Call this an off the wall picks or whatever one would term it. I always enjoy seeing what other folks are thinking about the upcoming college football season that just can't seem to get here soon enough.
Big 12 Thoughts
As wild as this may sound after looking at the schedule I can see the following 4 teams sitting at 8-0.
Baylor- ( @SMU, Lamar, Rice, Texas Tech, @ Kansas , West Va, Iowa State, @ Kansas State )
Oklahoma - ( Akron, @ Tennessee, Tulsa, West Va, Texas, @ KSU, Texas Tech, @Kansas, Iowa State )
Oklahoma State ( @ C Mich, UCA, UTSA, @ Texas, KSU, @ West Va, Kansas, @ TT )
TCU - ( @ Minn, SFA, SMU, @ TT, Texas, @KSU, @ISU, WVA )
* If this pans out like I think the final 4 weeks of the season we will see one great match-up after another and I think the B12 Title will be up for grabs.
Texas will beat ND in the opener and in fact will start 3-0 before they start losing to the above 4 teams.
Kansas will finish ahead of both ISU and Texas Tech in the B12 this season.
Across College Football
Ohio State will go into their final 2 games undefeated only to lose to both Michigan State and then get upset by Michigan.
Alabama will lose at least 2 games and possibly 3. They will lose to Wisconsin in the opener.
Georgia will represent the SEC in the playoffs this season with an undefeated mark.
Michigan will upset Utah to start the season and be 6-0 going into the MSU game. They lose a tight one.
Michigan State wins the B10 and makes the playoffs.
The PAC 12 Champion gets left out of the playoffs as their champion has at least 2 losses in conference play.
Clemson wins the ACC and makes the CFP and runs the table.
Notre Dame stumbles to an 8-4 season.
Boise runs the table but as expected finishes no higher than 7th in the committee's poll.
Penn State starts 5-0 before falling to Ohio State
Nebraska starts 5-0 before falling to Wisconsin. If they beat Wisconsin only MSU could possibly stand in the way of an unblemished season.
Missouri starts 6-0 but loses 4 of last 5.
Tennessee will finish 2nd in the SEC East and upsets Alabama along the way.
Arkansas continues to improve under Coach B and makes a run at 10-2 and 6-2 in SEC play.
Auburn doesn't live up the pre-season hype and loses 4 games and maybe 5.
LSU wins the SEC West but falls to UGA in SECCG.
Michigan State, Georgia, Clemson and TCU are the Playoff 4.
TCU defeats Michigan State in the 2015-16 National Championship Game.
