Here are 10 to try for the NCAA in 2011.<\/h3>\n
Arkansas UNDER 8.5 wins<\/strong><\/p>\n No Ryan Mallett and a diminished O-line will make wins tougher to come by in Arkansas this year. To me, the Razorbacks\u2019 trips to Alabama and LSU plus their home games against Texas A&M and South Carolina look like four losses and fewer than nine wins already. Auburn UNDER 6.5 wins<\/strong><\/p>\n We assume the Tigers will win their non-conference games but do we know so? The defending national champs\u2019 roster has been totally gutted. And life in the SEC could be miserable, including trips to South Carolina, LSU and Georgia and home games against Florida and Alabama. <\/p>\n I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Auburn totally tanked this season.<\/p>\n Boise State OVER 10.5 wins<\/strong><\/p>\n The Broncos still have that powerhouse defense and Heisman Trophy hopeful Kellen Moore leading a potent offense. With Utah and BYU vacating the Mountain West just as Boise State arrived, I\u2019m not even convinced the Broncos will have a tougher challenge this season. They could easily go undefeated again and get no BCS respect again. <\/p>\n Their Week-1 trip to Georgia could be their toughest game to win.<\/p>\n Georgia OVER 9 wins<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ll admit that this is risky. But everyone is high on rising star quarterback Aaron Murray. The Bulldogs play in the SEC but dodge Alabama and LSU on the schedule this season. That means, in my mind, they skip the two toughest teams in the conference. <\/p>\n To me, Georgia could start 0-2 against Boise State and South Carolina but run the table the rest of the way.<\/p>\n LSU OVER 9.5 wins<\/strong><\/p>\n Can LSU go 10-2? I think so. At least the Tigers get Oregon at home. The Alabama game in November admittedly makes me nervous. But, again, they could drop both of those games and still win every other. I\u2019m curious to see if LSU gets more out of enigmatic quarterback Jordan Jefferson this season. If it can, the sky\u2019s the limit for this team.<\/p>\n Mississippi State OVER 7.5 wins<\/strong><\/p>\n With its potent offense, I think Mississippi State can overcome the losses to their linebacker core on \u201cD\u201d and go 9-3 this season. The only problems I foresee are the trip to Georgia and home games against South Carolina and Alabama. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Even if the Bulldogs lose at Auburn in September, that still puts them on track to go 8-4 in my mind.<\/p>\n Oklahoma OVER 10 wins<\/strong><\/p>\n I straight-up think Oklahoma is the best team in the country, as many of us do, so I think it can go undefeated. Sure, if has tough competition. But I see Oklahoma splitting its trip to Florida State and home game against Texas A&M 1-1 at worst, which would put the Sooners in line for 11 victories.<\/p>\n Oregon OVER 10 wins<\/strong><\/p>\n The core that reached the national title game returns. LaMichael James terrorized opposing defenses last season; I don\u2019t see why he can\u2019t do so again. Argh, I know the schedule is deadly with trips to LSU and Stanford. <\/p>\n But I\u2019ll call Oregon to at least outgun Andrew Luck and beat Stanford\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n Stanford OVER 9 wins<\/strong><\/p>\n I have to think Andrew Luck will crusade to the Heisman and No. 1 overall NFL draft status next season. To do so, he\u2019ll have to keep Stanford as competitive as it was last year. I don\u2019t see many threats to a 10-2 season on the Cardinal\u2019s schedule. The only really dangerous team they face on the road in my mind is USC. <\/p>\n They could lose that game and fall to Oregon at home and still win 10 games.<\/p>\n Wisconsin OVER 9.5 wins<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m bullish on Wisconsin this season. Love their running game and I think Russell Wilson will handle the quarterback job better than many people expect. <\/p>\n The Badgers\u2019 schedule doesn\u2019t scare me at all. Nebraska could cause trouble but Wisconsin gets that game at home; Ohio State should take a step back this season with no more Terrelle Pryor and no more Jim Tressel, so the Buckeyes aren\u2019t a sure bet to beat Wisconsin on October 29 either. <\/p>\n I think the Badgers can go 10-2 if not better than that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shea Matthews our Senior sports writer at CappersPicks.com weighs in with his win total projections for 2011’s top ncaa football teams.
