Week 1 Match-Ups

NCAA · Steve Poyner · September 1, 2016

A new feature this year: every FBS match-up gets the Formula's pick against the spread. Over the last three years my top-game picks are 68%. Many call this the best opening week ever.

SF Top Match-ups

  1. Stanford 38 – Kansas St 24
  2. Oklahoma 35 – Houston 28
  3. Texas A&M 31 – UCLA 28
  4. LSU 24 – Wisconsin 14
  5. North Carolina 31 – Georgia 27 — Trubisky ruins Smart's debut.
  6. Alabama 31 – USC 21
  7. Clemson 28 – Auburn 21
  8. Notre Dame 28 – Texas 20
  9. Florida State 28 – Ole Miss 17 — Dalvin Cook leads FSU away late.
