Stay Positive Wednesday: Opening Week

It's finally here, people. Tomorrow college football begins with South Carolina taking on the NC State Wolfpack, and, heck, EIU takes on IL State in the Prairie State Rivalry game. I'm sure there might be some other games on Thursday, but those are the ones of particular note for me.

Most of the games during Week 1 of college football pit the big programs against the lesser ones, with the small or "developing" programs reaping some financial rewards from the arrangement. But there should be some good ones this week:
Georgia at Oklahoma State,
Miami at Florida State (Monday),
Minnesota at Syracuse,
Illinois vs. Mizzou,
Oklahoma at BYU,
Oregeon at Boise State,
and of course Alabama vs. Virginia Tech.

I'm picking the Hokies to win, but I'd like to be proven wrong.

It's one of the first games that IL is favored--should be interesting.
