the picks

Houston, 9.5 over

USF, 8.5 over

Temple, 8.5 over

Cincinnati, 6.5 under

Memphis, 6.5 under

Navy, 6.5 under

Tulsa, 6.5 over

ECU, 5.5 under

UCF, 5 over

UConn, 5 under

SMU, 3.5, over

Tulane, 3.5 under

they give their reasoning in the article

I feel comfortable with Tulsa being over, but I don't think Cincy, Navy, and Memphis will all be under 6.5. Maybe 2 out of 3, but not all three.

Navy and Cincy over, Memphis under.

I guess we should just forfeit the year, everyone seems to have us figured out.

Keep underestimating UCONN, who returns almost everyone from last year.

Based on Tubs' track record, I'm guessing he pulls off 8 wins, knocking off like a Houston and USF at home, while losing to UConn and Tulsa. Getting people to think he is figuring something out, before tanking again next year.

Seems to be the pattern.

Guess we'll smash those same scrubs again

I've got Cincinnati winning 6...so yeah...under.

Not sure how that guy has UCF over at 5.0, and UC, Navy and Memphis all under at 6.5, meaning they can't win more than 6, and UCF will win at least 6. No way UCF equals or betters all those other 3.

I find it kinda hard to believe that they think navy will see that big of a drop.

I won't really be surprised if UCF is bowl eligible next year. We've had top 2-3 recruiting classes in the conference every year, so we have the talent. If the coaching staff is as good as we hope, 6 wins should be doable.

The biggest game on our schedule is Maryland. Beat them, we're likely looking at 3-1 before conference play. With ECU, Tulane, USF, Temple, UConn, Houston, Cinci, and Tulsa on our schedule, it's much more manageable to find 3 wins than 4.

Houston, 9.5 over

USF, 8.5 over

Temple, 8.5 over



The cream is rising to the top.

.

UConn will be over.

Temple is at least a 9 win team, so yes, over 8.5.

Maybe so, but he is saying that UCF will likely finish better than Cincy, Navy and Memphis, in overall record. I don't buy it.

Preseason polls are fun, but I do not put much faith in their predictions.

I said this to the UConn fans a couple of years back...

You have a team that went 0-for-12 last season. (Not trying to needle here, but let's be honest about what that means in terms of talent.)
You have a brand-new, rookie Head Coach.
You are changing systems.

It's likely to be a LONG year in Orlando. Probably a <3 win season.

Frost is going to have a tough year in Orlando if UCF fans are expecting 6 wins and a bowl after an 0-12 season.

They are already setting the standard really high...

Quick turnarounds are possible. Memphis won seven more games in the 2014 season vs the 2013 season. Other schools may have had similar experiences.
