Tennessee may actually outperform expectations since the pressure is off this year

We play Ohio State twice this year!?

August 26th, 2017 at 2:02 PM ^
No worries, UMAB. My hot take is that there won't be "that one game" this year. We'll beat the teams we should and be in every game until the end.

Columbus would literally burn to the ground. I think the fans would destroy the Horseshoe in rage before the team left the field.

Brian Kelly will be fired after this year and replaced by Urban Meyer.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:38 PM ^
August 26th, 2017 at 1:40 PM ^
I hope he stays at OSU, but I honestly think he'll be coaching ND next year. Kelly isn't going to get the 9 wins he needs to keep his job, and Meyer always said ND was the one place he could never turn down.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:44 PM ^
August 26th, 2017 at 1:50 PM ^
Meyer to ND makes no sense at all. He's not going anywhere. He has the perfect situation at cooler pooper U.

signs Mike Riley to a 7 year extension, and regrets it deeply in 2-3 years

When Mike Riley signs his 7 year extension, Scott Frost will become so angry at Nebraska for not giving him the opportunity that he will take the Illinois job this offseason (when Lovie Smith takes a job with the AFL2) where he will turn them into a perennial top 15 program just so he can torment Nebraska year in and year out as revenge.
August 26th, 2017 at 2:33 PM ^
I love Fleck to Minnesota and I'd love Frost to Nebraska.
Ferentz is an old head, Wisky is set and has a name. Fitz IS N'Western, Purdue just got a new coach, IMO, the best hire they've made in awhile. Lovie is non-threatening and interesting because of the NFL rather than the MAC ties.
Nebraska is the big one. Get Frost or Les Miles at Nebraska!

Nebraska wins the West. Iowa responds by signing Kirk Ferentz to an extension through 2047.

MSU will be much improved and win 5 games this year, almost making a bowl game but being passed on for other 5-7 teams because of poor apr rating

Indiana beats OSU
August 26th, 2017 at 1:48 PM ^
Who do you all have in your personal playoff predictions?
August 26th, 2017 at 2:27 PM ^
I'll go...
1. Michigan/OSU winner (I just can't bring myself to putting undefeated OSU #1 - so I'll say Michigan/OSU being undefeated with a win in the B1G Championship game)
2. Alabama (with a loss to Auburn and an SEC Championship game win)
3. Florida St. (with a loss to Alabama, BUT run the table after that)
4. *THIS IS WHERE I THINK WE HAVE THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL YEAR OF THE CFB PLAYOFF...who do you have for this #4 spot in this hypothetical?*
- 12-1 USC (loss to Stanford, but wins Pac-12 title over Washington)
- 12-1 Washington (undefeated regular season, but losses Pac-12 title to USC)
- 11-1 Stanford (BEATS USC, but losses to regular season undefeated Washington and misses Pac-12 title game)
- 12-1 Oklahoma St. (loss to Oklahoma in Big XII title game)
- 11-2 Oklahoma (loss to OSU and Oklahoma St, but beats Oklahoma St. in Big XII title game)
- 11-2 Wisconsin (loss to Michigan and B1G Championship game)
- 10-2 Clemson (loss to Auburn and FSU)
- 10-2 Louisville (loss to FSU and Clemson)
- 13-0 USF
- 10-2 Auburn (beats Clemson and Bama, but loses to Georgia and LSU)
August 27th, 2017 at 3:32 PM ^
That's USC all day in that 4th spot. I don't even think there's be controversy here. Sure, there'd be some unhappy fans, but not legit controversy.

Everyone knows we're breaking in new WRs, we don't have CB figured out yet (in a defense that relies on them heavily), and there's really no good reason to think the OL will be any better than last year's. But somehow that adds up in everyone's mind to 12-1 with a CFP berth.
August 26th, 2017 at 4:08 PM ^
might be a few less predictions of a CFP year in a more sober context

People crack me up with this rationale...how many road games worth a game has Michigan even PLAYED recently?
I assume you're throwing out the bowl win over Florida, right?
Do you add Utah? Harbaugh's first game?
Last year versus OSU is literally the only road game worth a damn we've had under Harbaugh and we lost by 3 in double OT to OSU.
We're 0-1, maybe 0-2 if you count the Utah game. But we're not counting @PSU two years ago or @MSU last year.
Are going to count this Florida game as a road game?
Sure we can go pre-Harbaugh, but we weren't winning home games worth a damn either back then (except for UTL 1 and 2).
August 26th, 2017 at 2:18 PM ^
Is @ND a road game worth a damn? What if they're still struggling?
Same with MSU.
If not, that makes OSU...again, the only one on next year where we can meet this criteria. Wisky and PSU are both home next year.
EDIT: Oh and you forgot 78-0 AT Rutgers last year.
