West Virginia (Talented1) at Temple (DCHarder33) Good matchup that Owls might surprise and stay within 3 scores.
Virginia (kdog36) at Tennessee (LytezOut) We all like kdog cause he is a fighter but playing in RockyTop is no easy task.
Western Michigan (gobucks95) at Texas (BigStimpin) At least BigPimpin is doing what the real Horns do and schedule punching bags.
Troy (Dakshdar) at Wake Forest (BuckI2000) This should be close, edge to home team.

Champ's Thought's:

Not going to knock Week 1 games for the Big Dogs but some OOC are extremely turrible in the upcoming weeks. Kudos to those playing big games in Week 1! There are some quality matchups this week between solid coaches. I think I can safely say that nothing against BigScrub, but does anyone not want Buckeye to pull off this one? That Nolie vs BigRed is a good one as well. Dealer and jsense have a battle in Seattle.I can't forget the Block/DD game, that shoud be intense. Two of our dynasty coaches go at it in Raleigh and let's not forget the Napolean complex game! I am looking forward to another great season in the best league EVER! GL to all the teams and let's have a great, fun season!

Good stuff Champ.

Damnit, I have to hear it from you now too? haha, nice writeup Champ, youre right though not too many big ones lined up

good stuff champ..

Nice write up

Very nice write up.

I like this guy Champ

Houston is a B-

Just FYI . . . I challenged Nebraska (B+), Texas Tech (B), and Utah (B) but either did not hear back or was told they were already booked.

Texas A&M (B+) and Kansas (B-) are good games.

I play Relio every season . . . so I guess as long as he keeps Ohio, ya, should be an easy W. The New Mexico game was because some of the challenges I sent out did not get answered thus the NDL GODS put them on the Houston schedule.

And not getting defensive, just trying to shed some light on the subject just a bit.

And of the 5 non-BSC schools that might have a shot at going undefeated this year, I would say TCU has the strongest schedule and Houston is right behind them (looking soley at teams played, not who is coaching them).

BUT . . . all in all . . . great write-up . . . I love reading this stuff. GG Champ...

nice job champ, great write up

Nice write up Champ.

Honestly Im not playing for now with Boise, but a future top 5 pick. Max win goal is 10 ( I cant stop a sole on AA) so I figure keep Boise these next 2 season if I can and be set up nice for when next years game drops.

Great read Champ, thanks for doing this! Another reason this is the best league around!

just joking with ya but even though you are a B-, you always have a stellar season!

I know (well, maybe not), but I have been ragged on for several seasons now because of my schedule. So I just felt it was time to say something.

I do wonder sometimes what type of success I would have if I had Texas, but I guess only the good Lord would know the answer to that one.

Nice write-up. Dawgit and I have played about 100 games against each other so no matter what teams we have it will be a fight down to the wire as always.
