Worst P4 Division?

I'm not either, but it's at Nebraska, and we've yet to see what Taysom Hill is gonna look like coming back from his injury.

This is true. But we also don't really know what Nebraska is gonna be like with their new HC. If Taysom Hill even resembles himself from last year, then it being the first game of the year I think BYU wins. What was Hill's injury? I can't remember off the top of my head

EDIT: If it was a minor fracture then he should fully recover no problem. Did not realize he was almost 25 though

Fractured leg and ligament damage. I like Reiley though. I also like Tommy Armstrong, and they have some decent weapons. It could actually be a decent game to watch, honestly.

No doubt it'll be fun to watch. I've always enjoyed watching BYU play for some reason. I'm just not 100% sold on Reilly and Nebraska yet and it being the first game, I can see them struggling. It does help though that its in Lincoln

This is true, being the first game and all.

So do you guys have any concerns about Wisconsin?

My biggest concern for the Wisky game will be what the offense looks like. I think we'll be fine at RB and even OL. I'm still not sold on Coker yet, Cornwell has impressed me. I like our chances to beat Wisky simply because of our front 7 on defense and I don't think Wisky can the throw the ball too well and you have to be able to throw to beat Bama. However, I do think our secondary will be better this year. Couldn't get much worse than the last couple years lol

I think Reilly is a very good coach. He is well respected. I also think he does well early. Pelini is Pelini. Kids may respond to a more relaxed atmosphere. Question is how well will he recruit in the long run.

I really don't worry about Wisconsin. Barry is always there. I think that means the floor will always be high, but it also probably limits Wiscon's ceiling

BYU is seasoned in what they do. Same system for what seems like ever.
Huskers have a new system on defense, but Riley is apparently going to stay with the old offense (to fit Armstrong's strengths), which isn't Riley's offensive forte. Tommy Armstrong had a lot of turnovers and a low 50% completion rate as a sophomore. I don't know that he has the mindset to be a top caliber QB. He does have a QB coach now, so maybe that'll make a difference.
Nebraska's been soft up-front for a long time. There is a new strength and conditioning coordinator, but I don't know that you fix that in 8 months.
If Nebraska struggles with BYU then I expect they'll lose @ Miami.

He also blew his knee out his freshman year late in a game on a run up the middle when all BYU needed to do was kneel down and let the clock run out.

Right now I'd say ACC coastal as well, but I don't think that will last long - Virginia Tech and Miami will raise back up shortly and both be in the National Title picture again, just don't think it will happen in 2015.

Tossup b/t the B1G west and ACC Coastal.

Based on 2014 results,
PAC North has 2 teams that eat livers, 1 that fetches, and 3 that clean the lavatories.
B1G West has 1 team that takes names, 1 with chips on their shoulders, 1 little team that can, and 4 roadside trash picker-uppers.
ACC Coastal has 2 unlikely heroes, 4 lost boys, and 1 who gets sand kicked in their faces.
SEC East has 1 lucky SOB, 1 pretender, 1 up-n-comer, 2 what-have-you-done-for-me-latelys, 2 family secrets, and they all eat their own young.

I would say Georgia is more of a joke than an up-and-comer. They have been high in the SEC least standings for a while.

Allow me to translate -
lucky SOB = Mizzou
Pretender = UGA
Up-n-comer is Tennessee
what-have-you-done-for-me-latelys are UF & USCe
Family secrets are UK and Vandy

So Tennessee isn't the pretender?
