Biggest College Football Games of Week 1

This is going to be a weekly feature here this season, giving you a preview of the 5 biggest games of the week. The biggest games of the week are decided by the games with the biggest pot in my power ratings. All rankings are my power rating's. Here we go! (The pot for each game is in parentheses)

#1 Alabama vs. #28 Virginia Tech (51.27)

Alabama should win this one easily, although the Beamer Boys could put up a bit of a fight. Safe to say Virginia Tech will make a big jump in the polls if they win this game, and they'll move up in my power ratings too if they keep this game close.

#4 Georgia @ #22 Clemson (48.61)

This is the game most people are watching this week, but my ratings aren't high on Clemson so it's 2nd on the list. Ultimately, Georgia probably pulls through in a tight game.

#19 LSU @ #13 TCU (45.95)

Most people have LSU as the favorite here, but I've got TCU. The Horned Frogs have a lot of returning players and should get 9 or 10 wins this year, while LSU is in for their worst year in a while.

#40 Mississippi State @ #3 Oklahoma State (43.46)
Oklahoma State is one of my big surprise teams this year which is why this game makes the list. This should be an easy home victory for the Cowboys against the SEC West's perennial bottom feeder.

#43 Rice @ #9 Texas A&M (40.28)

Rice is my surprise non-BCS team of the year, and my computer has them at 11-1, losing only this game. This will not be a cakewalk for Texas A&M like everyone assumes, especially without Manziel for a half.

Honorable mentions:

#38 Boise State @ #17 Washington (39.19)

#11 Mississippi @ #45 Vanderbilt (38.13)

#46 North Carolina @ #12 South Carolina (37.75)
