LSU winning the SEC West? Ballsy Nik-I think Coach O gets canned at the end of the year.

Especially when you can include Nebraska on that list

Alright, thanks for the edit. I get where you are coming from now...and I like it.

Noticing some Miami love above. For some reason that program has completely fallen off my radar. Have they really been recruiting that well? They just seem like a complete afterthought to me.

Big 10: Michigan State over Wisconsin (Sleeper: Northwestern)

Baylor went 1-11 last year. Wheels already came off. They’ll win between 4-6 games this year.
 
ACC: Clemson over VaTech
SEC: Bama over Georgia
Big XII: West Virginia over Oklahoma
PAC 12: Washington over Utah
B1G: Wisconsin over Ohio State

Playoffs: Bama over West Virginia, Washington over Clemson
Title: Washington over Bama

The only thing I feel near positive of is that Clemson and Bama will be in the playoffs, as they have crazy easy schedules. The PAC 12 South may also be the toughest division in the country to pick this year. Head says USC, gut says Utah, deep rudimentary pieces of my brain wouldn't be surprised to see Arizona make a valiant effort. And of course, Colorado.

The SEC Champion will get in, but I don't think we'll have both Alabama and Georgia like last year-I'd be stunned if they don't meet in the SEC title game. Clemson doesn't have it as easy-Texas A&M will give them a game, Florida State in Tallahassee (even in a down year) will be tricky, and didn't NC State take them to the wire two years ago at home?

We should be better as a conference, and the Big 12 I gotta think is going to be a little down. The Big 10 is wide open-especially given the Urban Meyer news.
 
ACC: Miami over Clemson (year two for Miami being back on full scholarships, history says they either win big or get in trouble again)
B1G: Ohio State over Wisconsin (Wisconsin shjts the bed once again in the B1GCG and everyone in the mid-West forgets about the current tOSU scandal by October 1)
Pac-12: USC over Washington (UCLA has an easier schedule than USC though)
Big 12: no idea, don't care (maybe I should, but I just can't. don't like any of those teams and don't hate them like most Buffs who were around for the XII days. except Iowa State -- fvck those assh0les)
SEC: no idea, only mildly care (doesn't seem to matter anyway with a system that awards a "national championship" to teams not good enough to even compete for their own conference championship)
MWC: Boise over UNLV (but Wyoming, CSU and AFA are all good enough to get bowl bids. I think it will actually be interesting to watch local football outside of CU)

playoffs: Ohio State and 3 SEC teams (dark horse: Miami slips in)

I was around for those years and ISU was a school I didn't despise. Texass, KSU, MO, f*** Baylor were the ones I hated (Baylor more so after we escaped). The aTm band looked like little brownshirts in their unis but the fans were pretty tolerable, especially for Texans.
ISU was relatively harmless except for the one time a season they would rise up and smack some favored team across the mouth. Otherwise their fans seemed OK and they had decent academics. No big scandals either, so they ran what at least appeared to be a clean program.

There was this game though
