Every year we see four of those five labeled as "being back." And yet, here we are going into another season where "they are going to be better this season now that __________ "

Probably go with AU more than USCe...
AU were in those games they lost pretty late..

And USCe....hasnt been ..... to be considered anything
Would like to see them become a meddling force

I'm going with Indiana. They won one game last year. If they win two games in 2022 they will have doubled their wins.

Then why not UMASS? A three win season would equate their win total for the last three years combined.

That's an interesting take considering AU lost to UofSC last season. The roster has improved for the Gamecocks, especially at QB, where AU's has remained the same.

Yeah....really like USCe improvements too...

But looking at AUs losses...if they are as good as they were last year...they wont have the first year breakdowns...

I am pulling for USCe to become a player....

USC because of the new coach or the QB he had at Oklahoma?

These look more like media darlings than true analyses.

Farrell trying to engage fan bases.

You can add them to the list, but I don’t think it will happen. I think every away game they have is Homecoming for the other team.

I don't know much about the progress of the Nebraska rebuild but it would be nice to see them back & give Ohio State some competition.

Nebraska should be a legit top 25 team that hits the top 10 from time to time. It's remarkable to me how far they have fallen without being involved with probation issues.

Whoever wins the head to head between Temple, Syracuse and the University of New Jersey (Rutgers)…means the other 2 just sucked worse. In the event of a 3 way tie, they will split the Biden bowl trophy into 3 sections and buy all of them ice cream after the games.

 

[bama alum]

Nebraska?

 

[alabama mike]

Vandy will be improved over last year. Maybe 3 wins this year if they are lucky.

Nebraska?

Had drinks Thursday with a co-worker who is a die-hard Huskers fan, and an alum. He was educating me on the balloon release they do after scoring their first points of the game at home games. While I failed at controlling my chuckle… He said, this is our year, this year we’re going to be back in the mix.

I heard they were no longer doing that. It's a tradition they have done for a VERY long time from what I recall reading.

Early '60's; helium shortage.

Environmentalists. The balloons harm wildlife, specifically birds.

It was MRI related with cooling. The school still gets the Helium: goes to academic side.
