Hasn't Michigan been on the verge for like 90 years or something?

I see nothing wrong with this list. Except Nebraska, because Nebraska is going to be bad again.

Thinking in terms of title runs....


Texas A&M - I don't see it. Admittedly because I don't have a ton of faith in Jimbo, but also because the SEC West is very strong. Tough road to get through.

Michigan - They have enough talent in my opinion... more talent than I would expect given their lack of success recently (granted, recent 10 wins seasons with Harbaugh). I think it is definitely more likely than A&M.

Nebraska - Hard to gauge, all depends on what Frost can do. He is bringing a lot more attention and hype than we have seen in the past decade and that does a lot for recruits, viewership, acknowledgement, etc... I wouldn't call it likely, but given Frosts success at UCF, I also wouldn't rule it out. In terms of getting back to 9+ win seasons and competing for the conference (winning the division), I think that is pretty likely.

Utah - I also don't see it here. I think Utah has been solid recently and I like Whittingham and I could see them winning the conference, but I don't think they would make the playoff/win it.

Oregon - Kind of the same as Utah, but I think Oregon is better suited to compete with other schools at a higher level.

Baylor - Huh? I think Ruhle inherited a shit situation and has done much better than some may have expected, but I just don't see it. Texas and OU are the only schools to worry about in the Big12, which works to Baylors advantage, but their OOC is atrocious and the rest of the Big12 is mediocre at best. Not enough there to make a solid run. But if we are talking in terms of being on the verge of returning to 8-10 win seasons... I could see that.

Houston - On the verge of what exactly? Competing with UCF? Sure, I guess.

North Carolina - Um, wtf? I think they may return to bowl eligibility soon, but I don't see them coming that close to making, letting alone winning the conference or making any substanial post season appearance.
