Every summer since 2007 I have created an intricate set of college football predictions for each upcoming season. This year is no exception, as I will be using my blog over the next few hours to publish my 2-th annual college football preview guide which will contain 20 entries in all. Without further ado, here are the teams I am predicting to surprise this season.
