2015 Toledo Rockets Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/22/2015

Toledo won nine games and went 7-1 in the MAC West last year. They missed out on a chance at the league title game due to a tiebreaker and a three-point loss against eventual champion Northern Illinois. But Toledo is looking for revenge this year and is one of the favorites to win the league this season.

2015 Ball State Cardinals Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

Ball State won 10 games in 2013. But they backslid to just five wins last year. They have almost everyone back from last year's team, though, and I think that this group will play closer to what we saw in 2013. It all comes down to offense for Ball State this year. They are relying on sophomore quarterback Jack Milas. He split time with Ozzie Mann last year when they were trying to replace the school's all-time leading passer in Keith Wenning. Milas really need to improve after he completed just 55 percent of his passes last year.

2015 Bowling Green Falcons Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

Last year the Falcons lost star quarterback Matt Johnson in the first game of the season. But they overcame that big hurdle and won eight games while going to the MAC title game. This year Johnson is back. So is last year's leading passer, James Knapke, their top two running backs, and their top four receivers. They should improve on last year's 30 points per game average. I can see this being a Top 40 offense.

2015 Central Michigan Chippewas Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

The Dan Enos Era is finally over in Central Michigan. He announced in January that he would be stepping down as head coach and kind of screwed over the Chips in the process. He was a terrible coach anyway, though, and CMU will be better off in the long term without him.

2015 Western Michigan Broncos Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

Western Michigan obliterated its season win total last year! The number was just 2.5, and the Broncos won eight games. They were one of the biggest surprise teams in the country. They were also one of the most profitable teams. They went 10-3 against the spread.

2015 Ohio Bobcats Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

The MAC is a league that has a lot of coaches come and go. A lot of assistants from big schools come to the MAC to get experience before moving on. But not at Ohio. Coach Frank Solich has been here for 11 years after coming over from Nebraska. He and his assistants have helped this become one of the most consistent teams in the league.

2015 Akron Zips Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

The Zips get the job done with defense. That makes them a lot different from the rest of the teams in the MAC. Akron has the best defense again this year even though they have only six of their starters back. That defense will need to lead the way for a team that was outscored by only six points on the season.

2015 Buffalo Bulls Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

Buffalo still has to be angry about how their season ended last year. They had a November game cancelled because of terrible weather in Upstate New York. They were favored over Kent State at home. And if they had won that game then Buffalo would've been eligible for its third bowl game ever.

2015 Wyoming Cowboys Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

Craig Bohl has plenty of FCS titles to his name. But he has a long way to go before he can get his new program to accomplish anything. The Cowboys have had three straight substandard seasons, combining to go 13-23 and serving as a nonfactor in anything beyond playing games to determine the Mountain West basement.

2015 Troy Trojans Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

Oh Troy. Troy, Troy, Troy. It wasn't long ago that the Trojans were the toast of the Sun Belt. They won eight or more games six times in a seven-year stretch from 2004 to 2010, playing in five bowl games along the way. But the Trojans have fallen on hard times and have struggled to a 17-31 mark over the past four years and been a non-factor in this league.

2015 Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

The Warhawks have been a menace versus major conference teams over the past three years with wins over Arkansas and Wake Forest (twice) and near-misses against Auburn and Baylor. However, UL-M has seen its record worsen the past two seasons, and coach Todd Berry is starting to feel some pressure heading into his sixth year.

2015 Georgia State Panthers Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

Georgia State showed remarkable improvement last year: they actually won a game! GSU has gone 1-23 the past two seasons and just 2-33 over the last three. They haven't had a winning year since 2010 when Shorter, Lamar and Savannah State were on the schedule. They were relatively competitive last year, losing three Sun Belt games by a field goal apiece, and I think this team will continue to improve this year.

2015 New Mexico Lobos Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

Bob Davie is just 11-26 in his time in Albuquerque. At most programs that would have a coach either on the hot seat or the unemployment line. But the New Mexico faithful are showing a lot of patience and are hoping that this is the year in which Davie's boys break out and make their first bowl game since 2007.

2015 Eastern Michigan Eagles Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

Eastern Michigan has been a laughingstock in college football over the past decade. They are just 26-93 in the last 10 seasons and have gone 2-10 each of the past three seasons. They can't do anything right, it seems. I do not think that things will be much difference this year. The MAC is really good this season. There are a lot of veteran quarterbacks, and there are six teams with a real chance to win the league title in Detroit this December.

2015 Massachusetts Minutemen Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

The Minutemen were one of the craziest teams in the country last year! They lost their first six games. But four of those losses were by five points or less and several were crazy comebacks against UMass. They played teams tough all year and went 8-4 against the spread.

2015 Kent State Golden Flashes Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

Kent State has had its win total drop the last two years after winning 11 games in 2012. Paul Haynes hasn't been able to keep up the momentum from that big season. But now he is playing with mostly a whole team full of his recruits. The results should be clear this year.

2015 Miami-Ohio RedHawks Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Strike Point Sports - 7/21/2015

The Red Hawks have been one of the worst programs in the country the last two years. They are just 2-22. But last year they improved from 0 wins to 2 wins. They will be hard-pressed to improve more this year. Miami could have a freshmen starting at quarterback. There are a lot of experienced juniors and seniors at quarterback in this league this year.

2015 New Mexico State Aggies Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

New Mexico State was more competitive than last year's 2-10 straight up and 3-9 against the spread record suggests. I know that's a bold statement when you consider that NMSU has been one of the worst teams in the country over the past decade, posting just a 25-98 record. But coach Doug Martin is working his program, and in his third season we'll see if anything has taken root.

2015 UNLV Rebels Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

Look, I am going to keep this one short and sweet. UNLV is one of the worst teams in the country. They have been for the past decade (winning just two games seven times in 10 years), and this could be their worst team yet. The Rebels have just 10 starters back from a team that was outscored by 16.6 points per game last season. They also have a rookie head coach that they plucked from the high school ranks.

2015 Idaho Vandals Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/21/2015

With just five wins in four seasons, the Vandals have been wallowing in putrid obscurity out in Moscow. Paul Petrino is in his third season and is trying to lay the foundation for something better. Their season win total suggests that this team is vastly improved. But this program is a long way from being a factor in the Sun Belt.

2015 Ohio State Buckeyes Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

The Buckeyes shouldn't have made it into the college football playoffs last year. There is no doubt in my mind that TCU was more deserving. But Ohio State did make the playoffs and then they ran the table, claiming another national title. With virtually the entire team back, the expectations are clear: do it again.

2015 Michigan State Spartans Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Sparty has become a juggernaut in the Big Ten. After decades as an entertaining-but-underachieving sideshow in the league, Michigan State has become a Top 10 staple. And if Ohio State slips up at all this season then the Spartans are the team that may be best equipped to win the Big Ten title.

2015 Wisconsin Badgers Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

The Badgers are on to their third coach in four years - not counting Barry Alvarez's cameo in the bowl game - with Paul Chryst now taking over after Gary Andersen's surprising departure. Wisconsin is learning new systems on both sides of the ball and trying to replace All-American back Melvin Gordon. But they should again be a factor in the Big Ten.

2015 Michigan Wolverines Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Jim Harbaugh brings his khakis and unblemished track record of success to Ann Arbor to try to resurrect a Michigan program that has floundered since the start of the 2008 season. Harbaugh has a veteran team to work with and will be installing new systems on both sides of the ball; systems similar to the ones he used to reinvigorate Stanford from 2007-2010.

2015 Nebraska Cornhuskers Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Bo Pelini was definitely a weird dude who was never fully embraced in Lincoln. However, all he did was lead the Cornhuskers to seven straight seasons with nine or more wins and exactly four losses. That wasn't good enough. Now Pelini is gone, and Mike Riley managed to fail his way upwards from Oregon State, taking over a stacked Nebraska program.

2015 Penn State Nittany Lions Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

I was down on Penn State last year, but this team definitely exceeded my expectations, winning seven games and being incredibly competitive in nearly all of their losses. In fact, four of their six losses were by either five points or less or in overtime. They are much more experienced this year and plenty motivated after their bowl ban was lifted. But they still have a gap to close with the other elite teams in the league.

2015 Minnesota Golden Gophers Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Jerry Kill has very quietly done a great job of rebuilding the Minnesota program, leading them to back-to-back eight-win seasons. They are a respectable 22-19 in their last three years compared to a putrid 20-42 mark in the five seasons prior. And perhaps more than any team in the league, the Gophers are the Big Ten's X-Factor this year.

2015 Iowa Hawkeyes Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

I really have no idea how Kirk Ferentz still has a job. Iowa had one of the easiest schedules in the country last year and was basically handed nine regular-season wins. Instead they flopped their way to 7-5 and then got wrecked by Tennessee in the bowl game. I don't see how this season is going to be any better.

2015 Northwestern Wildcats Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

This is a crucial season for Pat Fitzgerald in Evanston. Northwestern posted six straight regular seasons at .500 or better from 2007-2012, capped with a 10-win campaign in 2012. But they've had back-to-back losing seasons and are struggling to keep up in a rapidly-changing league.

2015 Maryland Terrapins Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Last year I predicted that the Terps would be more competitive in the Big Ten than they were being given credit for. They responded with a respectable 4-4 league record and a 7-5 regular season that featured wins at Penn State and Michigan. It was a great rookie campaign for the program in their new home. But it's going to be much tougher sledding in Year 2 in the Big Ten.

2015 Illinois Fighting Illini Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

I was one of the only football handicappers in the country that was buying Illinois stock last year, easily predicting that the Illini would sail over their season win total. They didn't disappoint, winning six games and making it into a bowl game. They have a load of starters back. But a more difficult schedule should keep them from coming close to that number of wins this year.

2015 Indiana Hoosiers Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

Last year the Hoosiers entered the season thinking they had enough firepower to snap their seven-year bowl-less streak and make their second postseason appearance in 22 years. However, quarterback Nate Sudfeld got injured early, and they gave away a must-win game against Bowling Green in Week 2. Things got away from them in league play, and Indiana was a dead-man walking by November.

2015 Purdue Boilermakers Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

I came up short with my prediction for Purdue last year as I thought they would get to four wins and go 'over'. A one-point loss at Minnesota and a touchdown defeat at Indiana in the season finale prevented that from coming to fruition. I don't think they'll get that close again this year.

2015 Rutgers Scarlet Knights Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/17/2015

I predicted last year that Rutgers would easily surpass their modest expectations in their first trip through the Big Ten. The Scarlet Knights have been a quietly solid program for a decade now. They recruit tough, hard-nosed, physical kids to come to Jersey, so they will have no problem banging heads in this league. However, this would've been a rebuilding year no matter what conference they were in, and the Knights should struggle in 2015.

2015 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

A 7-1 start to the 2014 season meant the Irish had gone 28-6 under Brian Kelly since the start of the 2012 season. But then the train came off the tracks with the Irish losing four straight games to close the regular season. The Irish salvaged some pride with a bowl win over LSU. But the season evoked a lot of mixed emotions for Irish backers, with them falling short of their 7.5 season win total mark.

2015 BYU Cougars Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

I correctly predicted that BYU would stay 'under' their season win total last year, winning just eight games against an 8.5 total. They were impressively streaky last season, sandwiching a four-game losing streak between a pair of four-game winning streaks that included upset wins at Texas and Cal. The season ended with an OT bowl loss against upstart Memphis.

2015 Army Black Knights Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

I felt that Army blew a golden opportunity for a bowl-eligible season in 2014, sliding to just four wins despite an extremely experienced squad. Losses to bad teams like Wake Forest (by 3), Yale (in overtime), and Kent State (by 22) really sabotaged what could've been an excellent year.

2015 Cincinnati Bearcats Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

I was on the Cincinnati bandwagon last year, predicting at least eight wins and an easy 'over' against the season win total. They did me one better, taking nine victories into their bowl game against Virginia Tech. Now I think they can do it again, and I'm not in a hurry to bet against a school that has been one of the most undervalued groups in the country over the past decade.

2015 Central Florida Knights Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

I expected a much bigger hangover for the Golden Knights last year after their dream 2013 run (12-1 with an upset BCS Bowl win). However, UCF overcame the loss of Blake Bortles and shook off a brutal last-second loss in Ireland in the opener against Penn State to tally nine wins and post another solid year.

2015 South Florida Bulls Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

The fact that South Florida, as recently as 2008, was a legit Top 10 team in the country now seems like some strange fever dream. The forgotten stepchild of Florida football has gone a combined 9-27 over the last three seasons, and they don't seem like they are close to a breakthrough in Willie Taggart's crucial third season in Tampa.

2015 East Carolina Pirates Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

Ruffin McNeill's Pirates got off to a blistering start to 2014, winning six of their first seven games and scoring back-to-back upsets of Virginia Tech - in Blacksburg! - and North Carolina. They posted a respectable 5-3 showing in their first season in the American Athletic (stepping up from Conference USA), and they played Florida tough in a bowl loss last December.

2015 Memphis Tigers Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

Memphis walked through the AAC last year, winning its seven league games by an average of 23 points. They leaned on a defense in the Top 20 in both scoring and rush defense. But they lost eight starters from that group, with several players going in the NFL draft, and the offense will be charged with leading the way this year. Quarterback Paxton Lynch leads eight returning starters and a lot of speed from the No. 21 scoring attack last year.

2015 Houston Cougars Season Win Total Picks and NCAA Football Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2015

Tony Levine had coaxed back-to-back eight-win seasons out of the Cougars. But it wasn't enough to save his job as Levine was axed to make room for former Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman. Herman, fresh off a national title with the Buckeyes, inherits a team with just 11 returning starters and will be installing new systems on both sides of the ball.

by Guy Bruhn - 12/30/2014

Washington will take on Oklahoma State in the Cactus Bowl on Jan. 2, 2015. Our matchup report includes analysis on the starting players, betting trends, injury reports, and a free pick on who we think is most likely to win.
