I'm going against the grain on many of these picks. No one needs to agree with me. See how I do.
CONF CHAMPS:
*SEC: Georgia
*Big10: Ohio St
*ACC: Clemson
*Big12: OklaSt
*Top Group of Five = Memphis. With this QB, I don't think it's crazy to think they can play w/ FlaSt.
...For the at-large teams, many notable exclusions. Just my opinion for various reasons.
Seven At-large teams:
*Alab: Will see how these SEC schedules play out. Tide should be able to navigate.
*Tex AM: First outsider pick. Opener is exactly the kind of game you'd want to play.
*Penn St: Franklin should be thinking ten wins. Head of the 2nd tier, schedule looks favorable.
*Nebraska: Another outsider pick. 6-0 start looks possible. I'm calling for their Rush DEF to be < 2.5 ypc.
*Virginia Tech: Key game @MiaFL. That might be an elimination game. I'm not that high on some ACC teams.
*Utah: Key game @OklaSt. I believe in the Rising/Whittingham ticket.
*Not Dame: Schedule looks quite favorable. Chance to be 10-1 going into the USC game?
