THE MORNING BREW Predictions for upcoming football season
With the kickoff of the pigskin, there are things we always know. Ore-
pigstail the season we always know. Oregon will never wear the same thing twice, Alabama will play good defense and Kansas State will play ugly football whether it's successful or not. We all know these things. Why write about them? I'm here to give you three things you DON'T know. Three of those bold predictions. Take a seat, grab a notebook, because these things may — or may not — come true.
1. West Virginia will win the Big 12 Championship. The first year conference newbies boast one of the top offenses in the country.
The Mountainerers scored 69 points in their season opener while tallying more than 650 yards. Quarterback Geno Smith was a nearly perfect 32-36 passing, with 323 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also added 65 yards and a touchdown on the
ground. Tavon Austin is one of the most electrifying players in college football and he runs, catches, and returns kicks for West Virginia.
This offense has all of the weapons to rack up the points in the Big 12, and that's how you win the conference. This is a scoring league, and West Virginia can do it with the best of them. With a poor first week showing from Oklahoma, this conference is wide open for West Virginia to claim it.
2. Oregon DeAnthony Thomas scores 25 touchdowns and is a
Heisman finalist in New York. Just a sophomore, the Duck's Mr. Everything is a threat to score every time he touches the ball.
With just seven touches from scrimmage, Thomas scored three times in the season opening 57-34 win over Arkansas State.
An electric runner, Thomas
An electric runner, Thomas is the type of player defenses fear the most. If he gets in open space, as Oregon offense likes to do, watch out.
He might just keep running all the way to the Heisman Ceremony in New York.
3. Florida State returns to the National Championship for the first time since 2000.
The Seminoles are primed for a breakout year and have all of the necessary factors in their favor.
The schedule is favorable. The ACC has lacked its luster for the
past few years, and Florida State gets their toughest tests at home. Clemson and Florida both come to Tallahassee, and it appears the only road test is at Virginia Tech. If the Noles can get past that game, the door is wide open for a championship run. Senior quarterback EJ Manuel has loads of experience and leads an offense full of playmakers.
An enormously talented defense will be the strength of the squad as head coach Jimbo Fisher takes his third year at the helm.
The 'Noles have 19 wins in the past two years including two bowl victories.
With one slip in the always tough SEC, LSU, Alabama or another team could lose its spot in the title game. Look for Florida State to match up with USC come January 7th.
Markem down, ladies and gentleman. I'll keep a tally on them, too, and maybe update you every now and then on my success — or failures. Football season will make it fun to wait and see.
And here's a bonus pick for those who stuck around.
The Hawks don't win another game after Rice this weekend. The Big 12 is too tough.
But we'll see about that one too. Regardless, it's good to have football back.

Royals beat Rangers, Gordon and Giavotella score
Gordon broke a 2-all tie in the fifth with a two-run shot off Matt Harrison, the third home run he has allowed to a left-handed hitter this season.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jeremy Guthrie pitched seven strong innings and the Kansas City Royals got home runs from Alex Gordon and Johnny Giavota in a 6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.
After Salvador Perez's run-scoring double with two outs, Harrison
was replaced by Roy Oswal. It was a rare short night for Harrison (15-9), who has pitched at least eight innings in eight starts. He fell to 10-5 away from home, tied with Tampa Bay ace David Price for the most road victories in the American League.
Harrison allowed five runs, three earned,and eight hits.
The Royals scored a pair of unearned runs in the third after an error by second baseman Ian Kinsler.
Giavotella connected off Oswalt, ending a drought of 185 at-bats with his first home run since Sept. 3,2011.
Guthrie (4-3) held the Rangers to two runs and five hits. He went 3-9 with Colorado before the Royals acquired him in a July 20 trade for Jonathan Sanchez.
After Josh Hamilton and Adrian Beltre started the ninth with singles off Kelvin Herrera, Greg Holland came on to earn his 11th save in 13 opportunities. Hamilton scored on
Michael Young's sacrifice fly.
Guthrie gave up a home run to Elvis Andrus in the first inning. Mitch Moreland's double in the second scored Geovany Soto.
After giving up five hits to his first 10 batters, Guthrie did not allow another hit. Lorenzo Cain reached on Kinsler's error in the third and scored on Alcides Escobar's double, which snapped an 0-for-21 skid. Escobar went to third on Gordon's ground-out and scored on Billy Butler's
sacrifice fly.
NOTES: Japan committed to play in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, but Rangers RHP Yu Darvish was non-committal about whether he will participate. Darvish refused to talk about the possibility, but instead issued a statement through the Rangers: "We're in the middle of the season. I have no comment on the issue." ... The Royals recalled RHP Jeremy Jeffress from Double-A Northwest Arkansas. Jeffress did not allow an earned run
in 6 2-3 innings in two previous stints this season with Kansas City. ... 1B Eric Hosmer was held out of the Royals' lineup. Hosmer is hitting .224 against left-handers, while Harrison had limited left-handed batters to a .189 average entering the game. ... Rangers C Mike Napoli, who went on the disabled list Aug. 11 with a strained quadriceps, ran on the field for the second consecutive day with cleats. If he has no soreness Wednesday, Napoli could try running the bases.
