Okay here we go. Setting the scale for most winnable at 5 and least winnable at 1.

Oklahoma is a three touchdown favorite, Indiana is a 10.5 point favorite, Vandy is a 6.5 point favorite. I'd say it's not unreasonable to expect the MT@UK and Baylor@UTSA lines to be more in that 7-10 range rather than the neighborhood of 21.

If FAU is indeed as likely to win in Norman as MT is to win in Nashville, or FIU is to beat Indiana at home, the conference race won't be remotely close, either that or OU is winning about seven games.

Yep. East like always will be tough again. I see FIU and ODU being dark horses but FIU has way more talent so i can comfortably put them together with FAU,Marshall and you guys in a fight for the east. I think OU is being somewhat overhyped and while i understand they are one of the blue bloods and can beat the heck out of anyone if they are at it but FAU is no walk in the park and will give them a fight and with some luck and some good play calling kiffin may get it done after all. I think FIU might surprise Indiana and who knows Stockstills might get that win over the commodores too. Of course these predictions and the talking heads can say what ever they want but the minute players set on the field is when things start happening for real and i might end up being utterly wrong with my rankings who knows but i will cheering every team from the conference in that OOC part because that is where we have a chance to separate ourselves from the rest.
