Week 1: Utah at Michigan
This game might be as intriguing as any opener in the country. There's so much anticipation and mystery surrounding Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez and his radically new offensive scheme in Ann Arbor that the Wolverines probably would be better off playing a Football Championship Subdivision team in the first game.[READ FULL STORY]
