Non homer pick would maybe be someone from the AAC other than UL making it inside the top 20.

Marshall has a chance to be very good this year and may squeak into the top 25 at some point.

2/3 were spot on....

Fresno will win the MWC and will be ranked at the end of the year.

UCLA wins the Pac

Another one that 2/3 were spot on- and 3rd had a really good shot late in season!

I really can't see Wisconsin beating Penn State...

Good call!

won 9 games last year, 2vs AQ schools, beat a ranked team on the road, all 4 losses came to teams with 10+ wins. 3rd year starter at QB with 65% comp, 134.8 QB rating, good head coach, and a weak schedule.

OOC this year- Illinois State, Army, @North Texas, @Virginia.

In conference they play Toledo and Kent State at home, NIU on the road.

10 wins is realistic, with a little luck they could run the table.

lookey there, Ball State sits at 10-2.

Huh,

nobody had Missouri, Auburn. Baylor or Mich. State. Not even Minnesota or Iowa.

Congrats to the dude that picked Duke and equally impressive the dude that picked UCF, Fresno and UCLA (2/3 right)
