The Best Games of the 2007 College Football Season(Part 1)

College football is still a month away from kicking off but I couldn't wait any longer to check out the schedule and look at all the big games. If I seem biased towards the SEC, it's probably because that I am, so sorry in advance.

Week 1
Tennessee at California(Sat. 9/1)
This should quiet all those SEC-haters who say no one in the SEC ever leaves their region. This game could have huge BCS implications at the end of the year because it is a matchup of two teams from the best two conferences. Cal will have payback on their mind after getting crushed in Knoxville to begin last season.

Week 2
Virginia Tech at LSU(Sat. 9/8)
Every one will be a Hokie next year cheering for VT the whole way. This will be the Hokies first real test and could be the most memorable game of the college football season if they can spring the major upset. LSU is loaded but with a new quarterback running the show, the Tigers could be unpredictable to start the season. This game has upset written all over it.

Week 3
USC at Nebraska(Sat. 9/15)
This is my favorite outside of the conference matchup of the season. Nebraska appears to be on the rise again and if they can get past Wake Forrest, this will setup a game with huge BCS implications. The fans in Lincoln have been waiting for a game like this for several years now. The men of Troy will have their hands full dealing with the Cornhuskers' and their rabid fans. I'm predicting a big upset here with Nebraska winning in a shootout. But everytime I pick against USC they usually win by 40.

Week 4
Texas A&M at Miami(Fla)(Thurs. 9/20)
Not a whole lot of great games this week but I'm going with the non-traditional matchup of the Aggies vs. the 'Canes. With a new coach, Miami could get out to a fast start to begin the season. This game may signal where 'THE U" program is headed in the near future.
Honorable Mention: Iowa at Wisconsin

Week 5
Alabama at Florida State(Sat. 9/29)
This is such a unique matchup and by the 5th week of the season this could either be a huge matchup of two unbeaten teams or two teams that are mightly struggling. As a Razorback fan, I'm hoping for the latter.
