Could have gone with mighty Syracuse or Virginia I suppose

Not that I know of, so you're probably right.

I hear Duke's gonna be really solid.....


nm that's just what bama fans say

Colorado is already picked to finish dead last in the PAC South by most media and analyst.

Yes, but they are still overrated.

My bad dawg. I counted the one hall of fame bowl before it changed names. How bout hardly ever instead of never?

Since Outback Bowl Inception (1995):

Outback Bowl: 4
Sugar Bowl: 4
ChickFilA/Peach: 3
Capital One Bowl: 3
Music City Bowl: 1
Oahu Bowl: 1
Independence Bowl: 1
Liberty Bowl: 2
Gator Bowl: 1
Belk Bowl: 1
Taxslayer Bowl: 1
Rose Bowl: 1

Based on the games played, the Outback is as likely of a destination as any.

So you gonna count Chick-fil-A and peach the same, but not outback and hall of fame? Come on man

tbh, that actually might be the correct answer

UVa was picked to win the Coastal and Syracuse was picked to finish 2nd in the Atlantic. those two teams would be my picks b/c i think the gap between them and the teams picked them is pretty thin

I started in 95 when the bowl name changed. No Hall of Fame games were excluded.

Michigan has the expectations this year, not THE IMO, based on exactly what you stated.

The media selected us as B10 champs but OSU was a close second, and most pre-season polls have OSU ranked higher than Michigan. I have to believe OSU has the potential at falling further than Michigan does. What if Fields sucks? What if he gets injured on the first snap of the first game? That team is hinging entirely on 1 guy's performance.

 

[Olyduck]

SHerbert has choking tendencies whenever he has to play on the road. Ducks lose to Auburn and then lose 3 more.

Final record = 8-4.

not accurate but ok.

ACC: Syracuse - Eric Dungy was a baller at Syracuse, now Cuse's loses their best player.

BIG: Nebraska - 42nd in S&P+ Offense and 55th in S&P+ Defense in 2018. I know they'll be better but let's just slow down and enjoy the process NU fans. Total wins: 8.5? I'll take the under.

BIG12: Oklahoma - Jalen Hurts will be really good at OU but he's not Mayfield or Murray. OU loses to Texas in the conf. championship

PAC: Oregon - A team that finished unranked, 31st in S&P+ Offense and 50th S&P+ Defense is now somehow 12th in some pre-season polls. I guess Kayvon Thibodeaux will make Oregon that much better

SEC: LSU - LSU finally has an offense? I have to see it to, believe it first

 

[Texas Jefe]

Big 12: Texas - Texas is not entirely back, would be fun to see them back as it would rustle the jimmies of almost everyone on this board. They have a lot more to replace on their defense than folks realize, they face a tough schedule and their offense currently doesn't have any big play capability. They still have a solid season but end up behind Oklahoma State, Iowa State and of course Oklahoma in the Big 12 standings.

This is WHY THIS MUST HAPPEN

Oh my goodness, it would be epic

All of your "analysis " was based on 2018. Try analyzing what will happen in 2019.

I disagree. Michigan does.

Ohio State is in a rebuilding year IMO on many fronts.

If Michigan does not deliver this year, Michigan as a team and national brand are in trouble.

 

[psaboy]

Totally agree.
Nothing better than 11-3 this year.
Next year is 16-0.

They do have a weak non conference schedule in 2020. Road games at NW, OSU, WI and IA though so not sure if the 16-0 is likely. JMO

Washington is still the better coach team

And will win the PAC

Yeah, even if they win ‘em all, 16 is going to be tough.

But I did admit I was really drunk.

I just don’t see it happening. Every year for Michigan since Harbs got there it seems like that was supposed to be the case. And every year they can’t seem to get over the hump. It’s Ohio State’s conference until somebody else is able to prove otherwise with or without Urban Cryer.

Cristobal seems like a really good guy and he pulled in a nice class, especially by PAC 12 standards but to me he just seems absolutely clueless as a head coach. The 27-47 record he compiled at FIU doesn’t exactly inspire confidence either. The Conference USA is arguably the most miserable conference in football. You’d think he would have posted a better record in such a bad conference. By comparison Butch Davis has gone 17-9 there in his first two seasons and he inherited an absolute mess.
