Every summer since 2007 I have created an intricate set of college football predictions for the upcoming season. This year is no exception, as I will be using my blog over the next few weeks to publish my predictions. The one major modification to my predictions for 2015 is that I have gone through every team’s schedule and actually predicted the result of every game in FBS. Without further ado, here are the teams I am predicting to disappoint this season. These teams are ordered in the relative disparity between my picks and the experts average while also taking into account the significance of each pick.
