I can't decide who to back in the UM-Bama game. I hate scUM, but there's also the Saban factor (although that soften a bit after seeing some of the things he's said about MSU recently, seems to be boosting the program quite a bit) and the fact I'd like to see a Big Ten team knock of a top SEC team. At the end of the day I can't cheer for UM though, so I'll likely be backing Bama and hoping both teams leave Dallas beat up.

More important though is tomorrow nights MSU-Boise St game. Should be a good early season test for both teams, but I don't think Boise has what it takes to win in East Lansing, not this year. Breaking in anew QB against that defense is going to be ugly, and while MSU also has a new QB they have the benefit of returning 4 starters on the line and a premier RB. I see it coming down to who has the better defense, and barring any unforeseen developments that's MSU.
