Ladies
& Gentlemen, it’s that time of the year again. It’s time for the 2016
College Football season to commence.
After going wild for our country’s participation and great showing at
the Olympic Games in Rio over a week ago was just enough to get me excited for this
College Football Season and it also helped me take my mind off the upcoming
season.
But
you all that know me I’m all about anything Running related (Cross, Track &
Field & the road), Soccer, College Basketball, and most especially College
Football when it comes to Sports Watching. I enjoy watching and participating
in other sports as well but those I mentioned are my favorite to watch. If you
read my blog the past few years every year I make my predictions for the
upcoming College Football Season. So it’s time for D-Money’s 2016 College
Football Predictions.
However,
due to Marathon Training and Coaching I unfortunately don’t go into too much
detail on the teams or conference except of course for my Favorite Team (All
Collegiate & Pro Sports included) THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES!!!!!
This
year the Buckeyes have the difficulty task of replacing the talent they lost to
the NFL Draft (5 guys in the First Round, 12 Drafted Overall which includes RB
Ezekiel Elliot & DE Joey Bosa). With only 3 Starters back on Offense and 3
Starters back on Defense, Urban Meyer is up to the task as he has had one of
the Top 3 Recruiting Classes the last 5 years he has been here and this
upcoming 2017 Recruiting Class for next year is #1 in most Recruiting Webpages.
So the Talent is there but some of them are unproven. Here’s a link from
Bleacher Report.Com previewing the Buckeyes Season.
Pretty
much that’s the Record I personally think Ohio State will be this year. 11-1
but winning the Big Ten but losing in the College Football Playoff. It will be
a phenomenal job if the win this year but it will still be phenomenal if Urban
gets them back to the CFB Playoff after losing all of that talent. They might
lose at Oklahoma in Week 3(Who is also a Playoff Contender after being there
last year and returning a lot from that team)
but after the Bye Week I expect the Buckeyes to be focus and run through
the Big Ten Schedule including beating Michigan at Home spoiling their season
and winning the B10 Championship Game.
Below
here’s my prediction for every conference along with my conference champions
and My Predictions just for the New Years Six Bowl Games(since they’re the
biggest bowls to watch) including the College Football Playoff.
