Hlastradamus returns, so let the season begin

After a summer of teaching Miley Cyrus how to dance, Hlastradamus is back to share his college football selections.

There is profit in heeding a prophet, but remember this: Hlastradamus is not responsible for anyone but his customers in the 15th Century.

Massachusetts +44.5 at Wisconsin. UMass must be UMass Confusion on a football field to earn such an enormous number, but Gary Andersen won't have the Badgers in full-destroy mode right out of the gates.

Iowa -3 vs. Northern Illinios. A homer pick? No, because most of the commenters on this blog (the operative word is "commenters," not "readers") tend to go Negative Nellie.

Texas A&M -26.5 vs. Rice. Someone has to pay for all the meddling into the Aggies' business this summer, and that someone is something that goes well with red beans at Popeye's. Namely, Rice.

Nebraska -30 vs. Wyoming. It's the Cowboys against the world Saturday in Lincoln. Always go with the world.

SMU +5.5 vs. Texas Tech (Friday). No reason given. Mystics explain only what they want to explain, and the schmoe typing this in wants to go home.
