Teams not projected in the top 25 who could spring top 10-15 seasons. NOT LSU. Go.

Nebraska, South Carolina, Iowa, Boise State, Virginia, FAU

Tennessee might surprise people and crack the top 15. That’s a big stretch though. All of the others I could see.

Arizona might do some things with summy and Tate as his QB.

As per Sumlin protocol, they'll have one of the worst defenses in college football.

I think Kansas State can be a surprise team. Snyder usually does well when he has veteran teams, and they have a lot of starters returning, IIRC.

I was thinking the same, but I am not sure I trust Mario Cristobal yet at the top of a high caliber program.

I like Utah a lot this year.

I also like the Fightin' Seneca Wallaces if they get their QB situation figured out.

I'm intrigued by Colorado. 3 year starter at QB. Lots of WR talent. Defense needs to take a step forward if they want to make noise.

Even Minnesota won't be a cakewalk for the Huskers. They've had trouble with the Gophers in recent years.

Going to be a tough one.

Duke is going to go in raw on Miami.

This is Cut's best team.

We did last year. RichRod wasn't exactly putting out Saban level defense.

Arizona does return a lot of starters and we played a lot of freshmen last year. We could improve. Of course, the high point of Arizona football is a good season followed by a collapse when it's time to actually win something important.

You can now look forward to being national title contenders in September only for your season to come apart at the seams in October

I'm with you on this, and think Viator is doing a great job up there. Way back when, I had said he would be the best fit for you guys, and its looking like I was right.
I think the Cajuns will do better than expected this year, but I think (fear) that winning agasint ULM will not be part of that story.
