So my formula for previewing teams is simple. I take into account how a team played last season, who their Head Coach is, how many players they have returning, and notable transfer. That’s it, it’s that simple. For the first couple of weeks anyways, then it gets a little more complicated.
I will give each team below a quick preview, then I will decided if they are a PLAY-ON/BET-ON Team or are they a FADE team.
Moving forward I will try to only focus on teams power 5 conference teams who are playing each other in the first couple of weeks of the season. I explain in pervious blogs why I only focus on power 5 and a few others (AAC, Mountain West, etc.). So go back and read about it in the archives if you’re interested.
UCLA Brunis College Football Preview – BET-ON/PLAY-ON
Chip Kelly has this program trending in the right direction and just received a 4 year contract extension. Although some previews I read seemed to be down on this team because they lost one defensive starter to the 49ers in the NFL Draft, other than that, I think their prospects for 2022 season are very bright. They’re returning a total of 16 starters, seven on defense and nine on offense. Including QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson and RB Zach Charbonnet. The main concern from the pundits about this team is their defense. With the exception of Utah, the PAC-12 is not recently known for exceptional defensive units, so I’ll take my chances and say this is a “play-on” team.
Penn State College Football Preview 2022 – FLAT
Penn State returns Sean Clifford at QB and enough on offense to be just as good as last year, despite not as many veterans returning on the defensive side of the ball. This team was close enough winning 10 games last season and I can see the fortune being on their side this year.
Short Preview – I Know
Okay, so it was a short preview today, I know. Next time I’ll try to only focus on teams that are playing each other. BYE!
