Welcome back guys and gals.  We are sitting here watching official Week 0 college football with Cal and Hawaii battling it out in Australia and we could not be more excited.  For this reason, we are here with a late night Friday night post which will be our penultimate preseason MEGA-POST!!!!  Tomorrow we will be back with the greatest of college football traditions: the College Gameday Season Preview.  Until then, check out the full slate of insane predictions below.  Many of them came waaaay too early to take seriously, and I don’t count these in any official record, but it sure is fun to look at now and it is even MORE fun to look back at these in January.  Enjoy.
