College football season is almost here,
and it cannot get here fast enough. The newly installed playoff has
expectations high for big name programs like defending national champion
Florida State. Meanwhile, smaller programs are looking for a seat at the big boy table.
Expectations may be sky high for a lot
of programs, but it is not rare for those expectations not to be met. It is
also not rare for some teams to exceed expectations. While it is impossible to
predict an exact regular season record for all FBS teams, an attempt can me
made on the best and worst case scenario for each team.
The following is a list predicting the
best and worst case scenarios for all 128-college football teams:
