CFN Spring Top 130

Posted: 5/31/2019 4:42:35 PM

https://collegefootballnews.com/2019/04/2019-spring-colle...

Counting from the bottom, MAC teams and Ohio foes this fall:
123 Akron - predicted 4-8
122 BG - predicted 4-8
121 Ball State - predicted 5-7
120 Kent St - predicted 4-8
107 EMU - predicted 6-6
106 CMU - predicted 5-7
104 Buffalo - predicted 7-5
103 Miami - predicted 7-5
96 Toledo - predicted 8-4
94 NIU - predicted 7-5
93 WMU - predicted 7-5
91 Louisiana - predicted 7-5
85 Ohio - predicted 8-4
77 Marshall - predicted 9-3
54 Pitt - predicted 4-8

They have one paragraph reviews of each team. The review on Ohio is:

Nathan Rourke is back at quarterback, but the rest of the key skill guys are gone and the line has work to do. However, even with a few parts gone up front, the defense is loaded up to be among the MAC�s best. Frank Solich will quickly find replacements.

As an aside, these predictions make no sense in net. Combining the predictions for all conference members, they predict that the combined record will be 72-72. Removing the MAC games, that means they predict the MAC will be 24-24 in OOC games. Last year, excluding bowl games, the MAC was 18-30. The OOC schedule looks bad this year, and I don't see any way that the MAC does six games better.

So we're picked to win the MAC as the 85th best team in the country.

Well, Ohio is the highest MAC team, but at 85 they aren't particularly high. Some years we've seen MAC teams at 50 or so, preseason. I'd say it's mostly a prediction of increased parity this year, especially in the West, where there is very little separation between NIU, WMU, and Toledo, and CMU and EMU are just behind them.

Navy at 110, San Diego State who Ohio shut out in December at 46 and the Gators projected to win 8 games at #8. Take this with a grain of salt as it was composed in early April before many teams completed spring ball. All pre season publications will have Bama, Clemson and Georgia at the top with Oklahoma, Ohio State and the Irish close behind.
