Week 1 Predictions and Odds 
As the NCAA College games get set for the second week of play, there are going to be some teams looking for retribution for their week one performance and others simply hoping to continue their winning ways into the second week. Upsets seem to be common in the NCAA football program, but that still doesn’t take the sting out of a loss for teams such as #3 Oregon who took a 40-27 drubbing from #4 LSU and Oregon will be looking to recover when they play Nevada in week two.
Week 1 - Game of the Week Prediction
Our Expert Season Record:
2 - 0
UNLV (0-0) vs. Wisconsin (0-0)
NFL Betting Line: Wisconsin -28
EXPERT PICK: Wisconsin -28 
Another upset saw #14 TCU handed a 50-48 loss, edged by Baylor. TCU will face Air Force next week and is expected to win that one big time. Perhaps it was the 23-20 South Florida win over Notre Dame that caused a lot of angst among college football fans and the Irish play another Big 10 rival Michigan next week. Boise State, ranked #5 watched Kellen Moore hit on over 80 percent of his passes, including three for touchdowns as the team blew out # 19 Georgia. Georgia’s fortunes could be tested again as they will go up against #12 South Carolina in week 2.
There were also a few no-contest games as a few schools schedule some sure-win games as a sort of final tune up before their real season begins. Teams such as Ohio State, with head coach Jim Tressel and several of their starters out due to NCAA violations beat up on Akron University 42-0 and the (Ohio) Kent State Golden Flashes succumbed to #2 ranked Alabama, 48-7. Michigan State ranked #17 travelled to Ohio and made short work of Youngstown State University 28-6.
Ohio State appears to have their second week on tap with another unranked team playing against Toledo in week2. Michigan State is expected to take their second game of the young season when they play against Florida Atlantic and Alabama will take on Joe Paterno’s Nittany Lions in week 2 against Penn State.
Many of the other contests among the top 20 ranked teams ended up about as expected, especially when the teams were playing against un-ranked opponents. Oklahoma beat up Tulsa 47-14 and Louisiana-Monroe was easily handled by Florida State in a 34-0 blowout. Stanford was a 67-3 winner over San Jose State and Texas A&M took Southern Methodist to the cleaners by way of a 48-14 win.
