Auburn is a basketball school that wastes its money on football ineptitude, but they do have an excellent WR corps this season. That'll definitely help. I don't see them ever beating Alabama again, though. Six wins should be their goal this year. Anything more is not very realistic. They're two years away from being three years away.

Miami is always hyped up too much, but it's more justified this year. They won 10 games last year and were a Cam Ward business decision away from 11 wins. Beck is a good QB and the pieces are there for an ACC Championship Game appearance, but they'll fall a bit short due in part to a questionable defense and Cristobal's patented late-game coaching gaffes.

If App State doesn't beat UNCC, that's an awful look on their staff.

Miami won those games in large part because they had Cam Ward. Their defense was complete ass. If it hasn't improved majorly they're not going to be able to just outscore everyone with Beck playing the role of Ward.

Nebraska is hilarious man.  Rhule is funny to watch and so is their Pat Mahomes cosplayer QB.

That kid is pure cringe. Like man, you were a BIG TIME recruit. You don't have to pretend to be someone else. Just be you. This poo of trying to be Temu Pat Mahomes is just bizarre for a kid in college. If he was 10 playing Pop Warner, yeah okay. But you're basically a grown ass man completely trying to copy someone else. Stop that.

LOL, yeah that would be pretty funny

You gotta play better to pull it off though. Good luck doing that in a Matt Rhule offense though. I know the kid is Nebraska legacy but I don't know why any QB would sign up to play for Matt Rhule who has never fielded a decent passing offense.

Ah fug it, man. This is the time for cautious optimism for all fans. Hell, I'm cautiously optimistic about the damn Panthers. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully expecting to be ass but desperately hoping I'm wildly wrong.

Same reason he's out there copying another grown man down to the minutiae of his pre snap mannerisms.  That boy ain't right.

And his uncle is the Nebraska OL coach. You'd think they pull the kid aside and tell him to stop making an ass of himself with this poo.

Maybe they know he's got no shot and they're hoping for a Tiktok windfall or something.

Brutal opening game for the Noles

Clemson doesn’t do it but I’d rather get a nice Wofford game in week 1 vs taking on the SEC every year out of the gate

Some more okay-ish football on tap tonight. Auburn/Baylor and Colorado/Georgia Tech.

It is, but if they want to compete for a national championship, they have to schedule games like this.  It worked for them a couple of years ago when they scheduled LSU to start the season.  Well, it worked until their qb got knocked out.

I'm a Heels/Panthers fan. I've learned not to spend all off-season talking poo. LOL
