2018 College Football Betting: What Teams Can Reach the 10-Win Mark?
Michigan State has an unusual schedule, with their bye week in Week Three. Their non-conference slate is quite manageable, with Utah State and Central Michigan at home and Arizona State on the road. They only have five road games overall, and only one of their road conference games is against an elite foe (at Penn State), as they get Ohio State and Michigan at home, and they avoid Iowa and Wisconsin from the Big Ten West, with their toughest cross-divisional game at home against Northwestern for Homecoming. They have Brian Lewerke coming back at quarterback, along with tailback L.J. Scott, and they will have a tough defense. Oklahoma has only four real road games this season. Their nonconference slate brings Florida Atlantic (which could be a huge trap game), UCLA and Army to Norman, and they have to go to TCU, Texas Tech, Iowa State and West Virginia in conference play. Iowa State can be a trap destination, but the home loss to the Cyclones last year should give them plenty of motivation. TCU is working in a new quarterback (as are the Sooners, but the Sooners have a more consistent offensive system). Texas Tech and West Virginia are road destinations against teams with high-powered offenses, but the Sooners showed last season that they have a dominant system of their own. Central Florida rolled up a perfect record last season, finishing with a 34-27 win over Auburn in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl. Their non-conference slate includes South Carolina State, Florida Atlantic and Pitt at home, with a trip to ACC doormat North Carolina — four winnable games. Their toughest road game in AAC play will likely be at Memphis, as South Florida is down this year after losing quarterback Quinton Flowers. They avoid Houston and Tulsa in cross-divisional play, so while they have Navy and Temple to deal with, both of those games come at home. Georgia has non-conference games against Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee, UMass and Georgia Tech. The last of these is the only one that raises any red flags at all because of that triple option that the Yellow Jackets like to run. Georgia has two new tailbacks in D’Andre Swift and Elijah Holyfield, but while they have huge shoes to fill, they have the speed and talent to do it. Quarterback Jake Fromm returns to lead a solid offense. The defense only returns five starters, but Kirby Smart’s system will incorporate the players down the depth chart quickly. The toughest game in the regular season will be a trip to LSU (assuming Georgia gets by South Carolina in Week Two), but this is a team that should roll to an 11-win or 12-win regular season. Clemson had some tough tests last year, losing at Syracuse on a Friday night and almost losing to Florida State in the regular season finale. However, they righted the ship and won the ACC before getting derailed in the national semifinal by Alabama. Their defensive line all decided to return for another season, which spells trouble for the rest of the ACC. Two starters in the secondary need to be replaced, but they have the talent and system to do it, and they have a wealth of options at quarterback with Kelly Bryant and Trevor Lawrence. Clemson does have to travel to Georgia Tech and Florida State, but Clemson seems to relish the challenges in conference play. They need to avoid mental gaffes like the ones that have led to losses to Pittsburgh at home and Syracuse on the road in the last two seasons.Who was the best college football team in the BCS era?
