At just about every position. The Noles return 17 starters from last season, including studs like running back Dalvin Cook, defensive back Derwin James, defensive lineman DeMarcus Walker and offensive lineman Roderick Johnson. This is quite possibly the most talent-rich roster in the country.<\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/40\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-111919 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/250x130-250FREE-6-16-16.gif\" alt=\"250x130-250FREE-6-16-16\" width=\"250\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/p>Florida State\u2019s defense ranked ninth in points allowed last season, and can only get better with all the talent on that side of the ball. James figures to fit in seamlessly into Jalen Ramsey\u2019s role as that Swiss Army knife playmaker in the defensive backfield, while Walker and Josh Sweat make opposing quarterbacks run for dear life.<\/p>\n<p>The only question mark on the team is at quarterback, where redshirt freshman Deondre Francois is set to start. But of course, the last time the Noles gave the keys to a four-star redshirt freshman, Jameis Winston led them to an unbeaten season and \u00a0the national title. Head coach Jimbo Fisher is that good at developing quarterbacks, and Francois\u2019 dual-threat ability will be a new wrinkle for Fisher to utilize this season.<\/p>\n<p>With all that talent on the roster, FSU almost looks destined to go <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/2016-ncaa-season-wins\" target=\"_blank\">over 10 wins<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in the regular season, with its toughest road games coming against Louisville and Miami. The Noles will also have the advantage over its main ACC rival, Clemson, as this year&#8217;s matchup will be at Tallahassee. If the Noles get past that test, their <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa-futures\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+800<\/strong><\/a> odds to win the national championship will look that much better.<\/p>\n<h3>Why the TCU Horned Frogs will overachieve<\/h3>\n<p>Who knows what TCU could\u2019ve achieved had its stars, Trevone Boykin and Josh Doctson \u2013 not to mention its defense \u2013 remained healthy last season. Boykin and Doctson are gone, but eight starters return along that Gary Patterson-led defense, which \u2013 if healthy \u2013 can see the Frogs do big things in the Big 12.<\/p>\n<p>Having such a strong defense will only help new quarterback, Texas A&amp;M transfer Kenny Hill, get used to his surroundings in Fort Worth. \u201cKenny Trill\u201d was pretty prolific in his lone season as the Aggies\u2019 starter in 2014, and he\u2019ll have another talented receiving corps at his disposal at TCU.<\/p>\n<p>KaVontae Turpin, Jaelan Austin and Jarrison Stewart were immediate contributors as freshmen last season. Meanwhile, upperclassmen Ty Slanina and Deante Gray will both return from injury to add some much-needed depth.<\/p>\n<p>The Horned Frogs\u2019 over\/under regular season wins is slated at just <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/2016-ncaa-season-wins\" target=\"_blank\">8.5<\/a><\/strong>, a number they can easily blow away thanks to a fairly favorable schedule. The toughest game on that schedule will be Oklahoma on October 1, but they\u2019ll be at home for that matchup. And with Baylor in disarray, that road trip to Waco in November doesn\u2019t look too daunting. They definitely seem like a worthwhile bet at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa-futures\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+3,000<\/strong><\/a> to win the national title.<\/p>\n<h3>Why the Michigan Wolverines will disappoint<\/h3>\n<p>To be fair to Michigan, the expectations set for them this season are so high that nothing short of a national title will be considered a disappointment. But that\u2019s what you get for hiring Jim Harbaugh and raising the stakes sky-high.<\/p>\n<p>The Wolverines &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa-futures\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+1,000<\/strong><\/a> national title contenders &#8211; obviously have a ton of talent, especially on the defensive side of the ball. They finished sixth in the S&amp;P+ ratings and can easily break into the top five this year. They also return a ton of experience along the offensive line. However, quarterback remains a big question mark once again. They are also a bit lightweight at running back, as well as linebacker.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan\u2019s schedule looks fairly straightforward for the first seven weeks, but then it gets real tough late. They face three road games against Michigan State, Iowa and Ohio State in the last five weeks of the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>Do they have enough firepower to take at least two out of three wins from that stretch? And even if they do get two of three, a loss to either Sparty or the Buckeyes could see the Wolverines edged out in the division, the conference title game, and the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and cash in on all the exciting college football action today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/40\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-111920 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/620x110-250FREE-6-16-16.gif\" alt=\"620x110-250FREE-6-16-16\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"117857\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,514&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apart from Alabama being awesome, few things are ever certain in college football.
