2014 UNLV Rebels Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/22/2014

It is impossible for UNLV to add to that bowl resume because they are banned from postseason play due to poor academic standings. That has to be disappointing for the 12 returning starters back this year. The Rebels lost their quarterback, running back and four of their top five tacklers and overall the feeling around this program has to be negative.

2014 Air Force Falcons Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/22/2014

Troy Calhoun’s program has taken a nose dive over the last three years, seeing their win total drop each of those seasons and bottoming out with last year’s 2-10 debacle. Service academies always have a low ceiling. But the Falcons’ is lowering like a lid on Calhoun’s coaching coffin.

2014 Hawaii Warriors Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/22/2014

Norm Chow is basically a confused old man and he should not be a head coach, at any level, heading into the 2014 season. But Hawaii has been so desperate for something positive since June Jones left that they will give Chow another year to try to recapture the magic he may or may not have had over a decade ago.

2014 New Mexico Lobos Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/22/2014

Bob Davie continues to try to push an extraordinarily large rock up an incredibly steep hill down in Albuquerque. Progress has been slow. But he has won seven games the past two seasons, matching its New Mexico’s seven wins from the previous four years.

2014 Wyoming Cowboys Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/22/2014

Dave Christensen couldn’t capitalize on having one of the top quarterbacks in Wyoming history, Brett Smith, and was given his walking paper. New head coach Craig Bohl will try to pick up the pieces and rebuilt a program that has only finished above .500 three times in the last decade.

2014 Alabama Crimson Tide Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

The dirty little secret about Alabama football and its recent “dynasty” is that they play an embarrassingly easy schedule each and every season. Alabama gets by on reputation rather than actual performance. And if you don’t believe me simply look back at their schedule over the last four years.

2014 Auburn Tigers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

Gus Malzahn is a proven master. And his outstanding offensive system has a lot to work with again this year despite the loss of Tre Mason. Quarterback Nick Marshall and a host of skill players, along with four starters along an outstanding offensive line, are all back in the fold. The defense, though, needs to improve. Auburn’s defense finished No. 48 in scoring, No. 100 against the pass, and No. 86 overall.

2014 Florida Gators Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

The 2013 season must’ve seemed like the nightmare that would never end for the Gators. The team was decimated by injuries and bumbled their way to a 4-8 season that culminated with a humiliating November home loss to FCS foe Georgia Southern. Florida lost its final seven games of the year and missed a bowl game for the first time in almost 30 years.

2014 Georgia Bulldogs Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

The Georgia Bulldogs were one of the biggest disappointments in college football last year, beginning the season as a consensus Top 5 team only to find themselves unranked by season’s end. They bumbled to an 8-5 overall record that included a 24-19 bowl loss to Nebraska on New Year’s Day.

2014 South Carolina Gamecocks Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

For all the talk about the SEC powers the past few years it is easy to overlook South Carolina as one of the best programs in the nation. They have gone 33-6 in the last three years and have finished in the Top 10 each of those seasons. In fact, only two of USC’s last 12 losses since 2009 have come against teams outside the Top 25 and this team is a machine.

2014 LSU Tigers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

The Tigers have gone 104-27 over the last 10 years, winning nearly 80 percent of all games and posting an obscene 44-3 mark against teams outside the SEC. Les Miles is an idiot coach savant and continues to crank out uber-athletic and highly decorated recruiting classes alongside 10-win seasons.

2014 Texas A&M Aggies Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

If I didn’t have so much respect for Kevin Sumlin, a brilliant offensive mind and NFL-caliber headman, I would think that A&M was in trouble this year. I don’t care about the loss of Johnny Manziel as much as I do the losses of Jake Matthews and Mike Evans. But altogether those three departures will at least dent one of the Top 5 offenses in the country.

2014 Ole Miss Rebels Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

Ole Miss is just 6-10 in the SEC over the past two years. But they have scored a host of recruiting victories over the last two offseasons and they are on the verge of seeing those signees pay major dividends. And after an 8-5 effort last year the Rebels are also on the verge of being a team that no one wants to play come October.

2014 Missouri Tigers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

The Tigers were one of the most underrated teams in the country last season, as indicated by their outstanding 11-3 record against the spread. Missouri went 12-2 straight up and their losses were in tight games against South Carolina and Auburn in the SEC Title Game (that game was closer than the final suggests).

2014 Tennessee Volunteers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

The Volunteers went 5-7 last season – the third straight year they posted that mark – and that means that they are oh so close to bowl eligibility, right? Wrong. Tennessee sucks. And even though I have a load of respect for coach Butch Jones he won’t be able to turn around this train wreck that quickly.

2014 Arkansas Razorbacks Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

Arkansas did show signs of progress late in the season. The Razorbacks lost at Ole Miss by 10 (covering a 17-point spread), fell in a tough OT game with Mississippi State, and then gave LSU everything it could handle as a 26-point underdog, losing by just four. Arkansas has seven starters back on both sides of the ball and will be much more familiar with Bielema’s program heading into this fall.

2014 Kentucky Wildcats Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

Kentucky won two games last year in the first season under Mark Stoops. Bumps and bruises with a new coach can be expected. And they are hoping to improve with some time in his system. Kentucky still doesn’t have a quarterback and the defense is a mess. But they do have four of their five starting linemen back and five of their top six receivers back.

2014 Mississippi State Bulldogs Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

I don’t know that Dan Mullen gets enough credit for what a great job he’s done with Mississippi State. This team was on par with Kentucky and Vanderbilt before Mullen came along. Now they are at least respectable fodder, capable of covering a spread or two, for the top teams in the SEC.

2014 Vanderbilt Commodores Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2014

Vandy only has 10 starters back and they don’t have a quarterback or returning starter at receiver. They only have four starters back on defense and the entire secondary is retooled. They are switching to a 3-4 defense and I expect things to be a bloody mess on both sides of the ball early in the season despite new coach Derek Mason’s familiarity with the roster.

2014 Appalachian State Mountaineers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

Last season the Mountaineers played in the Southern Conference (1-AA) and this year will be their first official season playing with the big boys. Last year the Mountaineers’ 4-8 record was their worse record in over 10 years. And if you think about it that is pretty amazing.

2014 Arkansas State Red Wolves Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Red Wolves were an 8-5 team last year and are coming off a 23-20 bowl win over Ball State. But that was last year. After four straight winning seasons the Red Wolves will have a new head coach this year and the bright spot isthat they will have an experienced defense on the field. Last year the Red Wolves only lost one conference road game and if they have continued success winning away from Centennial Bank Stadium they could go bowling again.

2014 Georgia Southern Eagles Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Georgia Southern Eagles finished 7-4 last year and they ended the season with a momentous victory over the Florida Gators in Gainesville. Last year the Eagles played in in the Southern Conference (1-AA) and this season will be their first official season in the Sun Belt. New head coach Willie Fritz will also be climbing to Division 1-A status and I believe they have a stronger team this year then last year.

2014 Georgia State Panthers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Panthers were the doormatof the Sun Belt conference last year, going winless in the conference and on the season. The Panthers made some progress toward the end of the season, hanging around games and only losing by two points on the road against Arkansas State. But this year I see a win coming out of the Georgia Dome as this team starts to come together.

2014 Idaho Vandals Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Idaho Vandals come back to the Sun Belt Conference and I see themhaving some success in this new-look league. Last year the Vandals won only one game. But they are much better this year. The Vandals played one of the toughest schedules last year and that experience for the 17 returning starters will only be a blessing this year.

2014 Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Cajuns were a bit of a surprise team for me in 2013, winning nine out of their last 11 games including a Bowl victory over Tulane. They did lose their last two conference games and this year I smell an even better team in Lafayette. The main reason why I like the Cajuns this season is that they are a veteran, experienced team with 17 returning starters.

2014 Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Warhawks were a bit of a disappointment last year, losing two out of their last three games as their defense ran out of gas towards the end of the season. The Warhawks suffered some bad home losses last year (Tulane, Western Kentucky, and Arkansas State) but this season I see them having a better campaign overall.

2014 New Mexico State Aggies Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Aggies come to the Sun Belt conference with enthusiasm but that is pretty much it. Last year they had a brutal schedule and I was shocked to see the Aggies even get two wins. This year they are breaking in a new quarterback and their defense has some major holes to fill. The only bright spot I see for New Mexico State is that their schedule is not as tough as last year’s.

2014 South Alabama Jaguars Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Jaguars closed out the 2013 season with three straight wins and ended the season with a .500 record. Bad part of last year is that their road record was awful and their defense on the road was pitiful. The main takeaway from last year was their three straight wins to close out the season and that should bring momentum this year.

2014 Texas State Bobcats Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Bobcats closed out last year with three straight losses and their defense gave up an average of 39.3 ppg in those defeats. All of Texas State’s losses last year were pretty much blowouts, except a home game against UL-Monroe which they lost by seven points. Texas State started the 2013 season with a big road win against Southern Miss but that was quickly forgotten and drowned out by their three straight losses to close out the year.

2014 Oklahoma Sooners Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

The Sooners are still dining out on their demolition of Alabama in last year’s Sugar Bowl. And the feeling around Norman is that the win over the SEC power could be just the thing to revitalize a program that has been good, but just not good enough, over the past few seasons.

2014 Oklahoma State Cowboys Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

It is tough to count out a Mike Gundy team. Especially since he has gone 41-11 over the past four seasons. But this looks like a rebuilding season in Stillwater. The Cowboys have just four returning starters on both sides of the ball and they have lost a ton of NFL talent over the past two years.

2014 Iowa State Cyclones Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

Paul Rhoads is one of the most underappreciated coaches in the country. He’s kept Iowa State competitive during his five years at the helm despite being completely outmanned in one of the best, deepest conferences in college football. Rhoades has carried the Cyclones to three bowl games in five years but will be hard-pressed to accomplish that again this year.

2014 Kansas Jayhawks Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

Oh Kansas, you try so hard. Charlie Weis finally realized – only about eight years too late – that the spread offense is The Thing in college football. He has started to adapt, but this proven loser is just 4-20 in his two years at the helm and his team hasn’t shown many signs of progress.

2014 Kansas State Wildcats Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

Bill Snyder remains one of the best coaches in the country and has been masterful in his second stint with the Wildcats. Kansas State has gone 29-10 the last three years and they are always a player in the Big 12 despite holding firm as a bit of a throwback, physical, run-first attack.

2014 TCU Horned Frogs Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

Much like Utah out in the Pac-12, TCU has found the sledding outside of the Mountain West much tougher since stepping up in conference competition. They’ve gone just 11-14 combined the past two years and have been a non-factor in the Big 12 since joining prior to the 2012 season. Things are looking up for the Horned Frogs but I still question how good this program can really be.

2014 Texas Tech Red Raiders Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

Second-year coach Kliff Kingsbury has completely rejuvenated the Texas Tech program, bringing back the high-scoring, freewheeling point machine that the Red Raiders were used to in the Mike Leach Era. Tech won eight games last season and pulled a huge upset, winning outright as a 14-point underdog, in the Holiday Bowl. We’ll see if the Red Raiders can build on that momentum this year.

2014 West Virginia Mountaineers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

It’s been a rough ride down for West Virginia, who is a long way removed from the Rich Rodriguez heyday. Dana Holgersen has see his win total decline every year he’s been in Morgantown and this season might be his last shot to win over the natives. WVU has 13 starters back this year after entering last season with just eight.

2014 Texas Longhorns Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

The Charlie Strong Era begins with the former Louisville head coach taking the reigns of one of the premier programs in the country. Deposed Mack Brown left a full cupboard, with 15 returning starters and 13 senior starters, and Strong has an excellent chance to do some damage in his rookie campaign.

2014 Baylor Bears Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

The Bears laid waste to opponents in 2013 with one of the best offenses of the decade, averaging a ridiculous 52.8 points per game and scoring 69 or more points in five of their first six outings. The Bears won the outright Big 12 championship and solidified their metamorphosis from Big 12 doormat to Big 12 dominator.

2014 Miami Hurricanes Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

Perpetually overrated Miami finally seemed to turn the corner in 2013, working its way into the Top 10 with a 7-0 start. Some key injuries precipitated a weak 2-4 close to the year. And heading into 2014 it remains to be seen whether last year was a blip on the radar or a sign of things to come in South Beach.
