I would have to say that Kent vs. Delaware State will be pivotal!
I mean the Delaware State Band out dancing, playing and stomping the Kent band and their always out-of-synch flag corps......
Actually, I think the pivotal games of the season will be Jacksonville State @ Georgia Tech, Temple @ Army, Appalachian State @ LSU, Charleston Southern @ Miami.....WTF! Seriously though early season games that could impact a team's season are:
Michigan State @ Cal
Kentucky @ Louisville
Cincinnati @ Oklahoma
South Florida @ Central Florida
