I'll try to stick to conference matchups but may not find many so I'll go for possible close games.
1) #FIU (CUSA) visits #UCF (AAC): Butch Davis' squad will stay in this one for three quarters but UCF will prevail 30-17 behind QB #miltonmckenzie
2) #marshall (CUSA) D won't contain #miamiohio QB Ragland's aerial show. Miami O 31 MU 19
3) #coloradost (MWC) crushed Oregon St of the Pac 12 last week but Colorado is a tougher team.
Plenty of Hype over the QBs, Montez of the Buffaloes, and Stevens of CSU, so watch the rushing game be the key. Colorado 27 CSU 25
4) #coastalcarolina (sunbelt) faces #umass who lost a tough one to Hawaii last week. #CCU will have a tough time slowing down the Ford to Breneman connection. UMass 33 Ccu 26
September 1: Well #FIU lasted a quarter and a half before Mckenzie and crew rolled them. Nice game for FIU #ThomasOwens 5 REC, 99 YDS, 1 TD. UCF 61 FIU 17
Sept 2 : I was correct about the Buffaloes but definitely thought there would be more O. Col 17
CSU 3. I didn't foresee the shaky offensive pass interference calls.
Sept 3: Ragland put up decent stats,, but the #herd got 3TDs from for the special teams and D: Keion Davis returned two kickoffs for touchdowns and Chris Jackson added a pick6 . #marshall 31 MIami O 26. Cheers to #coastalcarolina RB #Abercrombie had 17 carries for 149 yards and two touchdowns in #CCU 38-28 win over Umass.

O5 in kind of week 1 2017 kickoff.
Some interesting interconference games in this tiny slate leading up to the "real" week 1.
OREGON ST. @ COLORADO ST #mwc Can Stevens to Gallup get a home field win? Or will the visiting Beavers rushing attack prevail. #oregst 19 #csu 17
#Hawaii #mwc @ #Massachusetts- #minutemen shoot down the Warriors 16 -15 with #ford tossing to #bregman in a home field win
#SouthFlorida #aac @ San Jose State #mwc. #quintonflowers and the Bulls should romp over the Spartans who will hand off #malikeroberson often to keep Flowrs on the pine. #Usf 27 #sjsu 9
Stanford vs Rice #cusa in Australia. #chryst and the Cards should be dealing the Owls out of the game quickly. Maybe #samstewart carries the rock and well for Rice and keeps the Cards O off the field. Stanford 40 Rice 19.

2017 MAC football snap hunches
East
Miami (Ohio) -Look for Ragland's band to rock the East
Bowling Green- Morgan to Miller aerial show
Ohio- Solich has another solid squad.
Akron- No zip on D
Buffalo- Still re-building
Kent St- Not much gold on the Flash.
WEST
Toledo- Hard to go against Woodside's Rockets soaring in the West
W. Michigan- PJ rowed to Minnesota and some stars plaing on Sunday.
E. Michigan- Is Roback's arm enough totake them bowling again?
C. Michigan- Who starts at QB? Morris or Poljan?
N. Illinois-Will late 2016 rebound carry over?
Ball St freshman LB, Brandon Martin will be busy.
Must see #MAC games: Oct 7 #EMU @ #toledo , #bowlinggreen @#miami(OH) . Miami (OH) last played #notredame in 1909 in 46-0 loss and will travel to South Bend for a Sept 30 match up.
Aug 12: I wonder if this scheduling pre-dates PJ stint @ #westermmichigan .
Sept. 2 at #USC
Sept. 9 at #MichiganState
Aug 18: I missed this surprising tidbit : #Toledo has not appeared a MAC title game since 2004.

2017 MWC football snap hunches
MOUNTAIN
Wyoming- Josh Allen tosses the Cowboys to another division title.
Boise St.- Coach Harsin will need an instant upgrade on D
Colorado St.- Stevens to Gallop and pray for some D
Air Force- That ground attack keeps them competitive
New Mexico- Lobos went bowling last season and will need some D miracles to do it again
Utah St-Ags open with Wisky and may not recover..
WEST
San Diego St.- Coach Long's Aztecs D will power them to the division title.
UNLV- Armani to Keys suits the Rebs fine
Fresno St- Coach Tedford wants to get back to the power 5- look for better Bulldogs' football
Hawaii-#drubrown and the O can score but Warriors secondary is porous.
Nevada- Look for Bama transfer #davidcornwell to do a decent job at QB
San Jose St.-Spartans OL is bad
Must see games: #sandiegost @ #unlv on Oct 7, #wyoming @ #boisest on Oct 21
Aug 14,2017
Three Aztecs football players have chickenpox. #sandiegost needs to play contain .:wink:.Wednesday, August 2, 2017
2017 Sunbelt football hunches
SUN BELT teams play alot of Power 5 conference matchup in the first three weeks.
App. St. doesn't have to face Troy and Ark St this season. Rushing duo of Upshaw/Moore is one of the keys.
Arkansas St: Ja’Von Rolland-Jones leads a strong D. Big conference game @ Troy and @south bama
Troy opens If QB #justicehansen has good opener@ #BoiseST , then Sunbelt beware
South Alabama: Decent D and #dallasdavis at QB
Ga. Southern: More Statesboro blues
Georgia State hopes the rivalry game with GSU isn't a cellar-dweller battle.
La.-Monroe- look for QB #garrettsmith to rally the Warhawks
New Mexico St.: A healthy Larry Rose should help the Ags stay in the middle of the pack.
Texas State: Lot of hype for #damianwillians
UL Lafayette- Need to replace a lot of starters
Coastal Carolina- Likely a rough Sunbelt delay- #austinwilson a QB transfer from Syracuse, has a rough gig.
Idaho Vandals will slide out of 1A ball
Aug 22: Hey national media is paying attention to the O5: SI.com ran a profile of #ArkSt DB #BlaiseTaylor this week for his athletic and academic prowess.

2017 AAC football snap hunches
The pre-season #AAC division favorites , #usf , #memphis do not match up during the regular season, but Memphis visits #UCF on Sept 9. I'm intrigued by two matchups on Sept 30. #navy visits #tulsa and a cool regional matchup as #marshall (CUSA) goes to #cincy. #navy and #temple face #notredame this season
EAST
South Florida- Coach Strong will attempt to recover his rep after un- hooking the Horns in Texas. QB #quintonflowers is a star but the D needs help.
UCF has enough O to cover D deficiencies
Cincinnati- Fickel moves the Bearcats up a notch
Temple will miss Rhule. Boo birds will be out in Philly.
East Carolina-Where's the D?
Connecticut The edsal is back
WEST
Memphis- Nice squad returning , particularly on O.
Navy- Never under-estimate the lads from Annapolis.
Tulsa Hurricanes aren't so golden on O
Houston- Going to miss Herman big time
Tulane- Green Wave crest a little
SMU- Can Coach Morris keep the Mustang opponents under 30 points a game?
Aug 20: #cincy hasn't played one game for #Fickel and the Joining the #big12 winds are whirling. Chill folks!
