calvin Ridley v. Adoree Jackson matchup in this one

I believe it will be the latter for a half, but then we'll end with a comfortable-ish 10 point or so win. It won't be an incredibly impressive win that has the world singing our praises, but I don't think it will ever truly feel in doubt.
I think people expecting to see end of the year Bama Deshaun will be sorely disappointed. I expect him to play well, but offenses rarely start as hot as defenses do. I expect some miss communications, maybe some overthrows, all those sorts of things that plague offenses early. We've also got some young starters on defense, and Malzahn will throw the kitchen sink at them with gadgetry and window dressing.
The deciding factors in this game will be Deshaun, our OL, and coaching. If our OL truly is as good as people think it will be, it should neutralize Auburn's DL for the most part. That combined with Deshaun's ability to move should restrict Auburn's DL's ability to really dominate the game.
Then, there's simply no way you can't say that Clemson has a huge coaching edge in this game. Even if you consider Gus and Dabo to be equal (I don't but just for argument's sake), Venables v Steele is a hysterical mismatch. As I told the LSU fans when they hired him, I'd rather Steele feed my dog when I was on vacation than I would have him be my Defensive Coordinator. I think he's as incompetent as they come, literally the definition of what's wrong with the good ole boy network in football coaching that just recycles the same retreads.
I expect a real close game at halftime, Venables will make some adjustments at halftime, Steele won't because he can't walk and chew bubble gum at the same time, Deshaun will hit a big play or two, and we'll walk out with around a 10 point win.
31-20 sounds about right for me.

What about JuJu Smith? Dude's great. I just don't know if they'll have anyone who can throw the ball to them.

Their starter, Max Browne, was the #1 QB when he came out. Helton is a great QB coach also so I expect at least a few good to brilliant plays from passing for USC
