Miami Ohio Defense


by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

The Red Hawks have been one of the worst programs in the country the last two years. They are just 2-22. But last year they improved from 0 wins to 2 wins. They will be hard-pressed to improve more this year. Miami could have a freshmen starting at quarterback. There are a lot of experienced juniors and seniors at quarterback in this league this year.

Wide receiver Teldrick Morgan of the New Mexico State Aggies


by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

New Mexico State was more competitive than last year's 2-10 straight up and 3-9 against the spread record suggests. I know that's a bold statement when you consider that NMSU has been one of the worst teams in the country over the past decade, posting just a 25-98 record. But coach Doug Martin is working his program, and in his third season we'll see if anything has taken root.

UNLV quarterback Blake Decker


by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

Look, I am going to keep this one short and sweet. UNLV is one of the worst teams in the country. They have been for the past decade (winning just two games seven times in 10 years), and this could be their worst team yet. The Rebels have just 10 starters back from a team that was outscored by 16.6 points per game last season. They also have a rookie head coach that they plucked from the high school ranks.

Idaho Vandals quarterback Matt Linehan


by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

With just five wins in four seasons, the Vandals have been wallowing in putrid obscurity out in Moscow. Paul Petrino is in his third season and is trying to lay the foundation for something better. Their season win total suggests that this team is vastly improved. But this program is a long way from being a factor in the Sun Belt.

Quarterback Braxton Miller of the Ohio State Buckeyes


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

The Buckeyes shouldn't have made it into the college football playoffs last year. There is no doubt in my mind that TCU was more deserving. But Ohio State did make the playoffs and then they ran the table, claiming another national title. With virtually the entire team back, the expectations are clear: do it again.

Michigan State QB Connor Cook


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Sparty has become a juggernaut in the Big Ten. After decades as an entertaining-but-underachieving sideshow in the league, Michigan State has become a Top 10 staple. And if Ohio State slips up at all this season then the Spartans are the team that may be best equipped to win the Big Ten title.

Wisconsin quarterback Joel Stave


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

The Badgers are on to their third coach in four years - not counting Barry Alvarez's cameo in the bowl game - with Paul Chryst now taking over after Gary Andersen's surprising departure. Wisconsin is learning new systems on both sides of the ball and trying to replace All-American back Melvin Gordon. But they should again be a factor in the Big Ten.

Michigan wide receiver Amara Darboh


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Jim Harbaugh brings his khakis and unblemished track record of success to Ann Arbor to try to resurrect a Michigan program that has floundered since the start of the 2008 season. Harbaugh has a veteran team to work with and will be installing new systems on both sides of the ball; systems similar to the ones he used to reinvigorate Stanford from 2007-2010.

Tommy Armstrong Jr. Nebraska Cornhuskers


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Bo Pelini was definitely a weird dude who was never fully embraced in Lincoln. However, all he did was lead the Cornhuskers to seven straight seasons with nine or more wins and exactly four losses. That wasn't good enough. Now Pelini is gone, and Mike Riley managed to fail his way upwards from Oregon State, taking over a stacked Nebraska program.

christian hackenberg penn state nittany lions


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

I was down on Penn State last year, but this team definitely exceeded my expectations, winning seven games and being incredibly competitive in nearly all of their losses. In fact, four of their six losses were by either five points or less or in overtime. They are much more experienced this year and plenty motivated after their bowl ban was lifted. But they still have a gap to close with the other elite teams in the league.

Minnesota Golden Gophers wide receiver KJ Maye


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Jerry Kill has very quietly done a great job of rebuilding the Minnesota program, leading them to back-to-back eight-win seasons. They are a respectable 22-19 in their last three years compared to a putrid 20-42 mark in the five seasons prior. And perhaps more than any team in the league, the Gophers are the Big Ten's X-Factor this year.

Iowa Hawkeyes quarterback C.J. Beathard


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

I really have no idea how Kirk Ferentz still has a job. Iowa had one of the easiest schedules in the country last year and was basically handed nine regular-season wins. Instead they flopped their way to 7-5 and then got wrecked by Tennessee in the bowl game. I don't see how this season is going to be any better.

Northwestern wide receiver Christian Jones


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

This is a crucial season for Pat Fitzgerald in Evanston. Northwestern posted six straight regular seasons at .500 or better from 2007-2012, capped with a 10-win campaign in 2012. But they've had back-to-back losing seasons and are struggling to keep up in a rapidly-changing league.

Maryland Terrapins wide receiver Levern Jacobs


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Last year I predicted that the Terps would be more competitive in the Big Ten than they were being given credit for. They responded with a respectable 4-4 league record and a 7-5 regular season that featured wins at Penn State and Michigan. It was a great rookie campaign for the program in their new home. But it's going to be much tougher sledding in Year 2 in the Big Ten.

Wes Lunt Illinois Fighting Illini


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

I was one of the only football handicappers in the country that was buying Illinois stock last year, easily predicting that the Illini would sail over their season win total. They didn't disappoint, winning six games and making it into a bowl game. They have a load of starters back. But a more difficult schedule should keep them from coming close to that number of wins this year.

Indiana quarterback Nate Sudfeld


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Last year the Hoosiers entered the season thinking they had enough firepower to snap their seven-year bowl-less streak and make their second postseason appearance in 22 years. However, quarterback Nate Sudfeld got injured early, and they gave away a must-win game against Bowling Green in Week 2. Things got away from them in league play, and Indiana was a dead-man walking by November.

Purdue Boilermakers wide receiver Danny Anthrop


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

I came up short with my prediction for Purdue last year as I thought they would get to four wins and go 'over'. A one-point loss at Minnesota and a touchdown defeat at Indiana in the season finale prevented that from coming to fruition. I don't think they'll get that close again this year.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights quarterback Chris Laviano


by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

I predicted last year that Rutgers would easily surpass their modest expectations in their first trip through the Big Ten. The Scarlet Knights have been a quietly solid program for a decade now. They recruit tough, hard-nosed, physical kids to come to Jersey, so they will have no problem banging heads in this league. However, this would've been a rebuilding year no matter what conference they were in, and the Knights should struggle in 2015.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish wide receiver Amir Carlisle


by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

A 7-1 start to the 2014 season meant the Irish had gone 28-6 under Brian Kelly since the start of the 2012 season. But then the train came off the tracks with the Irish losing four straight games to close the regular season. The Irish salvaged some pride with a bowl win over LSU. But the season evoked a lot of mixed emotions for Irish backers, with them falling short of their 7.5 season win total mark.

Brigham Young Cougars quarterback Taysom Hill


by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

I correctly predicted that BYU would stay 'under' their season win total last year, winning just eight games against an 8.5 total. They were impressively streaky last season, sandwiching a four-game losing streak between a pair of four-game winning streaks that included upset wins at Texas and Cal. The season ended with an OT bowl loss against upstart Memphis.

Army Black Knights quarterback A.J. Schurr


by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

I felt that Army blew a golden opportunity for a bowl-eligible season in 2014, sliding to just four wins despite an extremely experienced squad. Losses to bad teams like Wake Forest (by 3), Yale (in overtime), and Kent State (by 22) really sabotaged what could've been an excellent year.

Gunner Kiel Cincinnati Bearcats


by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

I was on the Cincinnati bandwagon last year, predicting at least eight wins and an easy 'over' against the season win total. They did me one better, taking nine victories into their bowl game against Virginia Tech. Now I think they can do it again, and I'm not in a hurry to bet against a school that has been one of the most undervalued groups in the country over the past decade.

UCF Knights running back William Stanback


by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

I expected a much bigger hangover for the Golden Knights last year after their dream 2013 run (12-1 with an upset BCS Bowl win). However, UCF overcame the loss of Blake Bortles and shook off a brutal last-second loss in Ireland in the opener against Penn State to tally nine wins and post another solid year.

South Florida Bulls wide receiver Rodney Adams


by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

The fact that South Florida, as recently as 2008, was a legit Top 10 team in the country now seems like some strange fever dream. The forgotten stepchild of Florida football has gone a combined 9-27 over the last three seasons, and they don't seem like they are close to a breakthrough in Willie Taggart's crucial third season in Tampa.

East Carolina Pirates wide receiver Isaiah Jones


by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

Ruffin McNeill's Pirates got off to a blistering start to 2014, winning six of their first seven games and scoring back-to-back upsets of Virginia Tech - in Blacksburg! - and North Carolina. They posted a respectable 5-3 showing in their first season in the American Athletic (stepping up from Conference USA), and they played Florida tough in a bowl loss last December.

University of Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch


by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

Memphis walked through the AAC last year, winning its seven league games by an average of 23 points. They leaned on a defense in the Top 20 in both scoring and rush defense. But they lost eight starters from that group, with several players going in the NFL draft, and the offense will be charged with leading the way this year. Quarterback Paxton Lynch leads eight returning starters and a lot of speed from the No. 21 scoring attack last year.

Houston Cougars quarterback Greg Ward


by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

Tony Levine had coaxed back-to-back eight-win seasons out of the Cougars. But it wasn't enough to save his job as Levine was axed to make room for former Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman. Herman, fresh off a national title with the Buckeyes, inherits a team with just 11 returning starters and will be installing new systems on both sides of the ball.
