- Clemson – Most key skill guys return including the star QB/RB/WRs. D loses some.
- Alabama – A lot of losses. Strength of team will be WRs for a change.
- Oklahoma – Tremendous skill position players remain
- LSU – Incredible 1-2 at RB. Concern as always will be passing game but WR talent
- Stanford – Focus will be on McCaffrey but well rounded team with talent at QB
- Ohio State – Lost more talent on both sides than expected. Still great QB/Coach combo
- Baylor – Offense was unstoppable before QB injuries. Some key losses on lines.
- Tennessee – Experienced QB and some stars on D. Passing game needs consistency.
- Florida State – Huge issue is QB. Very young team got through rebuilding year this past season.
- Michigan – May return most of the top B1G teams but QB a ?
- Michigan State – Solid but not spectacular. Feel comfortable with O’Connor.
- UCLA – Must be healthier on D. Rosen in year 2 will be a benefit.
- USC – Talent scattered around field but we’ve heard this story for a couple years now.
- Notre Dame – Weathered injury bug well in 2015. Set up well at QB but losing a lot
- Oregon – Looked bad without Vernon Adams. Don’t think they can find another Adams.
- Oklahoma State – Fell back with tougher competition but team was young in some places.
- Iowa – Return a lot of players and schedule is still beneficial. Fun game with NDSU.
- North Carolina – Didn’t beat anyone in 2015 but key players on O do return.
- Louisville – Team to watch out for with talent on D and a dangerous QB learning to play.
- Ole Miss – Key stars are gone but good incoming class, experienced QB, culture developed.
- Wisconsin – Defense will always be strong. Must run ball more consistently like previously.
- Georgia - Lot of pressure on incoming freshman. Talent remains on both sides of ball.
- Houston – Lose top RB/WR but QB that makes it all work returns.
- Washington – Came on strong late building around two youngsters at QB/RB. Great coach.
- TCU – Lose a lot of talent but bowl comeback showed its not all about Boykin.
- Miami – Richt falls into good situation with QB and a team that did win some games in 2015.
- Boise State – Had some weird games last season with turnovers. Return many key guys.
- Texas A&M – One of the toughest to evaluate. Maybe most talented WRs and battle-tested QB.
- Florida – Awful finish does not erase the defensive talent. Must figure out QB situation.
- Nebraska – Got momentum off of bowl win for Armstrong final year.
- West Virginia – Smallwood leaving disappointing but explosive O still.
- Arizona State – Coming off a poor season, should be good in the backfield.
- Arkansas – Lose a ton on offense including the two RBs that have thrived under coach.
- Washington State – Surprising 2015 with a lot of good wins. Can D replicate in 2016?
- Utah – Lose a lot. Don’t think this will be the same team that we saw for much of last year.
- Northwestern – Got their money’s worth from losses in 2015. Can’t overachieve again.
- Auburn – Will have to figure out QB situation. Seemed to find a RB late in year.
- Texas – Probably best non-bowl team last season needs more offensive consistency.
- Arizona – Defense remains hideous. Should be healthier in backfield.
- Mississippi State – Returns some talent but Dak meant so much.
- Clemson – Most key skill guys return including the star QB/RB/WRs. D loses some.
