Would like to see Wisconsin win this game, and they might have a shot to do it this year. Minus Derrick Henry, I don't know anyone on Bama's team that could be a real game breaker. And their defense has slowly gotten worse over the last few years.

But it's still a pretty darn good defense, and Wisconsin has been essentially a one man show the last few years with whoever their RB is. Maybe Corey Clement can make some things happen, but I don't see a happy ending for Wisconsin in this one. Especially considering they're breaking in a new coach.

Hope I'm wrong though.

Wasn't this obvious? It's the 8:00 game being played in the Cowboys' stadium. That is always the Game Day location for week one.

Not in 2013, or 2009.

I could be wrong but I don't think there are a lot of great match up's in Week 4. If UM could be 3-0 and BYU maybe 2-1, Ann Arbor might be a landing spot for Game Day.

There's usually always one week in the non portion of the season where there is minimal to zero in terms of quality games.

That'll likely be Gameday's week where they go to North Dakota State, an Ivy rivalry game, or some other FCS powerhouse.

But I think UCLA and Arizona play that week too, and that may be a good one.

Do you guys think this will be a competitive game? I hope so, but Vegas has Bama as 10.5 point favorites, which to me seems a bit generous to the Badgers. Thoughts?

Won't be competitive. With Gordon gone, Clement is going to have to carry a major load. For a guy who has been there for what seems like forever (Robbie Hummel level) Stave has shown minimal improvement.

To anyone who thinks Va Tech just caught OSU sleeping last year, remember people said the same thing about Arizona v. Oregon in 2013. It will be a tough game for OSU to win. Va Tech dominated that game last year, winning by two TDs in Value City Furniture Horseshoe Stadium.

it doesn't matter if whisky loses and osu loses and every bgtn team loses their first game as long as Michigan wins. That's all that matters. Actually if you remember last season in week 2 or 3 when all the bgtn heavyweights lost there were articles declaring the demise of the bgtn and comparing them to a mid major conference not much better than the MAC. So how did the season play out? If you win at the end of the season in bowl games your conference will be perceived as the best no matter what some knuckleheaded SEC loving reporter says.
