The Games to Watch in Week One

Posted by: badanov
We will be monitoring several games this coming up weekend, if not going to the bar and watching them outright. The games we will monitor are ones we believe will have the most impact early, and at the moment, there aren't many.
Utah at Arizona Friday ESPN 1900 CDT
This game will pit a very good Utah team minus coach Urban Meyer, in a non conference match-up against Arizona. We expect Utah to take control early and stay in control of the game throughout.
Boise State at Georgia Saturday ESPN 1630 CDT
Boise State was one of the possible gatecrashers at last years BCS. This time they get to go against a team, depending who you ask, will vie for the SEC title. Georgia has an incredibly well balanced offense, and opening at home against Boise State, they could run away with the game.
Wyoming at Florida Saturday ( No National Coverage)
And why, we don't know. Wyoming is a pretty good football team returning almost its entire 2004 squad. Wyoming is considered among the top three teams in the Mountain West Conference. If Florida struggles in this game, it could wind up being good news for Tennessee when they come to play two weeks later.
Georgia Tech at Auburn Saturday ESPN 1900 CDT
The country will get to see what a very, very good nationally ranked team looks like when they lose most of their starters to graduations and the NFL. Even so, we expect Auburn to dispatch Georgia Tech.
If you have something to add, Fire Away!
