Every summer since 2007 I have created an intricate set of college football predictions for each upcoming season.  This year is no exception, as I will be using my blog over the next few weeks to publish my 19th annual college football preview guide which will contain 19 entries in all. Over the past decade, I have made my college football offseason more expansive by predicting the outcome of every single game that is played by every FBS team over the course of the entire regular season season.  I obviously sprinkle a few upsets in there when favored teams matchup poorly with inferior opponents or play them at inopportune times.  Last season, I picked 16 correct upsets in this entry including most notably South Carolina over Texas A & M, Georgia Tech over Miami-FL, South Carolina over Missouri, and Oklahoma over Alabama. This year’s upset picks are listed below in chronological order, and the 10 upset picks that will be the most impactful to the college football playoff picture are marked in bold.  Also, the (H), (A), and (N) monikers written on each line represents whether or not the the team pulling off the upset is playing the game at home, away from home, or at a neutral site. I have also included my reasons why each upset is going to happen in parentheses next to each pick.
