Agree, generally pretty boring. I'll watch some of these just to see the new kids but not for much else. This is a 12-0 opener before conference play.
Only interesting games to me are Iowa and Drake. We don't win at IC and they don't win at Hilton (generally) so expect us to win going away later in the game. We both lost POY's but I think we have a lot more coming back (and coming in) than they do. The only moderately challenging game might be Drake. Drake is at home and will be well coached and super motivated, so, = good game.
Alabama isn't a good P5. They haven't even been to the NCAA's in 20 years. It is a road game but a P5 in name only.
Tempted to roadtrip up to Fargo just for the heck of it.
