What team(s) with a great first half of the season will have a horrible 2nd half of the season?

Whether injuries are getting to them or their toughest stretch is in November. There are many reasons why this would happen. Who do you think will have this happen to them?

Colorado

Washington State/Oregon

LSU is a possibility

Kentucky could fade

NC State has cornered the market on this category

Duke

Big10 is very top heavy and many of them have already
played each other.

Big12 appears to be headed for a mad scramble.

I think WVU is out of the Top 25 by year's end, Cincinnati I see 3 losses , Duke will lose 3 more , I think Texas loses 2 times , Colorado will probably finish 7-5.

I'll say Texas A&M. Despite playing the toughest schedule already, they still have a ton of difficult teams left to play:

Miss St
Auburn
LSU
Ole Miss
UAB (who is surprisingly a 5-1 team, but on a terrible schedule so doesn't mean much really)

That said, if they can manage only 3 losses off this season with that, that's a hell of an accomplishment.

Ranked teams already played:

Clemson
Alabama
Kentucky

LSU #1 in FEI.

Who do you see them losing to? Maybe the CCG but the only one looking good is Iowa State. They get them in Austin.

@ Okie Lite
West Virginia
@ Texas Tech
Iowa State
@ Kansas

Not really.

Wisconsin and Iowa still play PSU
Michigan still plays MSU, OSU and PSU
OSU still plays Mich and MSU
PSU still plays Mich, Iowa, and Wisc

The best is still yet to come. We've seen what Michigan play Wisconsin. MSU play PSU and OSU play PSU.

If they are not careful and go back to who they are, Georgia could have some issues on the back half of the season. They have a 6-1 Florida, 5-1 Kentucky and even the unpredictable Auburn coming up all in row. It is not inconceivable that they could lose two of those games. LSU exposed some the their weaknesses and don't think those teams are not looking at that film and thinking how to exploit those weaknesses.

Just looked at what ISU has left and they very well could run the table. Their schedule was front end loaded for the most part.

I ain't buying Tech...yet. Too much overreaction tothe TCU win IMO. The horny toads could well end up below .500 before this is over.

I thought more along the line of who they have played
and who they have remaining.

They could be running out of emotional gas

They are mostly #1 because of their special teams ranking, which is apparently treated as being equal to offense and defense.

LSU:
Offense: #35
Defense: #18
Special: #1

Alabama:
Offense: #2
Defense: #1
Special: #60

So even though LSU is #1 in the overall stat, it's not a trade I'd want to make.

Iowa State always plays Texas very well, a lot of time ISU and their fans are crying about how the ref cost them a game over a call in the first half.

I can see West Virginia beating Texas. Oklahoma State and Texas Tech could be trap games.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Okie Lite didn't win another game. Baylor's the only one they will probably be favored in.

I don't know about horrible, but it's hard to imagine Kentucky having as good a second half as they did a first half. Others in that category include Colorado, West Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, Central Florida, South Florida, Cincinnati & Washington St.
