College Football is back and all seems right in the world again. Here are my five bold predictions for Week 1 of the 2018 season.
Yes, I know Week 0 has already past and technically football has been back for a week now. However, this is the real action. These are the big dogs running for the national title. The craziness of college football begins this week and I, for one, couldn’t be more excited.
So without further ado, let’s get bold ladies and gentlemen.
5. Auburn beats Alabama — for TV ratings
The Iron Bowl of television rankings commences this Saturday. Alabama takes on Louisville and Auburn takes on Washington. One is a top-10 matchup and the other is the reigning national champion taking on a team that is trying to figure out how to cope without Lamar Jackson.
The Auburn vs. Washington game is the most exciting Week 1 matchup that I’ve seen in quite awhile. Both teams have a real chance to be national championship contenders, something that is unheard of in Week 1.
Now, does that mean Louisville won’t contend for a title — no, though they probably won’t. However, in the Iron Bowl of TV ratings, Auburn will take the crown over Alabama in Week 1.
