UTEP Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

7-5: The Miners get through a rough first part with a win over New Mexico State, and then they go on a second half run. They pull off a shocker and win two of the three home games against North Texas, FIU and UAB, get by Charlotte on the road, and enjoy not leaving Texas over the last seven games with wins on the road at UTSA and Rice to get bowl eligible.

[lawrence-related id=507621]

UTEP Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

1-11: UTEP goes UTEP and just can’t get the job done anywhere. There’s a win somewhere – like against New Mexico State – but that’s it. The top winnable games – UTSA, Charlotte and Rice – are all on the road, there’s no Old Dominion to face, and there’s no fun … again.

UTSA Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

8-4: The Roadrunners don’t get anyone hurt against LSU in the opener and come up with two straight wins right after to get the season going. They take care of home with wins over Old Dominion, UTEP and North Texas, they beat Rice on the road, and they pull off an upset somewhere for a no-problem winning season and bowl appearance.

[lawrence-related id=507621]

UTSA Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

3-9: There’s a problem on the road. They whiff against Texas State, and they lose every other road game, including to Rice. That’s six losses right there, throw in home losses to Memphis, Louisiana Tech and North Texas, and it’s another ugly campaign.

Notre Dame Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

12-0: The Fighting Irish roll through the manageable schedule without much of a problem – for the most part. There isn’t a hiccup in Dublin with an early win over Navy, September is a breeze, and then comes the fun. They survive Wisconsin in Green Bay to set the tone for the showdown in South Bend against Clemson a few weeks later.

It might not be the Game of the Century, but it might be the game of the year. A perfect performance and a win pushes them up to No. 1, they survive the rest of November, and it’s off to the College Football Playoff.

Notre Dame Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

7-5: The dream of going unbeaten might be a bit ambitious, especially after struggling to stop the Navy option in a stunning loss to kick things off. Realistically, the Irish get to the Wisconsin with no more than two losses – more likely one – but they lose in Lambeau. They drop the date against Clemson, but not before misfiring against a Stanford or Pitt. They lose at USC to close out a disappointing run.

American Athletic Conference East Teams Missed: East Carolina, Temple

Houston Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

11-1: It all clicks right away. The Cougars warm up against Rice before taking out Washington State in Pullman. They show this really is a new season and a new start for the Dana Holgorsen era with a win at Memphis to take control of the West, and it all keeps rolling from there. They split the back-to-back dates against UCF and at Cincinnati, but they win out to win the division and stay alive for a spot in the New Year’s Six.

[lawrence-related id=508074]

Houston Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

5-7: Painful early losses to Washington State and Memphis on the road make it 2020 all over again. A good run of wins start to turn things around, but a brutal four-game losing streak of at BYU, at Navy, UCF and at Cincinnati is a disaster. A loss at SMU completes another losing season.

American Athletic Conference East Teams Missed: East Carolina

Memphis Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

11-1: Everything goes just fine in the transition to the new coaching staff with wins over Arkansas State, Purdue and Houston to show that nothing changes with a team good enough to keep the 2019 success rolling. With a week off to prepare, the Tigers get by UCF, but there’s a loss along the way – possibly at Cincinnati – with no problems the rest of the way as they get back to the American Athletic Conference title game.

[lawrence-related id=508074]

Memphis Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

6-6: This isn’t the same type of team and there isn’t the same production. A loss at Purdue is bad, but dropping a shootout against Houston is worse – the race for the West will take a serious hit before the end of September. They lose a shootout at SMU and drop the UCF and Cincinnati showdowns, but they avoid a losing season.

Navy Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

10-2: The option works in a brilliant opening game win over Notre Dame in Dublin. It’s followed up with a great run of wins including road dates over Tulane, Air Force and East Carolina. The Midshipmen split the home games against Houston and Memphis, but there are a few misfires along the way. Even so, the losses don’t matter too much as they go off to play for the American Athletic Conference title.

[lawrence-related id=508074]

Navy Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

The loss to Notre Dame is only the beginning of tough first half. Losses to Tulane and Air Force on the road hurt, and the rough travel schedule stings after losses to Houston and SMU put a winning season in jeopardy. There’s no luck against Memphis, and worst of all, with a bowl spot on the line, the Midshipmen drop the date against Army.

SMU Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

10-2: The Mustangs get out to 3-0 without a problem, and then they split the nasty home games against TCU and Memphis before getting hot in the second half of the year. They beat both Cincinnati and Navy, take out Temple, and win shootout after shootout to take the West and go off to the American Athletic Conference championship.

[lawrence-related id=508074]

SMU Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

5-7: There isn’t any luck against the better teams. The Mustangs lose to TCU and Memphis, and drop the date at Tulane. To make things worse, they lose the home date to Cincinnati to put the pressure on in November. The D doesn’t hold up against Temple or Houston on the way to a losing season.

Tulane Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

9-3: A win at Northwestern helps the Green Wave get off to a nice 3-0 start – beating Navy helps – and winning two out of the three road games against Mississippi State, Houston and UCF gets things going for a potentially big year. And then comes the run, winning four of the last five games including a key victory over Memphis to take the West title.

[lawrence-related id=508074]

Tulane Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

5-7: The Green Wave can’t pull up out of the 1-3 September – beating SE Louisiana, and losing to everyone else. Losses to Houston and UCF on the road all but kill any hopes of a bowl game, and a whiff somewhere along the way – like against Temple or Army – helps cement the rough year with a loss to Memphis to close things out.

Tulsa Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

8-4: The Golden Hurricane get off to a nice start with a win over Toledo and victories over Northwestern State an Arkansas State for a good September. They manage to split dates with UCF and Cincinnati, and do just enough to have a nice second half of the year – helped by a run of three home games in four weeks – to be a feel-good story on the way to a bowl game.

[lawrence-related id=508074]

Tulsa Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

4-8: A home loss to Toledo to kick things off is a problem. After losing road games to Oklahoma State, Arkansas State and UCF, there’s a must win over Cincinnati, and … loss. With losses to Navy and Houston, it’s another losing season against a rough schedule.

USF Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

8-4: The Jeff Scott era kicks off with a good performance at Texas in a loss. A good run through September builds up a nice base of wins, and then splitting the road games at Cincinnati and Temple take things up a notch. The Bulls split the back-to-back road games at Memphis and Houston before closing out with wins over Navy and – finally – UCF.

[lawrence-related id=508074]

USF Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

4-8: The Bulls lose just about everything on the road. They drop the dates at Texas, Cincinnati, Temple, Memphis and Houston, but making things worse is at loss at Florida Atlantic in a moment for the start of two new coaching staffs. Throw in a loss to UCF and at least one other home game along the way, and there’s a whole lot of rebuilding to do.
