65 predictions recap

Well, in case you missed my first 20 predictions, here is a summary of them: you can decide by this table of contents which posts you want to read. I'm not sure I'll do this again, so this isn't an excuse to get lazy: just a way for late-comers to get caught up.
65: Utah doesn't play in a BCS game this season.
64: No 3-way tie in the Big 12 South again: winner of OU-Texas wins the South.
63: Boise State causes another headache for the BCS with a 12-1 top 10 or 13-0 top 5 finish.
62: USC wins the Pac 10 again easily.
61: Navy wins at least 8 games and goes bowling for the 7th straight season.
60: Notre Dame loses at least 2 games, and possibly up to 4.
59: Commander-in-chief trophy remains at the Naval Academy this year.
58: The Sun Belt sends 2 teams to bowl games again.
57: The ACC will not have 10 bowl eligible teams again this year.
56: The MWC, WAC, Big East, and ACC will not be playing for the National Championship this season (and probably not next year either).
55: Texas QB Colt McCoy will win the Heisman (if he doesn't get hurt).
54: University of Washington will have the biggest turnaround for a BCS program.
53: Texas Tech will take the biggest step in the wrong direction for a BCS program, barely edging out Cincinnati.
52: My choices for potential preseason top 10 teams to flop are Ole Miss, Oklahoma State, Oregon, and California. That is assuming Notre Dame doesn't start in the top 10: if so, move them to the top of the list.
51: SMU will have the biggest turnaround for a non-BCS program.
50: Utah and Ball State each go at least 4 wins in the wrong direction, leading all non-BCS teams in steps backwards.
49: There will be at least 2 upsets by SDSU, Wyoming, and New Mexico (MWC teams with new coaches) over TCU, BYU, Air Force, and Utah.
48: BYU TEs Dennis Pitta and Andrew George will be the best statistical TE tandem in the country.
47: The SEC will have 3-4 top 10 teams and 5-6 top 25 teams on a consistent basis this season after last year's sabbatical from the top of college football (excluding Florida).
46: The MWC will have at least 5 bowl eligible teams.

  1. thanks for the summary as I missed some of them. In your poll, who is picking the Y to win the conference? I am just hoping that they get second.
