Southern Miss Golden Eagles aka Back from the ashes? 2011: 12 - 2 (Larry Fedora, left for UNC) 2012: 0 - 12 (Ellis Johnson, Fired) 2013: 1 - 11 (Todd Monken) 2014: 3 - 9 2015: 9 - 5 (Monken leaves to be the OC for the Tampa Bay Bucs) 2016: ? (Jay Hopson) Who the gently caress knows? Jay Hopson was successful at Alcorn, which was the worst SWAC team before he got there. Jay has coached at Southern Miss before as the DC for a string of years under longtime HC Jeff Bower. He's certainly a player's coach, has the team, etc. He's a defense-first coach, which.....didn't work too well last time. However, USM does return one of the best QBs in the nation in Nick Mullens (63.5%, 4476 yds, 38/12 td/int in 2015) and a 1000 yard rusher in Ito Smith. We lose 75% of our receiving yards in our top two WR graduating. O line is a question mark. Secondary and Linebackers look great, DL looks pretty good. Schedule: @ Kentucky - Possible W Savannah State - W Troy - W @ UTEP - W Rice - W @ UTSA - W @ LSU - L Marshall - Possible W Charlotte - W @ ODU - W @ North Texas - W Louisiana Tech - Probable W Best Case: 11 - 1 Worst Case: Complete collapse 0 - 12 (2012 never forget) Probable Case: Somewhere in between?

YOUR 2016 NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS Fresno State - W Wyoming - W Oregon - L @Northwestern - L Illinois - W @Indiana - W Purdue - W @Wisconsin - L @Ohio State - L Minnesota - W Maryland - W @Iowa - L Most of this is just based on my gut reaction. Maybe we'll win a bowl game and hit that sweet, sweet 8 win mark. Best case... I'd give Nebraska a chance against Oregon, Northwestern, and Wisconsin. I can't help but think, though, that if they beat one of those teams that the universe will make Nebraska lose to Illinois again. Worst case... lose to Wyoming, Indiana, Minnesota. Wyoming sounds crazy, but I'd direct you to the 2013 Wyoming Cowboys putting up 602 yards of offense against Nebraska, so anything can happen. A 4-8 year would make Mike Riley's seat awfully hot, but I don't think he'd lose his job. Hopefully he'd lose his Mark Banker. Seaniqua fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Aug 26, 2016 |

That Wyoming team had a pretty good QB (who has since kicked around the CFL), but then they canned Dave Christiansen and brought in our old pal Craig Bohl, who went 4-8 and then 2-10 last year. They'll probably be better but we should win comfortably.

Nervous posted:The real question here is, can any of them effectively snap the football? I didn't even look at this at first: First: All that snapping trouble was just paying the price of Stanford somehow having 2 bad snaps in the second half of the Stanford-Oregon game and Oregon winning pretty much as a direct result of that Second: Oh god we have 2 redshirt freshmen as our 2-deep for Center

The Western Michigan University Row-Boaters *edit: there is an image here, but won't in-line it, so here's the imgur linkOk, so everyone loves the "row the boat" comedy tag-line (I totally get it, I thought it was loving weird at first too), but the man gets results. He has a weird fixation on making sure you're having an "ELITE!" day, but whatever, I'm sure Saban has some hosed up peccadilloes too. He went from a dismal 1-11 season to winning the school's first bowl game last year (in the loving awesome Bahamas Bowl; go suck my dick, potato bowl). The team last year had me dreaming of MAC title (stop laughing), but this year with the disarray around the conference, it looks even better, especially since the only player we really lost had a REALLY annoying tendency to try constantly the "go backwards to get space to go forwards" thing and drove me crazy. Anyway, on with the team @NW: It really depends on what Northwestern team shows up. Last year's NW? Probably a loss. NW from 2-3 years ago? Competitive. And really, that's what MAC schools try to do: steal wins from weaker members of P5 conferences. Probably a L, but I will be very boisterous this weekend regardless vs NC Central: P5 plays G5, G5 plays FCS. I'll actually be at this game for my birthday, so I will be an obnoxious assholes to some poor schmucks who wonder what all the fuss is about. W @Illinois: This looks WAY more winnable than NW, but they've got Lovie Smith there now (drat, I wanted to beat up on former WMU coach Bill Cubit). I'm hoping the Illini continue to be a hot mess, and will predict a W vs GA Southern: They beat us last year with their drat triple option offense, I'm hoping that this year is different (or at least closer). But every time I've watched WMU play a triple option team, it ends badly. L, unfortunately @Douchebags: Rivalry week comes early, and they can suck my scrotes. W vs NIU: The perennial power. We lost last year to them in a heartbreaking game for me, as dumb mistakes started to pile up. But I'm feeling it, this is the year we break through the NIU wall. That said, I'll restrain my homer tendencies and at least call this one a Toss-up @Akron: They had a decent record last year, but mostly by beating the lower tier teams in the MAC, so.... Gonna paste a W here vs EMU: I was actually at EMU's stadium the last year before they changed it to the awful grey monstrosity (I'm sorry, "Factory") they have currently. That said, it's EMU, I think the only sport they're good at is women's volleyball? I dunno, one of my co-workers who went there said he thought that was the case. W @Ball State: Garbage team last year, new coach this year, I feel ok calling this a W. As an aside, TUESDAY NIGHT #MACTION ON ESPN, GET SOME @Kent State: Another TUESDAY NIGHT #MACTION, BUT THIS TIME MAYBE ON CBS FOR SOME REASON. Kent State has some issues in moving the ball, so unless the recruits they picked up are phenomenal, WMU should be able to run all over em. W vs Buffalo: A tough team to read. I did a quick cursory looksie and didn't really see anything that stood out to me as overly scary or anything. They've been in contention for the MAC East title it seems like every season (except maybe last season), but they often did that with like 3 wins less than whatever the West champ had. No idea vs Toledo: This team is becoming our second rival, I swear to god. Maybe most MAC teams feel that way, I dunno. We beat them last year when they were ranked in the last game of the regular season (sadly, due to tie-breakers, it only got us runner-up in the MAC West). I kind of hate them and want a win, and I know we CAN win. But they're a tough team, and it always feels like we give each other our best shot (see 2011's basketball-score loss of 66-63). Another Toss-up Best Case: 12-1 and a Bowl win (Another Bahamas bowl would be fine with me). Figure we split that GA Southern or NW and find a way to win, plus we use our home-field advantage to win the close conference games, then we just have to beat what is likely to be a woeful MAC East champ (because they're all woeful), coach Fleck gets an offer from a major program but turns it down because he "just believes in WMU so much." Maybe a little bit of a pipe-dream, but that's what Best Case is all about! Worst Case: 7-5 + we go to the loving potato bowl where we get lovely coats and hats and lose to Air Force again. F-- would not like to do again. The poo poo-syrup on this poo poo-sorbet is coach Fleck gets scooped up by a more successful G5 or middling P5 school that I immediately begin to hate "Realistic": 8-4 + bowl appearance, conference game appearance would probably require Xort's divine hand, coach Fleck gets scooped up by a more successful G5 or middling P5 school who I immediately begin to hate mercenarynuker fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Aug 29, 2016 |

Regnevelc posted:OSU WR Torrence Gibson suspended for the season. He had some confrontations with teachers in high school and was been total poo poo about going to class last year for the most part. Per my friends on campus, the rumor is basically that Torrance hooked up with his tutor and sent out a (consensual) snapchat picture of her rear end. She wanted to date him, and he turned her down. She turned him in for harassment then, and the administration hit him with the academic suspension since she was a tutor. Normally, I'm inclined not to believe rumors, but Urban came out breathing fire about this today and publicly disagreed with the decision. If it's suspect enough that Urban is publicly commenting, I'm going to assume that there's some level of he said/she said or hearsay present, since Urbz doesn't seem stupid enough to risk that level of bad press by openly calling out the university like that without a drat good argument. If Torrance actually did harass her, then the uni made the right call, and gently caress Urban for whining about the decision being taken away from him. But that said, if the admin just did that on hearsay or he said/she said, I have to shake my head a bit, because it's just another idiotic story the MRAs of the world will point to and claim that sexual assault isn't real or an epidemic on campuses right now. That said, totally won't be shocked if he just cheated on a test or something stupid like that since he barely was academically eligible at the last grade check.

The Virginia depth chart has come out. And uh... we're thin. Everywhere but the backfield. ECU transfer Kurt Benkert is starting over incumbent Matt Johns at quarterback. A couple of defensive starters are out with injuries. Things are going to get worse before they get better. If we go to a bowl Bronco should be ACC coach of the year.

KENTUCKY WILDCATS The past two seasons have seen fast starts of 5-1 and 4-1, only to finish 5-7 both years. The team has improved under Mark Stoops, but still hasn't cleared that bowl hurdle. Last year hurts because hopes were so high after somewhat overachieving the year before (overall, 5-7 was expected just not after that start). I want to be hyped for this year, but like most of the fan base I have a bit more tempered expectations. Still, I'm cautiously optimistic for that bowl berth. Strengths include WRs/TEs, RBs, and the defensive secondary. QB play is mostly unknown but all indications are that Drew Barker has matured on and off the field and has become a clubhouse leader. We'll need that, but all he really needs to do is just get the ball to the talent around him. The defensive front seven is the biggest area of concern, especially with the quality of running backs we're facing this year. We also have a new OC, a dedicated QB coach, and a special teams coordinator, and everything I've heard is that there is much better chemistry between the coaches this year. Also, hopefully no more QB draws on 3rd and long. Schedule 9/3 Southern Miss - Arguably the most important game. A loss here pretty much derails the season and fans will pretty much lose all interest. Interesting subplot - Shannon Dawson returns as OC of Southern Miss after being dismissed after 1 year at UK. Stoops has said they're watching film of themselves from last year to prepare. W 9/10 @Florida - Should have beaten them the past two years. If it didn't happen then I'm not sure I'll ever see it. L 9/17 New Mexico St - Should be easy, but this is Kentucky we're talking about. W 9/24 South Carolina - Have beaten them the past two years and I don't think that changes here, especially at home. W 10/1 @Alabama - Haha. No. L 10/8 Vanderbilt - A must win to go bowling in my opinion. After the debacle last year, there should be plenty motivation. W 10/15 BYE 10/22 Mississippi St - I want to be optimistic here. This is the kind of game where we have the talent to compete, but have wilted the past few years. I want to say we steal this one, but I also want to see how we play the first few games before really knowing what our chances are. Maybe I'm optimistic, but I really think this one could go either way. TOSS-UP 10/29 @Missouri - Another I think we need to make it to a bowl game, and one I think we should get. Still, we have a history of dropping ones like this in the past. W 11/5 Georgia - I think the RBs will be too much to stop. I've seen some predicting we could steal this game, but I don't see it happening. L 11/12 @Tennessee - This one isn't happening either. All I can hope is we're more competitive than we have been the past few years. L 11/19 Austin Peay - FCS foe. Should be an easy win, but it did take OT to beat Eastern Kentucky last year. I don't think that happens this year, and we secure a bowl with one game to spare. W 11/26 @Louisville - Another game that should have been a win last year, but we let a 21-0 lead slip away. With a bowl secure, I think we play loose and make it a game, but Louisville is too good, and it's at Papa Johns. L Overall - 6-6 with an outside chance at 7-5 if we can beat MSU. Any bowl will appease this fan base at this point, and any bowl win would be icing on the cake. Another 5-7 season and fan interest for next year will be next to zero. Stoops' buyout is probably still too big, but another season without a bowl and it becomes that much harder to recruit to maintain what momentum we have. GO CAYUTS!

Time to review how the predictions have turned out.TheGreyGhost posted:Your 2016 Ohio State Buckeyes Well, the depth chart held up well, and my concerns were pretty well cemented. Offensively: - Barrett has been good if unremarkable. He hasn't been helped by the playcalling and ludicrous rotation of receivers this year. His ball placement has gotten worse because he never knows where his receivers will be because it could be one of 8 guys at any time. - Weber lived up to his hype and did a passable impression of Boom Herron this year. He's not as powerful as I would like, but he's been very very good. - The crowding in the WR room hasn't gotten any better. Brown, Hill, and Campbell are unquestionably the best pure receivers, but they get rotated so much with guys like James Clark, Terry McLaurin, and Dontre Wilson that it's been really difficult getting them timed up correctly. Was spot on about Samuel. Way too many drops out of a group this talented, especially by Clark and Campbell. Corey Smith has barely played due to injury and cost the team a timeout because of his stupid mouthpiece in the UM game, so he's been bad Corey this year. - Losing Pridgeon has resulted in the Isaiah Prince RT experience that's been plaguing the offense this year. You have to go back to Jim Bollman to find an O-lineman as bad as he was in pass protection this year, and then you're looking at like JB Shugarts. Michael Jordan, Jamarco Jones, and Pat Elflein basically mad the left side of the line incredible this year while Price has struggled from having to constant bail out Prince. This unit gets like a B- for the year - Baugh has been very good at TE, especially blocking, but has a bad case of the dropsies. AJ Alexander looks like he could be even better if Baugh decides to leave after this year. Defensively: - Lewis proved he wasn't just mooching off of Joey and continued to be a very productive pass rusher while Hubbard played SSDE about as well as you can if you aren't literally Joey Bosa. Nick looks like he's going to be a clone of Joey for the next two years which has me wayyyyy too excited for what this unit can do next year. Jalyn Holmes has gotten way more playing time than expected with the rushmen package and has looked unblockable as a 4-6 tech guy. Cooper and Berry got some playing time this year and looked very talented in mop-up duty - Hill has been really solid as a NT and stayed healthy. Hamilton has been a decent backup, but the real surprise has been Landers who plays way bigger than he has any business doing so. At under-tackle, Dre'Mont Jones took over for an injured Sprinkle and did a passable Adolphus Washington impersonation for most of the year, looking exactly like Washington did after moving inside. Cornell played some, but Bosa actually spent a lot of time as a 3-5 tech in passing downs and looked like a monster purely off of his moveset considering he was 20 pounds light for the position. - Kwon had some great highs and some big lows this year. He's the ultimate pursuit LB, but he hasn't been what we expected at the point of attack or in coverage, meaning he's put up some gaudy tackle numbers and gets guys lined up but hasn't been an absolute game changer by himself. Worley started the year doing a Darron Lee impression but wound up playing a lot more on the weak side than expected due to the injury issues Booker had this year. Worley thrived there and became the best LB in years at cutting off backs early and shoving them to the perimeter on counters that used to kill us. Booker looked good at the Will and was a solid tackler but got hurt early and ultimately shut down for much of the season. When he went down, Baker dominated and swapped positions with Worley, taking over at SLB. With Raekwon likely to go pro and the other two guys likely a year away from leaving, I'm imagining the future of the unit will be moving Booker to MLB where he can still be a tackling machine and is more than experienced enough to call the defense. If Worley decides to leave for the draft after 1 year, I wouldn't be shocked to see a crazy battle between Justin Hilliard and Malik Harrison for that spot. - Conley is probably a first round pick and wasn't even the best corner on the team. Lattimore looked like a freak of nature in coverage this year, and that was when people thought he might be easier to pick on than Conley. He's faster than almost everyone he matches up against, and his ball skills might actually be even better than Conley's. The nickel/dime situation was where most of the damage was done this year, with Arnette looking lost in man at points and Ward getting overconfident in his speed which led to him trying to jump some balls he shouldn't have. Arnette looks like he might be relegated to a safety conversion or boundary corner because he's a step slower than the rest of the corners. Ward looks like he'll be the next field corner and plays like a Bradley Roby clone. - My god was Malik Hooker better than expected. He's the best safety at OSU since Mike Doss at least and may even be on the Jack Tatum level after just one year. If he comes back like he says he will, this unit is going to be terrifying next year. Damon Webb has been the worst player on the defense and has no business covering TEs as often as he's had to. In a conference that's a TE-happy as the Big 10, it's a death sentence to have an undersized safety who gets lost in man over the middle, and his tackling has been miserable. I wish Erick Smith was playing more, but his health keeps dropping out at the worst possible times. Burrows getting hurt really screwed this unit over. Jordan Fuller showed some promise that was fairly unexpected Misc: - Cam Johnston is the best punter in the NCAA and will make someone very happy in the draft. - Nuernberger got hurt and ended up nailed to the bench. Tyler Durbin started out awesome but has regressed towards the end of the season after PSU and Michigan gave him the yips. - Dontre Wilson got removed as returner for doing his damnedest to always make the worst decisions possible and constantly dropping the ball. quote:Schedule Pretty much nailed this. I didn't give PSU quite enough credit, and I gave OU too much. quote:Outlook: TBD obviously, but the likely scenario is pretty much spot on, albeit with a strong Big 10 rather than a weak one

MourningView posted:Iowa Hawkeyes Mostly did okay with this I guess? I was only a win off overall but had the losses wrong. I thought we'd lose to Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin and was only right about Wisconsin. I hated the NDSU game but figured we'd win and had NW as a toss up. Way off on Penn State, I didn't think they were going to be very good at all. In terms of players, Beathard had a terrible season but it wasn't totally his fault. He had genuine pocket presence issues but there's a stark difference between his numbers before and after he lost VandeBerg. Without him we had probably the worst WRs of any power 5 team. Kittle was hobbled a lot too. We also were missing our two best olinemen for an early chunk of the year and it never really got fully healthy. I was right about the oline being overrated and WR being the biggest trouble spot. Nailed it on Wadley being a star although that wasn't hard to see. Didn't see safety being the disaster it was.

mercenarynuker posted:The Western Michigan University Row-Boaters So we basically hit my dream scenario (besides the bit regarding Fleck, that's still TBD), but I got soooo much wrong in being kind of right. NW was close, GaSo was not. NIU, while a better team than their record, was beaten soundly. Eastern was the surprise breakout hit of the season and I can't stay mad at them, especially since we beat em. Buffalo was hot garbage on nationally televised GameDay (to the chagrin of folks in Pullman and every other P5 still waiting for that honor), and Toledo was surprisingly easy to beat. No Xorting required for the conference championship, although the G5 invite would be less stressful if Navy did us a solid and lost to Temple this weekend. If we go to Dallas, win, and somehow hold onto Fleck, I'll basically cream my pants on New Year's day

TheAlmightyFrog posted:KENTUCKY WILDCATS Predicted 6-6, or 7-5 if we beat Mississippi St, so I was pretty much right on in that regard. The only two games I didn't predict right were the first and last. I never would have thought after losing to Southern Miss that we would have been going to a bowl, but not only did we get our 6 wins, we pulled a major upset at Louisville to go 7-5 with what sounds like a pretty good chance of going to the Stoops has to be in consideration for SEC coach of the year after that turnaround. The coaching staff not only had to adjust what started out as an awful defense, but deal with the starting quarterback going out with a season ending injury. Stephen Johnson stepped in and only got better as the year went on. Add in the emergence of Benny Snell, who rushed for over 1000 yards despite not playing the first two games, and another 1000 yard rusher in Boom Williams, and we transformed from trying to be an air raid offense to a ground and pound, and were super successful at it. I don't think I've ever witnessed this much excitement over football this late in the year, especially considering how dominant the basketball team has been so far. There's already excitement for next year too, with Louisville, Florida, and Tennessee all at home and trading Bama for Ole Miss as the cross division opponent. That might be a little premature, but after the disappointing endings of the last two years it's hard to blame this fan base for that.

Oh dear god here we go...Maxwells Demon posted:Oregon Football: No, we don't know if the magic is gone either Well now we definitively know. quote:Oregon returns a buttload of great skill players, including Royce Freeman and Taj Griffin at running back. 6 OL with playing experience return, including 3+ starters. No to both. quote:I don't know, and I don't expect anyone else knows. We have a new Defensive Coordinator (anyone would be better than Pellum it seems) and a new FCS transfer QB but this one passed his math classes so he's been able to work with the football team for longer than 2 weeks. So this is posted with the idea/hope that Oregon can get decent QB play from Prukop or the players they actually recruited. Completely off. gently caress 2016.

Incoherence posted:Worst case: 3-9 (take one of those probable wins and toss it in the dumpster because Bailiff doesn't have them ready to play one day). Bailiff convinces the AD that this is a fluke (it's not) as whatever momentum our new facilities might have provided evaporates.

RumbleFish posted:Best case scenario: 6-6 with a bowl bid would be huge for this team and especially for Muschamp. Didn't quite nail it, but close enough. I didn't call the Tennessee upset and I thought we might snap our losing streak to UK, but otherwise I sorted our opponents into the appropriate W/L categories. Solid, encouraging season with a very young and inexperienced roster that arguably had less talent than 2015's 3-9 squad.

Real Name Grover posted:Wow, aside from Indiana (which we barely pulled out), I kinda nailed this. Except I didn't go on that bender in early November, which I regret. Good for you buddy  Virginia was real bad so I nailed that prediction

Scionix posted:Oh hey I was right who would've thought psyche IM ALWAYS loving RIGHT The most boring prediction in sports right now. Bama is 12-1 at worst, 13-0 usually. Rinse, repeat.
