Tony Homo has as much chance of winning a Superbowl as Matt Ryan does. Which is to say... the Cowboys won't win the Superbowl unless someone poisons the other teams Gatorade every Sunday.

Florida names Luke Del Rio starting QB for Sept. 3 opener vs. UMass - http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/17340012/luke-del-rio-named-florida-starting-quarterback-season-opener-massachusetts

I predict that he will look pretty good, until he starts playing against tougher SEC opponents.

I don't know anything about the guy. Even if he needs to find his rhythm at least it's Massachusetts.

UNC is looking to be better than last year, the main question is can they defend the run? If not, they could be worse lol. It's always been nc's huge weakness. Florida state/cook, Pittsburgh, and Clemson all run the ball really well and will mean huge problems for nc unless their run D steps up. Hell GA Tech will probably run right through them if they haven't improved. We'll see. NC v Georgia in 2 weeks

Heels gonna get Chubb'd.

Probably. And usually I'd say, well good thing unc is going to out score Georgia so it won't matter. But........ although Mitch trubisky is a great qb, it's both his first time starting and nc's 1st game of the season. I'd wager on this being one of the few games nc doesn't run the score up whether Georgia does or not. So it'd be in their best interest for the D against the run to not suck THAT bad.

I'm not sure how good ga's corners/dl/lb's are, but nc's offense is really good. it's just very not-unc-like for the offense to be coming out firing on game 1 so I'm not counting on it. If Georgia has some opening game jitters I could see it being an odd and low scoring game.

Notre Dame- It could not have happened to a better team.

I am a Notre Dame hater

Yeah I just saw that article. I've never liked notre dame although they've half-way lived up to the underserved hype in the past 2 years.

Just saw ESPN's article "top 10 break out players of 2016"... As in rookie or semi-rookie players they feel are about to make a statement this year. Georgia's QB is #8. He seems to be a heavy passer, and if Kirby "smart" decides to rely on his freshman abilities over UNC's group of CB's (see des Lawrence, best in ACC) then I'd be pleased. But, I think they'll be smart enough to put the ball in chubb's hands.

NC's QB trubisky is #4 on the list.

"A host of North Carolina defenders were in non-contact jerseys during Wednesday's practice, which Larry Fedora said has forced some adjustments in practice. Still, Fedora said, none of the injuries appears too serious, and he expects all key players back at practice in time for Georgia."

Lol

Did you mean non-contact "injuries"? Or were they hurt by their jerseys? I don't get it.

Spell-check strikes again! They were in Jersey when the injuries occurred and the non-contact gurneys were adjusted.
