Ole Miss at Mississippi State (Thursday) – Maybe when the season first started, this game looked like one that might be somewhat competitive and one we might have to take seriously.

At this point, it might be a long shot for the Panthers to pull out the upset so we can point and laugh, but stranger things have happ…yeah, I can’t even finish that sentence.

USF at UCF (Friday) – If you had said this would be the Sunshine State rivalry game that would have the most on the line this weekend at the start of the year, you would have been a liar.

Preseason Pick: USF     All Pick: UCF

Virginia Tech at Virginia (Friday) – I’m not going to lie to you, I had a hard time picking this one. The Hokies are going to be there with a solid defense, but the Cavaliers impressed me last weekend with being able to control the game early against Miami. If they can keep in it for the whole time, the state will be run by blue and orange the rest of the year.

Preseason Pick: Virginia Tech     Jason and Zack’s Pick: Virginia     Kelvin and Kyle’s Pick: Virginia Tech
