Since then, a playoff format has been introduced that may itself prove controversial with the instatement of a playoff committee that will decide the top four playoff teams starting in 2015.

What does this year in college football hold in store for us? Will Texas A&M and Mizzou be pummeled under the might of their new SEC schedules? Will Nick Saban find his twin brother in the Wonka factory? Will Auburn find a quarterback worth a damn? Will Lane Kiffin have USC on probation again within the next three years? Will Bob Stoops finally confess his love for men?

Stay tuned...

I'm gonna go with a respective yes(A&M should practice their fetal position now, Mizzou will fare better but not by much), not likely, no, most definitely, and also unlikely.

I really want to say the Huskers are gonna rock this year, but it seems to me they have by far the hardest schedule of the B1G teams. It really comes down to how the defense is under the new coordinator since Carl Pelini is now with Florida Atlantic. If the D can be anywhere near as good as back in the days of Suh, and if Taylor Martinez can develop some passing skill (scary thought) the Huskers could certainly post their best record under Bo Pelini, but if those things don't happen, this year could be really really scary for us Cornhuskers.

Negative, but Ash has a lot of excuses for last season.

I mean, Garrett Gilbert was the one getting nearly all the snaps in the off-season. Case McCoy got back-up reps. All true freshman Ash had was a special zone-read package. Then, of course, he was thrown into the fire against OU after Case sucked (when OU's D was healthy; that OU team that got destroyed by OSU wasn't the same team Texas played). Ash didn't start getting starter snaps until after the OU game and then our four best offensive players got hurt in consecutive weeks (3 RB's, 1 WR).

I don't think expecting Ash to improve considerably (from horrific to average) is unreasonable.

Someone was really bored. Almost all of those results look completely off-base.
