In danger of collapse: Four teams that could start hot and flop in 2016
QUICKLY

• By midseason, Auburn, Cal, Maryland and Texas Tech could be looking strong—but expect them to divebomb in the second half of the year.

Tuesday August 23rd, 2016


Oct. 24, 2015 was a good time to be a Duke fan. The Blue Devils won a thrilling four-overtime battle with Virginia Tech, which improved them to 6–1 on the season and elevated them to No. 22 in the AP poll. With three wins to begin conference play, Duke’s goal of returning to the ACC title game for the second time in three years appeared in reach. Then, of course, the infamous Miami ending happened. Eight laterals and four refereeing mistakes later, the Blue Devils fell to the Hurricanes and were sent into a tailspin in which they lost four straight games, only pulling up before the end of the regular season with a win over Wake Forest.

This year, some new fan bases will have to deal with the extreme peak and valley of emotions Duke supporters went through in 2015. With schedules that set them up for hot starts only to pummel them later, these four teams are the ones to watch in 2016.

Auburn


The Gus Bus may get rolling again early in 2016, but the true test of its durability is the final six weeks of the regular season. The Tigers don’t have to leave Auburn until Oct. 8, opening the season with five home games. That stretch includes daunting matchups against Clemson and LSU, but at least Auburn will have home-field advantage as it seeks a monumental upset. The other home games (Arkansas State, Texas A&M and Louisiana-Monroe) are solid opportunities to rebuild confidence after last season’s disappointing 7–6 campaign. The lone road game in the first half of the season, at Mississippi State, is the type of contest a resurgent Tigers program should be able to handle. But even if Gus Malzahn’s squad appears to show signs of getting back on track through the first six games, that positive momentum could quickly dissipate in the season’s closing stretch. The Tigers have to travel to Ole Miss, Georgia and Alabama, and even a home divisional crossover game against Vanderbilt does not seem as winnable as it would have the past two years. For Malzahn to earn another year on the Plains, he’ll need to capitalize in September and early October and then hang on through November.

I mean if Vanderbilt had any kind of offense they would've beaten WKU, Ole Miss and Florida last year and would've ended up 7-5. They have a legit defense, now all they need to do is improve on offense.

Yeah that's what I thought Sec, Ohio State, and Clemson/FSU are locks and the last spot would goto a big 12 team that runs the table
