New Mexico State Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

6-6: The Aggies struggle out of the gate in their two road games, but the roll for the next four weeks with four straight wins in a stunning start to the first half of the season. There are a few midseason struggles, but wins over UMass and Texas State mean bowl eligibility.

New Mexico State Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

2-10: There’s no luck at home. There are a few wins over teams like Akron and Texas Southern, but the Aggies can’t get by the rivalry dates against New Mexico and UTEP, and a loss at UMass drags a losing season down even further. The year closes out with an ugly blowout to Florida, and that’s it with NMSU finishing up a week before everyone else.

UConn Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

6-6: Beating UMass kicks things off with a bang before dropping the three games against the Power Five programs. It all comes back with wins over Old Dominion and Maine at home, and with a win over Liberty on Halloween to set up a big final month. With wins in two of the last three games, the Huskies have their bounce-back season with bowl eligibility.

UConn Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

2-10: The new independent team loses just about everything. There’s a win over UMass at home, and beating Maine isn’t a problem, but it’s not even close against any of the five Power Five programs on the slate, and nothing goes right in the winnable games against Old Dominion, Middle Tennessee or at San Jose State.

UMass Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

7-5: UMass bounces back from a miserable 2019 with an early 3-0 start with wins over UConn, Troy and Albany before going on the road for three of its next four games. It wins two of the three, uses the off week to rest up for New Mexico State, and cements a bowl bid and a winning season by splitting the dates against Army and Liberty.

UMass Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

3-9: It all starts with a road loss to UConn and it keeps on going. Losses to Troy and Appalachian State are bad, but dropping the date on the road to New Mexico is worse. There’s a win here and there – like at Akron and against New Mexico State – but that’s it with a rough three-game losing streak to close out the season.

Army Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

10-2: The Knights can’t quite handle Oklahoma, but they roll past everyone else in the first two months with a great run against the MAC. They get by Miami University, Eastern Michigan and Buffalo, and they use the open date to get past Air Force in the final home game of the year. They win two of the three November road games, and of course, they beat Navy.

Army Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

5-7: Things haven’t quite turned around yet, and it shows in a stunning loss at Rice. With a loss at Miami University, it’s a rough start that doesn’t get a whole lot better with a loss to Air Force to kick off November. With four straight games away from Michie Stadium to close things out, they lose at Tulane, get stunned by either UMass or UConn, and they lose to Navy to miss out on a bowl game.

20 For 2020 College Football Topics, No. 20: Best Programs To Not Make The College Football Playoff

20 for 2020 College Football Topics, No. 20: The five winningest programs who haven’t made the College Football Playoff.


Contact/Follow @ColFootballNews & @PeteFiutak

Check LSU off the box – and in a big way.

It’s really, really hard to get into the College Football Playoff, much less do anything in the mini-tournament. Only 11 teams have been able to get there in six seasons, and only four schools – LSU, Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State – have been able to win it.

Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Washington are the one-timers along with the regulars – Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma and Ohio State – and that’s part of the problem.

In six years, only 8% of the teams playing college football have been able to play for the national championship. That’s no fun.

It’s time for more teams to get into this thing – expansion is overdue – and it’s time for some new blood to crank up the energy that LSU brought last season.

Which five programs have done the most over the last six years without getting in?  Which programs have won the most games and had the most success in the College Football Playoff era without getting in?

Let’s begin with a glaringly painful reality …

Louisiana Tech Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

11-1: The Bulldogs win the two road games against UNLV and Southern Miss right out of the box. There might be a loss to Baylor on the road, but they ally back to roll through the rest of the regular season, win at Vanderbilt, and pull off an impressive one-loss regular season, the Conference USA West title, and are in the hunt for the Group of Five’s New Year’s Six slot.

[lawrence-related id=507621]

Louisiana Tech Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

5-7: The Bulldogs are being the Conference USA West 8-ball early on with a loss at Southern Miss. They whiff at home against Marshall, are shocked by UAB, and lose at least two of their last three road games – three of the last four dates are on the road – and barely miss out on getting to six wins.

North Texas Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

9-3: The Mean Green pull off a great win over SMU and hold serve at home over the first half of the season to bounce back from last year’s disaster. They split the road games against Houston and Middle Tennessee, get past Louisiana Tech at home, and win all three second half road games against UTEP, UAB and UTSA on the way to the West championship and a spot in the Conference USA title game.

[lawrence-related id=507621]

North Texas Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

4-8: UNT collapses from the start, going 1-4 before struggling against Charlotte. And then comes the problem of three road games in four dates, and with a shocking loss at UTEP, all three are losses. This won’t be a total wipeout of the season, but here are already seven losses before going into the easy final two weeks.

Rice Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

7-5: The Owls stun Houston in the local date, and they show just how much of a new team and a new era this is with wins over Army and UAB for a strong first half of the season. With home wins over Middle Tennessee and UTSA at home, a bowl game is a possibility, and it’s cemented after splitting road games at Louisiana Tech and North Texas and beating UTEP.

[lawrence-related id=507621]

Rice Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

3-9: The Owls get bombed by Houston to start the season and are run over by Army. They drop the dates against Marshall and UAB for a 1-5 start, and it’s uphill from there. Losses to Middle Tennessee and at Southern Miss continue the misery, as to road losses to Louisiana Tech and North Texas. There are a few wins along the way – like at home against UTSA and UTEP – but it’s still a rough run.

There isn’t a losable game on the slate other than the battle at AU, but they drop a date somewhere like at WKU or at home against Louisiana Tech or Florida Atlantic on the way to the Conference USA championship game.

Southern Miss Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

6-6: USM can’t take advantage of its favorable slate and loses to both Louisiana. Tech and Florida Atlantic at home, and to WKU and UAB on the road. Throw in the loss at Auburn, and there’s a bit too much of a flirtation with a losing season.

UAB Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

10-2: When you’re second-toughest game is at Louisiana Tech, you have to take advantage the slate. The Blazers drop the game at Miami, but they win everything else. They use the week off to get by Louisiana Tech on the road, and they roll to the Conference USA championship game. Realistically, there’s another loss along the way to go along with the date in Coral Gables, but with this slate, ad double-digit win season is a must.

[lawrence-related id=507621]

UAB Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

6-6: There’s no way to totally collapse with this slate, but the Blazers have problems with a resurgent Rice team on the road, can’t get by WKU or Southern Miss at home, and drop the date at Louisiana Tech. A brain-cramp against North Texas an another on the road at South Alabama makes it a wildly disappointing season.
