While it may not look like it on paper, week 2 is important for every single one of our teams. In one way or another, we all have something to prove (or disprove) this weekend.
Miami-Oklahoma
I won't always lead off with my Canes, but they have the biggest matchup this weekend. I remember telling my UM friends 3 or 4 years ago that there were going to be years where the Canes (gasp!) would not necessarily contend for a national title. They all laughed at me and told me to shut up. Three years later, we are still without so much as an ACC title. This recent lack of success has not, however, changed expectations in Coral Gables. UM people still expect to win national titles. If Miami wants to compete nationally this year, they must leave Norman with a win. Unfortunately, I think the Canes are a year away from competing (at least nationally). Oklahoma's D bottles up the Miami O just enough to win.
Oklahoma 21 Miami 14
Clemson-ULM
The Tigers are notorious for riding the focus roller coaster - it's what ruined their season last year. If the Tigers want to go to JAX, they must show that they can retain intensity from week to week. This game against Monroe is the first step towards this goal. Tigers focus enough to run a clearly inferior ULM team off the field.
Clemson 38 ULM 7
Georgia-South Carolina
Georgia looked good last weekend. However, if the Dawgs want to win the SEC this year, they need to pick up home wins against SEC rivals. Carolina looks a little suspect, and Darth Visor's decision to start Blake Mitchell makes the Dawg D's job a little easier. Georgia wins in surprisingly easy fashion between the hedges.
UGA 28 Carolina 10
Free Shoes-UAB
Honestly, the Noles looked terrible on Monday night. As I have told a number of my FSU friends, the Jimbo Fisher hire was nice, but it's not going to pay immediate dividends. Much like the Kyle Wright/Kirby Freeman two-headed monster, FSU's Weatherford/Lee combo is frighteningly bad right now. In addition (with the possible exception of the last 1/3 of the game), FSU looked listless and downright lazy on offense and defense - they also looked pretty slow at times. The Noles need to hammer UAB this weekend and prove that they aren't going to fold like last year. Noles get well for a week and hammer a bad UAB team.
