Big XII
Texas - No really

SEC
Tennessee - They have the players, it was the coaching.
Florida - See Tennessee

BIG
Nebraska - Coaching actually does mean something
Michigan - With that new WR coach coming in and a new QB watch out.

ACC
North Carolina - I flipped a coin

PAC
UCLA - This is the easiest one.
Arizona State - It's going to be a fun year.

Michigan has the talent to compete, the offense just needs to get it together.

i would take Arizona, Utah and oregon over either UCLA or ASU

Iowa or Wisonsin...


Undefeated until they play in the Big 10 conference championship

Coach GQ pulls a rabbit out of the hat and the Red Faders are 10-2!

No shit. Really. I ain't kiddin'. They have a defense. Everyone stays healthy.

SEC...

Florida. They are playing 2 1-AA's and if they can upset So Carolina at home they could get
6 wins. (They still won't be bowl eligible (must beat 5 FBS schools) but they would have
upped their win total by 2.

The parade will be two miles long down University Avenue. I may even attend as a show of
State Unity.

Funny seeing an FSU fan making fun of anyone for shitty scheduling in order to get to 6 wins.

True, but we have a long term contract with Florida.

I think Arizona has a shot to win 9-10 games this year.

He sucked at defense and lost his position to a running back.

Even Alan Bosley could start for Texas Tech on D. Plus he’s a good dancer. So he could make the team simply for that.

Yeah, because we were required to open the season with Alabama last year...

Sheeeeeeit, at least we play OOC games outside the state of Florida, unlike UF...

UF played one last year, they are set for another 20 years.

I'm looking for PJ Fleck at Minnesota to have a big 2nd year. I'll also be following what Scotty Frost does.

I think Arizona could surprise depending on the development of the QB and what Sumlin does with the offense.

I hope to see West Virginia make a nice run in the Big12 and deep deep sleeper I have Taco Tech with a top 3 finish.

For the ACC I don't see a darkhorse, unless you count FSU beating out Clemson. Also, never count out Bobby Petrino, when you sleep on Louisville they can surprise.

SEC I can't pick anyone until they show me they have a QB. You could say Miss St but the talent isn't around him. If they didn't do it with Dak and Mullen I don't see it happening.

Group of 5 I hope we see BYU get its head out of its ass. A good BYU team seems essential to a good cfb season

Nebraska?

Have you folks checked out Nebraska's 2018 conference schedule? It's brutal. The Cornhuskers could very well finish with a 3-6 conference record in 2018, despite having an improved team.

I believe Frost will eventually turn around the Nebraska program, but methinks his first season could be rough.

Again, look at the Nebraska 2018 conference schedule...check out the three crossovers, and the locations of all the games.
