*2025 Record in Parenthesis

1. Air Force (4-8)- (Buy) The Falcons have posted double digit wins after back-to-back losing seasons twice under 20-year HC Troy Calhoun. With Jr. QB Liam Szarka back along with the return of former defensive coordinator Steve Russ look for this team to contend for a MW title.

OVER/UNDER TOTAL WINS 7.5

2. Tulsa (4-8)- (Buy) So. QB Baylor Hayes (15 total TD's in 2025) and Sr. transfer RB Trequan Jones (Old Dominion) give the offense a strong 1-2 punch. If the portal additions can shore up the D-line, the Golden Hurricane are more than capable of bowl eligibility and beyond in HC Tre Lamb's second season.

OVER/UNDER TOTAL WINS 5.5

3. Virginia Tech (3-9)- (Buy) New HC James Franklin (128-60 career record) brings stability back to Blacksburg following a sub-par 3-plus seasons under the previous staff. With a deep backfield and plenty of reliable targets for So. transfer QB Ethan Grunkemeyer (Penn State) look for the Hokies to ascend up the ACC standings following last year's T-13th finish.

OVER/UNDER TOTAL WINS 6.5

4. Wisconsin (4-8)- (Buy) The Badgers turn to dual-threat Jr. transfer QB Colton Joseph from Old Dominion (2,624 pass yards, 34 total TD's) to ignite the nation's 133rd ranked scoring offense in 2025. A less daunting schedule this time around (sans Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon) will help right the ship in Madison following back-to-back losing seasons.

OVER/UNDER TOTAL WINS 6.5

5. San Diego State (9-4)- (Sell) The Aztecs' 11th ranked total defense from last year must replace 10 starters as well as coordinator Rob Aurich, who took the same position at Nebraska. If Sr. QB Jayden Denegal is unable to develop as a serious passing threat this team may struggle to find its' footing in the newly formed Pac-12 conference.

OVER/UNDER TOTAL WINS 7.5

6. Oklahoma State (1-11)- (Buy) New HC Eric Morris, who led North Texas to 11 wins and the nation's top scoring offense last year, brought along his top playmakers including So. QB Drew Mestemaker (4,379 yards, 34 TD's). If the Cowboys can just be average defensively this team will be a factor in the Big 12 race come November.

OVER/UNDER TOTAL WINS 6.5

7. Charlotte (1-11)- (Buy) Second year HC Tim Albin has a proven track record winning at both his previous stops (Ohio and Northwestern Oklahoma State). With coordinators returning on both sides of the ball expect the 49ers to be a lot more competitive in 2026 following a 1-win season a year ago.

OVER/UNDER TOTAL WINS 2.5
