1. Alabama-Georgia Round II will decide the SEC championship (and a CFP spot)
2. Freshman Trevor Lawrence will be Clemson's starting quarterback
3. Chip Kelly will bring life to the Pac-12
4. Jim Harbaugh's team will beat an opponent that matters
5. A sophomore will win the Heisman Trophy.....
6. .......Unless a defensive player finally takes home the Stiff-Armed Trophy
7. Scott Frost (and Nebraska) won't finish unbeaten
8. UCF won't go unbeaten, either.
9. Auburn fans won't like Gus Malzahn after Week 1
10. Lane Kiffin will get a Power 5 job after the 2018 season
7. Scott Frost (and Nebraska) won't finish unbeaten
After guiding UCF to a 13-0 record and self-proclaimed "national championship" this past season, Frost returns to Nebraska, his alma mater, where he played quarterback from 1995-97.
Frost directed one of the greatest turnarounds in recent history at UCF: the Knights went 0-12 in 2015, 6-7 in his first season in 2016 and then unbeaten this past season.
Should Nebraska fans expect more of the same after the Cornhuskers went 4-8 under Mike Riley in 2017? The turnaround might not happen immediately, but Frost will build a Big Ten title contender sooner rather than later.
Big Red fans will have to be patient, though. Not only might Nebraska be starting a freshman quarterback, Adrian Martinez, who missed his entire senior season of high school while recovering from a shoulder injury, but it also plays one of the most difficult schedules in the FBS this coming season.
The Cornhuskers play games at Michigan, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Ohio State and Iowa in 2018, along with home contests against Colorado and Michigan State. Ouch. A 6-6 record and return to the postseason might be a more realistic expectation for Frost in Year 1.
