Alabama vs. Va. Tech- Let's make this clear. Va. Tech is not Clemson, so don't expect them to catch the beatdown that the Tigers got in this game last year from Bama. However, with eight starters returner on defense and a freshman starting at running back for Va. Tech, the Hokies are going to have a hard time scoring. The Tide has enough offense to get over the top.
UGA at Oklahoma St.- The Cowboys' high powered offense vs a resurgent Bulldog defense. Both teams have a lot to prove. Kind of a "loser leave town" match. I think this will be a great match-up but I give the slight edge to the home team. I expect big things from Kendall Hunter and Zac Robinson. Dez Bryant doesn't always show up in big games but that can always change. Tough spot for Joe Cox's first start. 
BYU vs. Oklahoma- Max Hall is great. And Jermaine Gresham isn't playing today. With that said, expect the Sooners to roll. Big. Huge day for Sam Bradford and Demarco Murray. 
Miami at Florida State- What was once a tremendous rivalry has been reduced to an afterthought in the busy opening week. Miami has more brute talent than Fla. State but the Noles have more experience and a comparable amount of talent. They are also at home and have a defense that can get at Jacory Harris, not to mention an O-line that will protect Christian Ponder and open holes for Jermaine Thomas. FSU will take the first step up in the race back to prominence.
