Your Pick for Biggest Bust in all 11 Conferences

[cooljack]

Michigan is probably a bust after barely hanging on to beat Army. If they play like that against OSU, they'll lose in a huge way.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

ACC: Georgia Tech
SEC: Kentucky
Big 10: Northwestern
Big 12: West Virginia
PAC: UCLA

AAC: South Florida
C-USA: Middle Tennessee
MAC: Northern Illinois
MW: Hawaii
SunBelt: Coastal Carolina

Ga tech has a new coach and new play styles to change from their wishbone or whatever it was

Kentucky even with an easy ass schedule they will suck,
Kentucky plays OOC Toledo, Eastern Michigan, UT Martin, Louisville like WTF the SEC is top heavy and the bottom feeders play crap schedules. Then Kentucky avoids Alabama, Auburn, texas A&M. Kentucky only plays the shit teams in the SEC

Northwestern is going to miss Clayton Thorson

West Virginia is basically replacing the entire offensive skill positions, with a crappy OL, and a new coach. Disaster

UCLA Chip Kelly does not care. OOC UCLA faces San Diego State, Cincinnati, and Oklahoma. They lost to Cincinnati and Oklahoma last year, and San Diego State will blow their doors off

ACC Ga Tech is 2-5
Big 12 West Virginia is 3-5
Big 10 Northwestern is 1-6
PAC 12 UCLA is 3-5
SEC Kentucky is 4-4

AAC USF is 4-4
C-USA Middle Tennessee is 3-5
MAC Northern Illinois is 3-5
MW Hawaii is 5-3
Sunbelt Coastal Carolina is 3-4

Good call on your P5 picks, solid all around. I don't know that I'd call UCLA a bust, per se, since they've been bad for so long and honestly have improved this year, but the rest have been horrible compared to recent years.

Pac-12: Oregon - I will open this up by mentioning I'm not high on Justin Herbert like everyone else is. I think a lot of his hype is around his size but he's really not that great of a QB. He surprisingly came back and it could be a big mistake. Oregon won't live up to expectations, they take a season opening loss to Auburn and finish behind Washington, Stanford and Washington State in the division.

Forgot all about this thread.

AAC: MickeyMouseU central florida

ACC: Clemson

B1G: Michigan

Big 12: Texas

C-USA: North Texas

MAC: Buffalo

MWC: Utah St.

PAC: Washington

SEC: Alabama

Sun Belt: Louisiana Lafayette

Good call with Washington.

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

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

Yikes on both of these.

 

[NU_FTW]

Good call with Washington.

I have a fair amount of that list that is confirmed busted

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

I nailed it with Texas, Fresno State and Troy

but that Oregon pick LOL

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Forgot all about this thread.

Needless to say I've had better picks LOL

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Good call with Washington.

HC "sweet Ps" a bust?


before today or after today?

 

[cwalke3408]

Yikes on both of these.

Looked into LSU a little bit more before the season started and ended up putting them 4th in my pre season poll

Oregon around 16, always knew they had the most talent in the PAC but question if they can put a full season without slipping and they've been close the last couple of weeks

Even with another loss, based on where they were in the preseason, Oregon wouldn't be a bust.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Syracuse might finish 3-9

they were ranked #19 in pre-season

lololol

They won't. It was either pickin between Oregon, Washington, or Utah

Depends on how you define bust

I took it as which team will just suck in their conference and overall standings. The pundits could have picked Northwestern to be 0-12 for all I know.

Others take it to mean, which team was the worst at meeting their preseason expectations. This one would be Nebraska all the way. Top 25 in the preseason in some poll, the pundits had them contending for B1G West Division. Nebraska is not even going bowling and is done winning games in 2019.

Not to mention, doing the preseason comparisons would have required the most work for me to put in and to do a lot of team comparisons. I have better things to do than that in August.

Thank god

 

[wingsauce7]

Thank god

Amen.

I am going to vote for Iowa State in the Big Xii. I fully expected them to challenge for the Big Xii this season, and they have been favored in all 5 games - yet are only (3-2).
