Worst power 5 teams

[Deep Creek]

Duke has been in a bowl game six of the past seven years and won three of those, went 8-5 in 2018, so being one of the worst P5 teams sounds legit.

Here's another thing I found interesting...while some may question the time frame. 12 years ago doesn't really seem that long to me. This is how fast a college football team can go completely to shit.

2007-08 Season.

Illinois was 9-4 with one of those being a Rose Bowl loss to USC.
Kansas was 21-1 with one of those being an Orange Bowl win over Va Tech.

Question is would a 12-1 Kansas have been in the CFP had it been in place for the 2007-2008 season?

Well the committee put an 11-1 Ohio State over an 11-2 Penn State that beat OSU and won the same division and conference as OSU so I would guess yes.

16 teams from Power 5 conferences

Average of 3 teams per conference need to be on the list, ACC gets four.

ACC Duke, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Louisville
B1G Illinois, Maryland, Rutgers
Big 12 West Virginia, K State, Kansas
PAC 12 California, Colorado, Oregon State
SEC Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Ol Miss


Definitely Dumpster fires Louisville, Rutgers, Illinois, Oregon State, and Arkansas.

Is Texas Tech going to be worse than West Virginia is the question for me in the Big 12. I say yes,

In the PAC 12 how can UCLA not be on this list? I am beginning to think that Chip Kelly lost his magic AKA Phil Knight money, and he is thinking of retirement and getting fired and getting paid his buyout, which is $9,000,000.

Over unders for the teams

• Duke: 6.5 (Over +205, Under -250)
• North Carolina: 4.5 (Over -108, Under -108)
• Georgia Tech: 4 (Over +124, Under -146)
  
• Louisville: 4 (Over +154, Under -184)

• Maryland: 4.5 (Over +124, Under -146)
• Illinois: 3 (Over -184, Under +154)

Rutgers is so bad, no line

• Kansas State: 5.5 (Over -108, Under -108)
• West Virginia: 5 (Over -146, Under +124)
• Kansas: 3.5 (Over +186, Under -225)

• Cal: 6 (Over -102, Under -114)
• UCLA: 5.5 (Over -108, Under -108)
• Colorado: 4.5 (Over -108, Under -108)
• Oregon State: 2.5 (Over +130, Under -155)

• Arkansas: 6 (Over +132, Under -156)
• Ole Miss: 5 (Over -114, Under -102)
• Vanderbilt: 5 (Over -136, Under +116)

If I went to Vegas to make a bet it would be Arkansas UNDER

I don't know about Arkansas, they lost to LSU, Ole Miss and AtM by a td or less and they have WKU, Portland St, Colo St and San Jose St in OOC. Looks more like a push to me.

I like Duke as an under. Same ACC schedule as last year that they won 3 games on, except they drop Clemson and pick up Syracuse...but their OOC schedule went from: Army, Northwestern, Baylor, NC Central to Alabama, Notre Dame, Middle Tennessee and NC A&T. They are going 2-2 OOC, so they need to improve from 3-5 to 5-3 to hit their 6.5. I don't see it, even with the Clemson to Syracuse swap. I don't expect them to lose by 50 to Wake Forest this year, but I don't expect them to win by 50 either.

Yep, that was just lazy reporting. Duke has an excellent football program and helluva HC.

Chip Kelly is just in a vastly different situation at UCLA than at Oregon. has more to do with what was already there and what wasnt

 

[douggie]

Wow, even in a list about sucking, my Blue Devils finish last. Just waiting for basketball season to start lads.

Hey man, come by the Duke page, don't be a stranger!
