ESPN commentators talking a lot about the spreads this year. Plus the cover alerts. Interesting.

I pray that Kerry Cooks fixes OU's coverage issues and Baker Mayfield become consistent. If Lincoln Riley is half the O-Coordinator that Kevin Wilson was, OU is gonna stomp 3/4ths of the teams on our schedule. The only teams that Stoops won't run it up on is K-State, and maybe Kansas.
Texas Tech may get that Texas A&M treatment got in 2003. 77-0 in 3 quarters, except I doubt Stoops or Baker Mayfield is letting their foot the gas. They are the quintessential "all offense, no defense" team.
If Swoopes still looks shytty, then Texas will get played out of the Cotton Bowl again. Texas's defense usually keeps it from being an A&M type destruction. OU still hangs "half a hundred" though.
TCU's defense is the only D I really respect in the conference. Boykin's fairy tale ends this season. He goes back to looking like a WR playing QB. He always starts slow. OU will take advantage.
Baylor

So glad I did not bet on this game. What a kick in the nuts this would have been.

we don't find out what the real rankings should be until October......the preseason stuff is built for gamblers.

They have a vested interest in the sport and without fantasy, real gambling is the only thing that can get it closer to NFL statusESPN commentators talking a lot about the spreads this year. Plus the cover alerts. Interesting.

College is WAY better when it comes to gambling though. More games.
But is it bigger for gambling? @Absolut

The fact that fantasy football for college isn't big always disturbed me

More realistic spreads imo. In the NFL any given team could beat anyone
All recruiting years are not created equal. My projections place significant importance on the 2013 and 2014 cycles. Why you might ask? Because most of the premier talent in college football any given season is almost always concentrated in the junior and sophomore classes. The top players from the 2012 senior class are already in the nfl (see Jameis Winston, Amari Cooper, Leonard Williams), thus using the 2012 or 2011 recruiting rankings make no sense. In addition, placing significant importance on 2015 also doesn't make much sense since freshmen as a whole don't make much of an impact. Only a few special ones in each class make significant impact.
Alabama, Ohio State, and LSU are the only schools with top 6 recruiting classes in 2013 and 2014, which is why I have them a level ahead of everyone else. A&M is very much in the same class as Auburn (both had top 10-15 classes in 2013 and 2014), however I like A&M's schedule a little more than Auburn which is why I like A&M a little more.
