This is covering the schools that will fall flat on their faces this year.
LSU - The Bayou Bengals could realistically be 2-4 with games against Georgia, Miss St, Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas A&M still on the schedule...WOW. I honestly think they go 3-9 this year and you see Ed Orgeron out by December. IF LSU was a stock, I'd be saying sell sell sell
Louisville - Expect Louisville to fall hard without Lamar Jackson. They'll get gut-kicked in the opener against Alabama, and tread water before going through an ACC gauntlet of Florida State, Georgia Tech, Boston College, Clemson, and Syracuse. They will also be 3-9 at year's end
East Carolina - The Pirates are usually a stingy foe, but they are racking up 3-9 seasons themselves lately. They return a paltry 3 starters on offense and 3 on defense. Rough years for East Carolina.
Navy - This might be the first year in awhile that Navy really struggles to maintain above .500. The returning starters are few in number, and the schedule doesn't have a whole lot of freebees. Expect a drop.
Penn State - After having a few incredible seasons, including Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl appearances, expect Penn State to get shalacked in conference play this year. They may get off to a good start, but the Big 10 will bring pain. I expect a healthy beating by Michigan State, Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, and maybe even Iowa. By the time they get to Rutgers, the season will be completely lost.
UCLA and USC - the stud QBs are gone, and it is time to pay the piper. UCLA returns 4 players on offense before they play Cincinnati, Oklahoma, and Fresno State in OOC schedule. And then the PAC 12 slate starts with games against Washington, California, Arizona, Utah, Oregon....welcome back to the PAC 12 Chip Kelly. As for USC, they are in a little better shape, but open up with UNLV before road games at Stanford and Texas. Then the PAC 12 beatings begin before ending up at home against Notre Dame.
Texas A&M - Don't expect Jimbo to send the Aggies to the Moon this first year. It is going to be a rebuilding project. Week 2 they get Clemson. Week 3 a stingy ULM team. Week 4 @ Alabama. Basically the only easy winnable game is the first game. Some teams in college football have a 3 or 4 game season really. Aggieland has a season of complete brutality ahead of them.
