Week One College Football Big Game Predictions

1*Boise State vs. 11*Virginia Tech
The Broncos offense is loaded with Kellen Moore passing to Austin Pettis and Titus Young while the defensive line is a team strength in Ryan Winterswyk and Billy Winn and will constantly pressure Tyrod Taylor.
7*TCU vs. 17*Oregon State
Both get immediately tested and the TCU defense will try to shut down Jacquizz Rodgers and new quarterback Ryan Katz. Andy Dalton will try to lead the Horned Frogs on offense but will have to ignore the pressure from tackle Stephen Paea.
18*UNC vs. 23*LSU
Maybe the best defense in the nation the Tar Heels with Robert Quinn, Marvin Austin and Bruce Carter will try to shut down Jordan Jefferson. Patrick Peterson will also try to shut down UNC's Greg Little.
20*Utah vs. 22*Pittsburgh
Despite many losses Utah is still one of the best football teams in the Mountain West. In one of their few tests this season Utah will rely heavily on running back Eddie Wide. The same goes for the Panthers and Dion Lewis.
*= My own preseason rankings.
