College Football Power Five: 4 Teams That Can Pay Off On Week 0

[Ron Higgins]

Does anybody know who created the term “Week 0” for the first week of the college football season?

The same guy who named Coke Zero? The reality is some dolt at ESPN invented the term when the network began promoting the first eight games played in the 2017 season. | Read Full BMR Article

Good Read & analysis

I agree the 'Week 0' term is lame

But whatever we decide to refer to it as, I think one thing we can all agree on is that it's just nice to finally get the sewing underway

Welcome to our BMR Community, Ron!

LOL, I really went to Google and search to find "Who invented the word Coke 0" I can't wait for the regular season and this article is really a great read.

I like that Illinois pick .

 

[lemartinsports]

some good picks i see in there for these matchups:

Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Northwestern Wildcats
Wyoming Cowboys vs. Illinois Fighting Illini
Nevada Wolf Pack vs. New Mexico State Aggies
Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Hawaii Rainbow Warriors

Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Northwestern Wildcats - so they are basically not going to have a home game at either school because they're playing in ireland. might as well change the league name to '"college football league: europa"

Why are these teams playing in Ireland to open this season? Maybe it’s because both need to play each other far away from the U.S., sort of like being in witness protection since both were at the bottom of the Big Ten West Division a year ago.

Good one, Ron.

Thank you for the article and picks Ron sir.

Nice “old timer” handicapper here, not enough of these old school guys sharing their knowledge/experience in this industry. Too many young guns trying to steal the spot light in social media. Thumbs up for this addition to BMR analytic sports picks .

" The Fighting Illini starting offensive line outweighs Wyoming’s defensive line tackle to tackle by an average of 60 pounds per man."

They are taking a page ouf their HC's books lol. Awesome read and it actually got me more pumped up forWeek 0 than preseason NFL

Gotta say looking forward to this Illinois game



Funny how we haven't talked about the best one liner....

"...he said this past July at the league’s preseason media days, “We know in time Vanderbilt football will be the best program in the country.”

In time? Like maybe the next time Halley’s Comet is supposed to be seen in July 2061?"

Wanna watch the Vandy Hawaii game but staying away from it
