2017-18 College Football Season Preview: Postseason Preview

Today I wanted to start off by talking about how great the Formula was last year.  If you don't know I have created a formula that helps pick games, it doesn't work at the start of the season because it only uses information from the current season.  I started it on Week 3 last year and ran it on all of the Top 25 games, I did miss a week or two during the season but still through 147 games it correctly predicted the winner in 106 times, and it predicted the winner against the spread 92 times.  If you would like these picks each week just follow me on twitter or listen to the Sometimes Sports Show where I'll give out the formula picks each week.

Some of these games I am pretty sure I didn't follow the rules correctly but it led to way more interesting match ups.  That St. Petersburg Bowl and Bahamas bowl would be amazing. I do think that the top teams in Conference USA will end up in some of these lower bowls even though they are good enough to take on the best teams in the nation. So with the rules that are in place we'll end up seeing some of these top 20 teams fall into lower bowls.

Before I get into the big bowls I want to talk about the conference championship weekend.  There is so much going on in the polls that it needs to be talked about.  Going into the final weekend I have the top 4 as Alabama, USC, Oklahoma State and LSU.  Alabama is in the SEC championship and LSU is left out, but is still sitting in 4th.  Unfortunately the next 4 teams behind LSU in the rankings are all in conference championship games and that pretty much guarantees that they'll fall out of the playoff.  The next 4 teams behind LSU all have a chance at making it into the playoff. The way I have it ranked is 5 Virginia Tech, 6 Wisconsin, 7 Washington, 8 Penn State.  The worst case scenario is if Virginia Tech, Wisconsin and Washington all win their conference titles.  Then you have to slot 3 teams into 2 slots because USC would fall out, and suddenly you're nit-picking each of these teams schedules.

The true nightmare scenario though would be Alabama, USC and Oklahoma State all losing their title games, then you have all 4 spots open and 7 teams all claiming that they should be in.  Fortunately for the committee I think it works out pretty easily.  Alabama USC and OSU all win with VT, Washington, and Penn State losing their title games.  That leaves Wisconsin as the easy pick for the 4th slot.

As for the Group of 5 slot for the New Year's 6 games, I have SMU in the lead going into the final weekend, but I also think that they lose the conference championship game.  This opens the door for USF to sneak in and steal the spot.  Since the committee put the G5 winner in the Cotton Bowl last year I guessed that they wouldn't do that again this year, so that means USF goes into the Peach Bowl.

All of the other bowls fell into place with LSU going to the Orange against ACC champ FSU, Pac 12 title game loser Washington going to the Fiesta Bowl against Michigan in the Fiesta bowl.  I have Penn State going to the Peach because it's closer for them and then they can beat up on USF in that game.  That just leaves the Cotton Bowl, I thought Virginia Tech would fall to there and then there is a tough decision on who to pick as their opponent.  It came down to picking an SMU (with two losses including a loss in the conference championship game), a 2 loss Ohio State team (but there are already 3 Big Ten teams in the NY6), or a one loss team BYU (who has a win over one of the playoff teams).  So after debating for awhile I went with BYU because of the win over Wisconsin.

Before I get into who I picked for the playoff I want to go over my rules for how to predict the College Football playoff teams without having to pick every single game.  First you pick Alabama.  Second you pick a team from the Top 5 of the preseason poll.  Third you pick a team in the Top 10 of the Preseason poll.  So if you want to pick two teams in the top 5 that's fine. Then fourth, you'll pick a team that is outside the top 10.  Luckily for me the picks I made ended up following these rules.

Picking the match ups for the playoffs was pretty easy based off of the schedule, and while I'm sure the Rose Bowl would prefer Wisconsin to play USC in Pasadena, I have the teams ranked 1. Alabama, 2. USC, 3. Oklahoma State, 4. Wisconsin.  So that sets up Alabama vs Wisconsin in the Sugar Bowl, and USC vs OSU in the Rose Bowl.  Alabama and Wisconsin should be closer than expected.  By this point in the year Wisconsin's defense will be back at full strength.  They will be able to limit Alabama's offense a little bit, but Wisconsin's offense will struggle with Alabama's defense.

In the Rose Bowl I have Oklahoma State upsetting USC.  I picked this because I believe in OSU's defense.  I think it is much better than people expect them to be and that USC's defense will struggle with the Cowboy's offense.  USC is the better team in my opinion but OSU is just a bad match up for them.  I do think that if they played this 10 times USC would win 7 of them, but for the sake of upsets I went with OSU.  Unfortunately this sets up Alabama vs OSU for the National Championship, and no matter how good OSU's offense is they can't score consistently against Alabama to win.  This is a blowout with Bama winning by 35.

So for the first time I tried to project all of the bowl games.  This was way harder than I thought it would be, and I'm pretty sure I messed it up somewhere, but oh well.  People have been trying to predict the future for a long time and we're pretty bad at it. So now here is each bowl game and the match up I predicted.

NFL Defensive Rankings #21-17

As we wrap up the back half of the defensive rankings I would like to say that any defense can make a leap in any particular year.  A defense ranked 30th in pass defense can easily move into the top 10 with maybe 1 or 2 pieces.  Take the Giants for an example, they took 1 offseason, signed on a couple dominant defensive linemen, drafted a competent CB, and suddenly they have a team that will take them to the playoffs (we'll talk more about them later.)  My point is that while these teams are ranked #21-17 it would not surprise me in the least bit if one of these 5 teams takes steps forwards and end up in the top 10 in multiple categories. 

21. Miami Dolphins – The Dolphins have a lot on their plate.  It isn’t enough that they have to play two games against the greatest QB of all time, but now they have to do it without Ryan Tannehill (not that they had a real shot with him, just saying.)  Miami’s defense has a shot to be more help than harm this season.  The Dolphins used their first two draft picks on defensive linemen, they re-signed Andre Branch and acquired William Hayes from the LA Rams.  Their front seven is formidable to say the least. They also have high potential in their secondary with Byron Maxwell at CB.  The question always seems to be, can they put it all together and slow down the Patriots?

20. Detroit Lions – The Lions have growing stars on both the defensive line and the secondary.  On the line, they have Ezekial Ansah, who had an underwhelming 2016, but could come back with a vengeance in the coming season.  In the secondary they have players like Glover Quin, a savvy safety with plenty of years under his belt. The Lions ranked 13^th in total points allowed, but generated very few turnovers, giving their offense less time with the ball and less opportunities to win the game.  More turnovers = less 4^th quarters where Stafford has to put the team on his back for a come from behind win.

19. Carolina Panthers – While the Panthers are generally regarded as a defensive power in the league, the only reason they are ranked this high is that they created the 9^th most turnovers in the NFL.  If not for that, they could just as easily have been ranked closer to the mid-20s.  They were 24^th in total points allowed, and 21^st in total yards allowed.  They do have some defensive superstars, like Luke Kuechly, that help in generating these turnovers that keep the Panthers close.  They’ve had some linemen step up as well.  Kony Ealy as an example recorded 5 sacks in 2016, and can get better this offseason.

18. Los Angeles Rams – Defenses function at their fullest when there’s an offense producing on the other side.  There are examples of where this works, LA is not one of those examples.  Their offense continually gave the ball away, leaving their defense to pick up all the slack.  Defenses that are leaned on that heavily tend not to perform as well as their talent suggests.  This year may be their breakout year, with an offense under a new head coach and a new system.  The defense is headed up by Wade Philips who has had his fair share of turning good defenses into great ones.  I would not be surprised to see wins created by the defense that keeps the Rams competitive in the NFC playoff race.

17. Green Bay Packers – For a team described as not having a very good defense, they were much like the Panthers, giving up a lot of points and yards, but creating turnovers and giving a dominant offense chances to win the game.  A team with Aaron Rodgers will mask defensive struggles, BUT the Packers cannot hope to win another Super Bowl unless their defense takes a significant step forward.  As far as adding to their defense, the Packers used their 1^st pick in the 2017 draft on defensive back Kevin King out of Washington.  I don’t have the upmost faith in this defense, but mediocrity will suffice as long of Rodger’s is the man under center.           

2017-18 College Football Season Preview: Conference Previews

Welcome to Part 2 of my preview project!

Today I'll do a run down of all of the conferences and pick a champion for each conference.

After going through and picking every single game of the season I learned that I don't know all of the teams as well as I thought I did.  So if you're upset that I didn't pick your team to win, I'm sorry, I'll give you a full refund of all the money you paid to read this. This process took a lot longer than I thought it would, but that's probably because I had to write it without my boss noticing.

I'll go through the conferences in alphabetical order starting with the American Athletic Conference.  The winner of the AAC championship game should be in a pretty good spot to win the Group of 5 bid into the New Year's 6. Both USF and SMU are going to be great this year and win their divisions.  South Florida is going to have the best defense in the conference and SMU will have the best offense.  I have USF going 7-1 in conference with Temple coming right behind them at 6-2.  Heading into the conference championship game, USF will be 10-2 with SMU at 11-1, but USF will be higher ranked, and win that game and the bid for the Group of 5.

In the ACC, it's going to be an interesting year with Clemson and Louisville dropping a little bit and opening the door for Florida State to come out of the Atlantic division.  The Seminoles go 6-2 in conference play with Clemson and Syracuse at 5-3 and Louisville and NC State at 4-4.  Clemson is going to miss DeShaun Watson and at Louisiville, while Lamar Jackson is incredible, the rest of the ACC now knows what to do to slow him down.  As for the Coastal division I think Virginia Tech runs away with it, not losing a game in conference.  They are head and shoulders better than the rest of their division.  They finally have the offense to go with their always terrific defense.  This conference is going to be considered one of the best in the country, with all but 2 of the teams making bowl games this year.  Going into the conference title game I have the Hokies ranked 5th in the country with a team not playing in a championship game just ahead of them, so all they have to do is win this game and they're in.  However, in the Conference Championship I think that Florida State pulls the upset on VT and ruins the Hokies shot at making the playoff.  But, Virginia Tech still makes a New Year's 6 game based on their great record and the fact that 3 of the NY6 games have no conference tie-ins.  Florida State takes the ACC's spot in the Orange Bowl and Virginia Tech gets sent to the Cotton Bowl.

The Big 12 this year is adding a conference championship game which is just stupid, and this year will show why it's so dumb.  Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will be the top of the class this year in the conference.  TCU doesn't seem to have the offensive firepower, and I still don't trust West Virginia's defense.  Everyone else in that conference is middling and has major flaws.  I have OU losing to 3 teams during the regular season, Ohio State, Kansas State and Oklahoma State. I think that all of those games will be close, but they're going to miss Bob Stoops a lot in those close games. As for Oklahoma State I think that they are playing a relatively easy schedule.  They will pick up nice wins over West Virginia and Oklahoma during the season, and will roll fairly easily over the rest of the schedule and enter into the Big 12 Championship game 12 and 0.  The reason this conference championship is so dumb is that they'll be in a position to get a bid into the playoff already and an extra win over Oklahoma will do nothing to increase their chances of making the playoff. If OU can pull the upset then this will ruin the Big 12's chances at making the playoff. I don't think that happens but this is the worst case scenario for the conference. In my opinion OSU defeats the Sooners again and heads to the playoff.

Next up is the Big Ten, and this conference will again be the most interesting one in all of college football.  This conference is the hardest to predict with so many good teams in it. The top teams are all so close, so I made my best guess but I could see as many as 9 different match ups in the B1G championship game.  My guess is that we have Penn State and Wisconsin.  I'm not sold on Penn State but I think James Franklin has built a great program and has the talent ready to fill the holes that are left in the roster after losing so many players to the NFL last year. In the West division I think Wisconsin runs away from everyone else.  The Badgers are good and after their loss to BYU early in the season (if you'd like to see why I think they lose to BYU check out Part 1 of the preview here) I think it makes the team better.  They play harder in each game and they have one of the easier schedules in the Big Ten. They only play Michigan, out of the "Big 3" in the east division, and they get them at home.  I think Wisconsin goes 9-0 in conference play and ends the regular season at 11-1.  I have them as the 6th ranked team in the country entering the conference championship weekend.  In the other division Penn State ends their conference run at 8-1, with their one loss on the road at Northwestern.  I think both Michigan and Ohio State have the opportunity to win the division and both choke against the Nittany Lions.  Why did I do that? I don't know.  But something crazy always happens so I picked that. I have Ohio State with losses to Penn State and to Michigan, and the Wolverines have losses to Wisconsin and Penn State. This sets up Penn State as the number 8 team in the country with an outside chance at making the Playoff if everything falls their direction.  And everything does fall their way, with all of the teams in front of them losing their conference title games. Unfortunately for them Wisconsin defeats them in the B1G championship and gets into the Playoff.

Conference USA will have some really good teams.  Unfortunately none of their good teams will have a tough enough schedule to really make a push for the Group of 5 bid to the NY6. I think this is the year Old Dominion finally comes through and wins the conference, just barely edging out Western Kentucky to get to the conference title game.  Both teams have excellent offenses but ODU has a slightly better defense. In the West division I think that Louisiana Tech is the best of the teams, but will actually end with the same conference record as Texas-San Antonio.  Louisiana Tech will have beaten UTSA during the season so they get the tiebreaker and get to face the Monarchs in the title game.  ODU will pull off the win though ending the year at 11-2 and ranked 11 in the country, but that will only be good enough to set up a really fun match up against the MAC champion in the Bahamas bowl.

Speaking of the MAC, Western Michigan is no longer the powerhouse that they were last year losing their incredible WR, Corey Davis, and coach, PJ Fleck.  This opens the rest of the conference up to be looking at a potential NY6 bid, but none of the teams have the quality to win enough this year. I have Kent State coming out of the East at 9-3 and Central Michigan at 11-1 with their one loss coming on the road at Western.  There's 3 or 4 teams in each division that could win their respective divisions.  I went with Kent State and Central Michigan because they had some quality players last year and assuming they got a little bit better they have the talent to go to the conference championship.  Central Michigan should beat Kent State in the MAC title game and head to the Bahamas bowl against ODU.

The Mountain West is going to be the toughest it's been in a long time this year.  Wyoming is good. Boise State is good. Hawaii is good. San Diego State is good.  Colorado State is better and so is Air Force.  This is not going to be a good year if you're trying to build up your program.  I have Boise, Wyoming, Hawaii, and SDSU all going 7-1 in conference play, with Boise State and Hawaii winning the tiebreakers and facing off in the MW championship.  Boise will end up winning the championship  over Hawaii because they have the experience in big games, ending their regular season at 11-2.  This would have been good enough to win the NY6 bid almost any other year, but this year it's just not quite enough and they head to Las Vegas for their bowl.

Now for the PAC-12.  All of the teams are going to be down this year except for USC.  For any other conference this would be a bad thing, but for the PAC-12 it's excellent.  USC will be highly ranked the whole year and they should be able to run through the conference.  Even with a loss they should still be considered favorites to make the playoff. However, I think that they will go undefeated through the regular season.  The North division will be more exciting with 3 teams all feeling like they have a chance to make it to the title game.  It was tough for me to decide who would win, but after looking at the schedules and going through them a couple of times, I ended up with Washington winning the North again.  Washington State and Stanford both finish 6-3 in conference but the Huskies get to 8-1.  I had Utah and UCLA tying for 2nd place in the South, but with Utah's win over UCLA they get the tiebreaker.  The big surprise in the way the season plays out is that Oregon State finishes 6-6 and makes a bowl game, based on the strength of a very easy schedule and a good defense.

The SEC is next and you'll never guess who I predicted to win.  Ok fine...  You were right.  It was Alabama. I think that they roll through most of the conference except for the game against LSU.  That will be the biggest game of the year and I think whoever wins that game makes the playoff.  The SEC East is once again going to be the lesser of the two divisions, and South Carolina and Georgia will finish the regular season tied 6-2 in conference.  I had South Carolina beating Georgia during the season so that leaves South Carolina to get blasted by Alabama in the championship game.  With all that said, I think that LSU is going to be the most interesting and debated team at the end of the season.  They'll be 11-1 with just the one loss to Alabama.   I think they'll be ranked 4th going into the conference championship weekend but will fall out of that last spot since they didn't play in a conference championship.

Finally the Sun Belt.  I apologize to all Sun Belt fans.  I really didn't get a chance to watch the conference last year so I'm not as familiar with them as I should be.  So with that said, I picked Georgia Southern to go undefeated in conference play, with South Alabama and Georgia State also getting enough wins in conference to make it to a bowl game.

Here are all of the divisions and conferences ranked by their record in conference!  The teams in grey are the bowl eligible teams.
