Way-Too-Early Bold Predictions For The 2016 College Football Season

Yes, it’s insanely early to start making predictions for 2016. Certainly some of these will be way off base, but if 2015 taught us anything it’s that the wild and the weird happen every day in college football.

Watson gets better every year, and his performance in the National Championship game was stellar. If he doesn't win in 2016 the Heisman Committee needs to be fired.

Ole MIss has been Alabama's Achilles heel for two seasons now. They also improve every season, and their recruiting class is one of the best in the SEC. With Heisman winner Derrick Henry defecting to the pros and their QB gone, Alabama might struggle a bit in 2016. The 2016 game is also at home for the Rebels, which is yet another point in their favor.

FSU and Clemson will most likely duke it out for the ACC Atlantic, while Tennessee should easily win the SEC East. If Michigan can get by Ohio State -- which they almost did this season -- they could be Big 10 champions.
