College Football Picks Week 0

This week serves as a prequel to the rest of the season, there are only five games this weekend, and none of them will be grabbing national headlines. The season starts in earnest next weekend, with a full slate of games from Thursday the 2nd through Monday the 6th.

Hawaii @ UCLA (Saturday 2:30 PM Central)

I am pretty bullish on Hawaii this season and bet the over on 7 wins for the Rainbow Warriors this year. They finished last year a solid 72nd in my ratings and return every contributor on defense including all 11 starters. UCLA figures to be improved and has an experienced quarterback in Dorian Thompson-Robinson, but Hawaii is a top half team in the MWC.
