The college football season is still about three months away, but it is never too early to start looking at how the season will get going. Alabama won the BCS Championship again last year. Changes are coming to the BCS in the year ahead, and it should be an exciting season. <\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look at ten of the best games on the week one schedule! BetOnline has pointspreads listed for week one games, so all lines shown below are from BetOnline<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n North Carolina vs. South Carolina (-9.5)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n These teams haven\u2019t met in a while, but Larry Fedora\u2019s Tar Heels will take on the Gamecocks in game one this year. Steve Spurrier\u2019s team did some special things last year, and much will be expected of them again this year. Watch out for Jadeveon Clowney!\u00a0 Prediction: South Carolina 31 North Carolina 20<\/p>\n Ole Miss vs. Vanderbilt (-2.5)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Two teams on the rise in the very difficult SEC will square off in week one. Mississippi found a great coach in Hugh Freeze, and the job James Franklin has done at Vanderbilt has been tremendous. Ole Miss has the edge on offense while Vanderbilt has a strong defense.\u00a0 Prediction: Vanderbilt 27 Ole Miss 24<\/p>\n USC (-23)<\/a> vs. Hawaii<\/strong><\/p>\n USC will have a new look this year without Matt Barkley under center. The Trojans have had some great recruiting classes, so they should be good, but there will be a lot of youth on the field. Hawaii was really down in the dumps last year. Can Norm Chow turn things around? Prediction: USC 45 Hawaii 20<\/p>\n Texas Tech (-2)<\/a> vs. SMU<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s the start of a new era at Texas Tech. Kliff Kingsbury will be the new man in charge this year for the Red Raiders. The players seem to like his style, and the Red Raiders have quite a bit of talent. SMU is never a team to take lightly with June Jones at the helm. This should be a great game.\u00a0 Prediction: SMU 24 Texas Tech 21<\/p>\n Temple vs. Notre Dame (-27)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Temple has had some pretty decent teams in the last few years, but this year\u2019s team doesn\u2019t look like they will be very good. Notre Dame lost a lot of key players, but Brian Kelly definitely has this team headed in the right direction. This should be a mismatch. Prediction: Notre Dame 38 Temple 10<\/p>\n Alabama (-17.5)<\/a> vs. Virginia Tech<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta. Can anyone in college football keep up with Nick Saban\u2019s Crimson Tide? They are stacked once again. Frank Beamer\u2019s Hokies should be good, but they definitely aren\u2019t on the same level. I won\u2019t be shocked if the Hokies keep it a little closer than expected. Prediction: Alabama 34 Virginia Tech 20 [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Georgia vs. Clemson (-1)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This is probably the best game of the first week. ABC will broadcast this one in primetime. This is the first of a two-game series between two schools that don\u2019t like each other very much. Tajh Boyd is a special quarterback, but he won\u2019t have the same weapons on the outside this year. Georgia is out to prove a point here.\u00a0 Prediction: Georgia 28 Clemson 24<\/p>\n LSU (-5.5)<\/a> vs. TCU<\/strong><\/p>\n TCU has done some great things over the last few years. The Horned Frogs were solid in their first year in the Big 12 last season. The LSU Tigers defense should be amazing this year, and that makes them a favorite in this one. Prediction: LSU 24 TCU 17<\/p>\nThursday August 29, 2013<\/h3>\n
