Predictions for the 2015 college football season - Page 3 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

The new playoff system will continue to expose the SEC.
No SEC team in title game for second straight year.
SEC petitions NCAA to go back to BCS, saying its unfair for champion to be decided on the field.

In 7 consecutive seasons, a playoff was held and the same conference won it all 7 times. One of those times, the runner-up was also from said conference.
The champion was determined on the field all 7 seasons.

In the 2014 bowl season, said conference went 7-5. The champion conference went 6-5.

Variance does exist. Winning 7 in a row is either a massive, massive fluke or something more indicative.

PC is an Alabama fan. You should know this. Will you be posting a lot about CFB this season? If so, please try to be respectful and intelligent. If you aren't very intelligent, it would be great if you tried hard to learn from those that are.

PC is also not an idiot. I don't understand your assumption that someone who is an idiot is most likely a UGA fan. There are many idiot fans. There are many idiot UGA fans. UGA does not have more than half the number of total idiot fans, therefore it is unreasonable to project that someone is probably a UGA fan if you consider him an idiot.

If rtd makes it through the college football season without getting banned something went horribly wrong

USC ends up being average, Sark gets the boot and they either convince Pete Carroll to come back or hire Kyle Whittingham.

Bama has top defense in the league and, unshockingly (but not predicted due to fatigue on their length of dominance), they win 12 games and make playoffs

Bama isn't predicted to win 9.5 games because people are sick of them. It's because their schedule is ****ing brutal and they have legit question marks on the team, starting with QB.

Norte Dame will be highly overrated in the polls and despite losing 4 games will continue to be talked about like they are a top 5 power. They will receive an invitation is one of the higher paying bowl games and get embarrassed but still make tons of cash.

Oddly this prediction somehow comes true every year...

Arkansas stumbles into a 3-0 record, jumps into top 4 with 24/7 media coverage.

I agree with that regarding Vegas o/u

I'm talking about everyone choosing auburn or lsu over them to come out of the West

They should have their best defense in years and half the sec has question mark at QB

the schedule is brutal so most likely we only win 10-11 games, but I'm still gonna predict we win the SEC and make the playoffs

I like Nick's optimism, but I can't help thinking of Bama's defense as this thing I saw against Ohio State.

osu is a lock to playoff. that schedule is just unfairly easy. they proly get waxed in the playoffs due to not having been challenged all yr. but that team is pretty unreal stacked.

You'll never see two Big 10 teams in the playoff. With Conference playoffs it's going to be really hard to justify more then one team per conference.

13-0 OSU
11-1 Mich St, only loss to OSU and plays like a top 4 team all year. PAC and ACC champs are 2 loss and clearly inferior to MSU. Why wouldn't Sparty get in?

Predictions:

Michigan improves a ton, in part because Harbaugh is good, but mostly because you have no idea how bad Hoke/Borges were and how much talent their ineptitude hid.

Same for Florida (but less sold on the HC)

WSU scores all the points. Utterly stacked WR corps, decent running backs, veteran o-line. Maybe stops nobody and will be avg record wise, but will be fun to watch.

Stanford loses two more games than they should, because David Shaw is a stupid turtle and Kevin Hogan is avg at best.

Bama loses 3 games including this weekend.
