I am super excited for the start of college football season!
The two teams I mainly pull for, North Carolina and my alma mater Appalachian State, have interesting opportunities before them this season.
UNC had a fantastic season last year, but a soft non-conference schedule hurt them in the public eye. They have remedied that a little with a first game against Georgia this season, and the game against Florida State will be a good opportunity, but they will still need plenty of help.
Meanwhile, Appalachian State, coming off an 11-win season, returns a shit load of players, and they start off at #9 Tennessee, and in week 3 they host Miami. If they win both of those games, and run the table in their conference, who knows what could happen? Maybe winning the Group of 5 and getting into a great bowl game!
First game of the season is this Friday - Cal vs. Hawaii, from Australia.
