The first full week of college football is here. After months and months of talking about the transfer portal, NIL deals, coaching changes and recruiting updates, we have finally arrived at Week 1 of the 2022 college football season.

The predictions will come from Zachary Neel, Don Smalley and Andy Patton of Ducks Wire; Matt Zemek, Donovan James, and Matt Wadleigh of Trojans Wire; and Jack Carlough and Tony Cosolo of Buffaloes Wire. Regional editor Patrick Conn will also weigh in with his predictions.
