Week #1 of the 2010 College Football Season

Yes glory be to God...it be finally HERE!!

To my loyal readers....HELLO!! Welcome to week 1 of the college football season, edition 2010.

As many of you regulars know, my blog is only made available to the truly fanatical and passionate for our greatest American sport. If you are reading this it is because you have been given the secret password by others who see your passion and want you to join in this greatest online preview for college football anywhere. You will NOT find greater insight or astounding predictions than here my good friends.

Can you actually believe that it is time again to begin living the ecstasy that is college football?????? I can scarce believe it myself. It is going to be a FANTASTIC season too!

Unlike past years, week one of the 2010 season presents some VERY competitive matchups. Even yours truly has had to sit back and give some very careful analysis to some of these games. But be ye not afraid. AUWins is here to guide thee and steer thee well!

So here we go. But put on your safety belt because you can get a ticket riding THIS train without one bud!

WEEK 1 Games and Predictions

The Buffs vs The Rams (Colorado that is)

What kind of backwardass rivalry gets played first game of the year? Oh...wait...I forget Miami and the SemenHoles do as well. Stupid if you ask me. But it DOES make for some interesting week one game watchin'.

The state school has tended to have / get the upper hand many of the recent contests. Dan Hawkins has made an absolute sordid mess out of the Buff's program since arriving and this is indeed his last season there (okay, you just read major prediction #1 for the season!). So why would I tell you to take the rumblin' stumblin' bison this year?

Simple. Colorado State is starting a true freshman at QB.

Enough said. Take Hawkins and co. for this matchup.

The Wildcats of K State vs The Golden Child

Wow this one is tough. First, you gotta dig down and research these two first before making ANY kind of conclusion about this game. Rickie Boy (aka The Golden Child) wants to supplant USC as the power in CA. Thanks to Pete Carrol and Reggie Bush, that is going to happen regardless of what HE does. But this opener is AT K State. K State has a returning part time starter at QB (senior). I'll give Snyder (the second oldest man in the world behind Joe Paterno) a razor thin edge here.

Ritchie Rich vs The Sled Dogs

Rich Rod is probably looking at his last opener as Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecheeeegan's head coach. We all know that. But playing at home against a formidable big east opponent like Edsel's huskies might very well put Richie boy on the FAST TRACK out of Ann Arbor. Michigan still doesn't have the cast it needs to make Rich Rod's movie. Randy and his boys have shown that they can go anywhere, anytime and beat just about anybody.

I would pick UConn straight up with no reservations if they were playing at home or a neutral site. Roddyboy gets only a flicker of benefit for playing in his own backyard.......hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....what to do here???

I'll take UConn in a dogfight. Michigan won't fall apart and make it easy...but I think coaching, consistency and execution on both sides go to the sled dogs.

UConn wins.

The Boiled Peanuts..er...BoilerMAKERS vs The Leprechauns

I am sad.

I am depressed.

No longer each week can I make jokes about the waddling hippopotamus that is one Charlie "Fatboy" Weiss. A moment of silence please.

No, the neutered damsel now has a LEGIT head coach (finally!). And because of this I'm having some difficulty with this opener. Notre Dame has no one really to speak of on either side of the ball coming back. But Purdue's QB, while a senior, is a transfer from Miami. Who the hell knows HOW this kid will play?

Sheeeeeeeeeesh! Um....okay....I'll take Purdue and the transfer QB who is SUPPOSED to be all that and then some.

Boilers by 3 in a real tight one.

The Horny Toads vs The Slang Term for a Lady's... You Know...

One of the more interesting matchups in a week 1 full of good games. We all know by now that the amphibians are good, on BOTH sides of the ball. But we also know that this year the dam building rodents are loaded and ready to compete for a Pac 10 championship.

Like most of you, I'm really torn on this. In the end, I'll take the slight edge TCU's solid defense has and their home field advantage over the river rodents.

Riiiiiiiiivits by 5 at home.

The Clueless Asshat vs The Sky

If you've followed AUWins over the years...you know that of all the dumbf*cks with the title of head coach in this great sport, none incurs my wrath like the twiddledick Les "The Asshat" Miles. I knew from the very first game he coached at lswho that he was over his head and had zero friggin' clue.

Well, now the fans at Bat Ton Rooooooooge know it too. The media knows it. Everyone knows that this boob, when on the sideline, knows not whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt! He's totally overwhelmed by even the simplest of situations. See last year's debacle against Ol Piss.

But the REAL reason I hate his dumbarse is because for being the stupidest moron in the game....he is also the LUCKIEST man ever born on earth. His national title was with the first and only (ever!!) team to limp into the BCSC game with 2 losses. Will never happen again! And he should have had 2 more losses if not for the Fairy F*cking Godmother sprinkling pixie dust all over the field against teams like Kentucky that season.

Whew.....okay....deep breaths...deep breaths...

So what happens two weeks before his squad faces one of the best defenses in the country on opening weekend???? More than half the starting squad is IN-El-I-GI-BLE!!!!!!! C'MON!!! Coooooome Ooooooooon!!! Give me and every other Christian soul a break here!

F*ckstick wins, probably convincingly, in the ATL this Saturday night.



Boise State vs The Hookers...I mean Hokies

By far the hardest, yet most exciting game on the schedule this weekend. I really don't think anyone can pick this matchup with a helluva lot of confidence. I'm going to go with Boise because they've taken that next step twice now in BCS bowl games. Va Tech has had tendency to fall over backwards (see last year vs bama) in it's big games.

It'll be close, and I personally see a lower scoring affair than most experts do.

The Blue Horses prevail by 7.

In Conclusion...dear sirs..

See? I told ya this week one was starting off on a serious friggin' note! You best batten down ye ol' hatches and get to studying my dear students! This test begins only 3 days from now!

As I always tell you, my lovely readers, may your first weekend of college football be filled with happiness, hops, barley, bar food, laughs, good friends and joy!

We will talk again next week for a review of week 1 and more stellar predictions for week 2.

Till then.....WAR DAMN EAGLE!
