Here are my predictions on how the 2016 College Football Hesiman Trophy race will play out.
Who'll Be Heading to New York?
1. DeShaun Watson, Quarterback, Clemson: Watson comes into the season as the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy and deservingly so. Watson is a real threat to exceed 4,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards. Also, Clemson is the favorite to win the ACC and arguably the favorite to win the National Championship as well, so Watson will receive his due at the end of the season by winning the Hiesman Trophy.
2. Baker Mayfield, Quarterback, Oklahoma: Mayfield is another good candidate to win the Heisman Trophy. Even with the loss of Sterling Sheppard, Oklahoma's offense is still loaded. Oklahoma is the favorite to win the Big-12 this season and is a popular pick to make the College Football Playoff. Mayfield will get his due by earning a trip to the Big Apple.
3. Christian McCaffrey, Running Back, Stanford: McCaffrey should have absolutely won the Heisman last season. McCaffrey has a great chance to post back-to-back seasons with over a thousand all purpose yards and I believe he will. It helps that his team has a real chance to repeat as Pac-12 champions. I believe that happens too, so he'll be back in the Big Apple for a second straight season.
Rest of the Top-10 Finalists
4. Leonard Fournette, Runnung Back, LSU
5. Josh Rosen, Quarterback, UCLA
6. Dalvin Cook, Running Back, Florida State
7. JT Barrett, Quarterback, Ohio State

9. Mason Rudolph, Quarterback, Oklahoma State

2016 College Football Week 1: Picks
Here are my picks for week one of the 2016 College Football Season.
Friday, August 26th
California vs Hawaii; 10:00, ESPN: This should be an interesting game to open the season. It will be played in Sydney, Australia. Cal is expected to take a step back after the departure of Jared Goff, but they should still be able to beat Hawaii, who isn't good.
Pick: California

Appalachian State at (9) Tennessee; 7:30, SECN: Tenneseee better be ready because it wouldn't surprise me if this game is close late.
Pick: Tennessee
South Carolina at Vanderbilt; 8:00, ESPN: Derek Mason could very well be the SEC East's best quarterback when the season ends and I believe Mason will lead the Commodores to a win.

Pick: Colorado
Kansas State at (8) Stanford; 9:00, FS1: This should be an interesting week one matchup as well. It wouldn't be shocking if Bill Snyder's squad kept this close for a bit, but Stanford is the more superior team here led by Christian McCaffrey.
Pick: Stanford
Toledo at Arkansas State; 9:00, ESPNU: This should be a fun matchup between two decent Group Of 5 teams. The Red Wolves are home, so they should be able to get the win even though the Rockets can't be counted out.
Pick: Arkansas State
Cal Poly at Nevada; 9:30
Pick: Nevada
Saturday, September 3rd
Georgia Tech vs Boston College; 7:30, ESPN2: This game is being played in Dublin, Ireland. The Yellow Jackets are looking to bounce back from a disappointing season a year ago and same can be said for the Eagles. Give me the Jackets here, who are the more superior team here.
Pick: Georgia Tech
(3) Oklahoma vs (15) Houston; 12:00, ABC: This game is being played at NRG Stadium in Houston. This game will definitely have an impact on the College Football Playoff as well. The Cougars might have the home field advantage here, but I believe Baker Mayfield will lead the Sooners to a win here.

(16) UCLA at Texas A&M; 3:30, CBS: This is one of the more intriguing of the season's first week. Expect a lot of points to be scored in this one. I am tempted to pick Josh Rosen and the Bruins here, but College Station is going to be ruckus and I believe Trevor Knight leads A&M to a win here.
Pick: Texas A&M
(5) LSU vs Wisconsin; 3:30, ABC: This is going to be a fun game to watch. Wisconsin will have a home field advantage here, but Leonard Fournette will lead a more superior LSU team to a win.

Pick: Arkansas
UC Davis at (24) Oregon; 5:00, Pac-12N
Pick: Oregon
(18) Georgia vs (22) North Carolina; 5:30, ESPN: This should be a fun game in Atlanta. The Bulldogs are looking to have a good year in Kirby Smart's first season as coach.

9/3- Massachusetts at (25) Florida; 7:30, SECN
Pick: Florida
9/3- (20) USC vs (1) Alabama; 8:00, ABC: This should be an interesting game down in Jerry World in Dallas. The defending champs should be ready here and I believe they'll win this one over Max Brown and the Trojans.

Pick: Arizona State
Sunday, September 4th
(10) Notre Dame at Texas; 7:30, ABC: You can make the case that this is the most intriguing game of the weekend. The Irish are dealing with in house turmoil with suspensions galore. Texas should be on the rise in the Big-12 led by freshman quarterback Shane Buechele. This is going to be a close game, but I like DeShone Kizer and the Irish to put the turmoil behind them and get the win on the road.
Pick: Notre Dame
Monday, September 5th
(11) Ole Miss vs (4) Florida State; 8:00, ESPN: This should be a great game in Orlando. This probably will be the best game of the weekend and they'll save it for last. This game will impact the College Football Playoff for sure. This wasn't an easy call, but give me Dalvin Cook and the Noles to come out on top because they'll have a bit of a homefield advantage.
Pick: Florida State

2016 College Football Predictions
Here are my predictions on how the college football season will play out.
American Athletic Conference
The AAC has some decent teams just like last season. Led by quarterback Greg Ward Jr and head coach Tom Herman, Houston is the clear favorite to take home the conference championship and the clear favorite of the Group Of 5 teams to play in a New Years Six Bowl game. I also wouldn't sleep on teams such as Temple, Cincinnati, South Florida in the East Divison.
- East
1. Temple
2. Cincinnati
3. South Florida
4. Connecticut
5. East Carolina
6. UCF
- West
1. Houston
2. Navy
3. Memphis
4. Tulsa
5. Tulane
6. SMU
Conference Championship: Houston over Temple
Atlantic Coastal Conference
The ACC is going to be fun to watch this season for sure, especially at the top of the Atlantic Division. Clemson led by Hiesman Trophy hopeful DeShaun Watson is the team to beat here and Florida State, led by star running back Dalvin Cook will be fighting for a spot in the College Football Playoff, but don't sleep on Louisville, who has a favorable schedule and can play spoiler. The Coastal Division is pretty deep this season with six teams that can make bowl games.
- Atlantic
1. Clemson
2. Florida State
3. Louisville
4. North Carolina State
5. Wake Forest
6. Boston College
7. Syracuse
- Coastal
1. Miami (FL)
2. Pittsburgh
3. North Carolina
4. Georgia Tech
5. Duke
6. Virginia Tech
7. Virginia
Big Ten
The Big Ten is very intriguing this season. The top three teams in the East Division have a realistic shot at making the College Football Playoff. Ohio State has a bunch of young kids coming in but Urban Myer is one of the best in the business and JT Barrett is still around. Michigan has a lot of talent returning and Jim Harbaugh is just awesome. Michigan State will still be in the mix because their schedule is favorable and Mark D'Antonio is a great coach as well. Iowa out in the West Division has a shot too because of the schedule in their favor and all the returning pieces they have.
- East
1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. Michigan State
4. Penn State
5. Indiana
6. Rutgers
7. Maryland
- West
1. Iowa
2. Northwestern
3. Nebraska
4. Wisconsin
5. Minnesota
6. Illinois
7. Purdue
Conference Championship: Ohio State over Iowa
Big-12
The talk of the Big-12 of late is expansion and rightfully so, but we'll save that topic for another day. Oklahoma looks like the team to beat in the Big-12 led by quarterback and Heisman hopeful Baker Mayfield. Oklahoma State should be in the mix after having a breakthrough last season. Baylor is such a big wild card considering their tumultuous offseason. TCU should still be good, but don't sleep on West Virginia and Texas either because their schedules are favorable and are capable of pilling off upsets.
1. Oklahoma
2. Oklahoma State
3. Baylor
4. West Virginia
5. TCU
6. Texas
7. Kansas State
8. Texas Tech
9. Iowa State
10. Kansas
Conference-USA
This should be an interesting conference to watch. Southern Miss has a lot of returning players so they should be the conference favorites after a breakthrough last season. Marshall should be back in the mix as well with talent on both ends of the ball. Middle Tennessee could have a breakthrough led by quarterback Brent Stockstill. Western Kentucky has the players in place but losing Brandon
Doughty could mean a step back.
- East
1. Marshall
2. Middle Tennessee
3. Western Kentucky
4. Florida Atlantic
5. Old Dominion
6. FIU
7. Charlotte
- West
1. Southern Miss
2. Louisiana Tech
3. Rice
4. UTEP
5. North Texas
6. UTSA
Conference Championship: Southern Miss over Marshall
Independents
The Independents should be interesting although Notre Dame is the only team with a realistic shot at a National Championship. Don't sleep on BYU though because they can sneak up on some teams.
1. Notre Dame
2. BYU
3. Massachusetts
4. Army
Mid-American Conference
The MAC should be interesting this season. PJ Fleck's squad is poised to have a breakthrough, so Western Michigan is my pick to win this conference. Northern Illinois returns twelve starters and Toledo lost head coach Matt Campbell to Iowa State, but both those squads in the West should be solid as well. Don't sleep on Ohio in the East division because they quietly had a good year last year and their schedule is in their favor this year.
- East
1. Ohio
2. Bowling Green
3. Buffalo
4. Akron
5. Kent State
6. Miami (OH)
- West
1. Western Michigan
2. Toledo
3. Northern Illinois
4. Central Michigan
5. Eastern Michigan
6. Ball State
Conference Championship: Western Michigan over Ohio
Mountain West Conference
This conference should be interesting too. San Diego State and Boise State are the favorites to win this conference and are sleepers to make a New Years Six Bowl as one of the Group Of 5 representatives. The Mountain Division is the deeper division of the two and don't sleep on Air Force, who can sneak up on teams.
- Mountain
1. Boise State
2. Air Force
3. Colorado State
4. New Mexico
5. Utah State
6. Wyoming
- West
1. San Diego State
2. Nevada
3. San Jose State
4. UNLV
5. Fresno State
6. Hawaii
Conference Championship: San Diego State over Boise State
Pac-12
The Pac-12 is one of the best and deepest conferences in the country, but will the fact that there's so much parody within the conference mean that the Pac-12 will be left out of the College Football Playoff? That's in play. Stanford should be the favorites in the conference led by Christian McCaffrey, who should have won last years Heisman Trophy. Expectations are high for Washington and they should be decent. Don't sleep on Oregon just because they lost Vernon Adams Jr, their still a decent team. I like UCLA to come out of the South Divison led by Josh Rosen, who is the best quarterback in the conference. Don't sleep on Utah, either who has a great defense, is awesome at home, and their schedule is in their favor. USC has the talent to win the South, but their schedule is very difficult.
- North
1. Stanford
2. Oregon
3. Washington
4. Washington State
5. California
6. Oregon State
- South
1. UCLA
2. Utah
3. USC
4. Arizona
5. Arizona State
6. Colorado
Conference Championship: Stanford over UCLA
Southeastern Conference
The SEC is still the best conference in the country from a talent standpoint. Alabama is still the team to beat because their the reigning National Champions and Nick Saban is just a flat out winner. LSU and Ole Miss are still very good teams that should be in the conversation. In the East, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida are all very good teams and are the most likely candidates to win that division.
- East
1. Georgia
2. Tennessee
3. Florida
4. Missouri
5. Kentucky
6. Vanderbilt
7. South Carolina
- West
1. Alabama
2. Ole Miss
3. LSU
4. Mississippi State
5. Texas A&M
6. Auburn
7. Arkansas
Conference Championship: Alabama over Georgia
Sun Belt
The Sun Belt isn't as bad as it was in years past and as many as six teams from this conference can conceivably make a bowl game. Appalachian State is the team to beat here with their schedule in their favor and they have a lot of returning starters on defense. Arkansas State and Georgia Southern should still be solid, but don't sleep on South Alabama, who made a bowl game last season and who's schedule is favorable.
1. Appalachian State
2. Arkansas State
3. South Alabama
4. Georgia Southern
5. Georgia State
6. Louisiana-Lafayette
7. Louisiana-Monroe
8. Texas State
9. Idaho
10. Troy
11. New Mexico State
College Football Playoff
Chick Fil-A Peach Bowl: (1) Clemson vs (4) Ohio State- This is a very intriguing matchup featuring two awesome quarterbacks in DeShaun Watson and JT Barrett. This should be a great game and Clemson will be the pick here because of their experience.
Pick: Clemson
BattleFrog Fiesta Bowl: (2) Alabama vs (3) Oklahoma- This should be a very fun game between two great teams. This was a tough call, but it is very tough to beg against Nick Saban in a big game.
Pick: Alabama
National Championship
(1) Clemson vs (2) Alabama- These are perhaps the two best teams in the country and both are good bets to reach this point to form a rematch of last years National Championship. As I said, Nick Saban is tough to beat in big games, but DeShaun Watson will be the difference here.
Pick: Clemson
American Athletic Conference
The AAC has some decent teams just like last season. Led by quarterback Greg Ward Jr and head coach Tom Herman, Houston is the clear favorite to take home the conference championship and the clear favorite of the Group Of 5 teams to play in a New Years Six Bowl game. I also wouldn't sleep on teams such as Temple, Cincinnati, South Florida in the East Divison.
- East
1. Temple
2. Cincinnati
3. South Florida
4. Connecticut
5. East Carolina
6. UCF
- West
1. Houston
2. Navy
3. Memphis
4. Tulsa
5. Tulane
6. SMU
Conference Championship: Houston over Temple
Atlantic Coastal Conference
The ACC is going to be fun to watch this season for sure, especially at the top of the Atlantic Division. Clemson led by Hiesman Trophy hopeful DeShaun Watson is the team to beat here and Florida State, led by star running back Dalvin Cook will be fighting for a spot in the College Football Playoff, but don't sleep on Louisville, who has a favorable schedule and can play spoiler. The Coastal Division is pretty deep this season with six teams that can make bowl games.
- Atlantic
1. Clemson
2. Florida State
3. Louisville
4. North Carolina State
5. Wake Forest
6. Boston College
7. Syracuse
- Coastal
1. Miami (FL)
2. Pittsburgh
3. North Carolina
4. Georgia Tech
5. Duke
6. Virginia Tech
7. Virginia
Big Ten
The Big Ten is very intriguing this season. The top three teams in the East Division have a realistic shot at making the College Football Playoff. Ohio State has a bunch of young kids coming in but Urban Myer is one of the best in the business and JT Barrett is still around. Michigan has a lot of talent returning and Jim Harbaugh is just awesome. Michigan State will still be in the mix because their schedule is favorable and Mark D'Antonio is a great coach as well. Iowa out in the West Division has a shot too because of the schedule in their favor and all the returning pieces they have.
- East
1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. Michigan State
4. Penn State
5. Indiana
6. Rutgers
7. Maryland
- West
1. Iowa
2. Northwestern
3. Nebraska
4. Wisconsin
5. Minnesota
6. Illinois
7. Purdue
Conference Championship: Ohio State over Iowa
Big-12
The talk of the Big-12 of late is expansion and rightfully so, but we'll save that topic for another day. Oklahoma looks like the team to beat in the Big-12 led by quarterback and Heisman hopeful Baker Mayfield. Oklahoma State should be in the mix after having a breakthrough last season. Baylor is such a big wild card considering their tumultuous offseason. TCU should still be good, but don't sleep on West Virginia and Texas either because their schedules are favorable and are capable of pilling off upsets.
1. Oklahoma
2. Oklahoma State
3. Baylor
4. West Virginia
5. TCU
6. Texas
7. Kansas State
8. Texas Tech
9. Iowa State
10. Kansas
Conference-USA
This should be an interesting conference to watch. Southern Miss has a lot of returning players so they should be the conference favorites after a breakthrough last season. Marshall should be back in the mix as well with talent on both ends of the ball. Middle Tennessee could have a breakthrough led by quarterback Brent Stockstill. Western Kentucky has the players in place but losing Brandon
Doughty could mean a step back.
- East
1. Marshall
2. Middle Tennessee
3. Western Kentucky
4. Florida Atlantic
5. Old Dominion
6. FIU
7. Charlotte
- West
1. Southern Miss
2. Louisiana Tech
3. Rice
4. UTEP
5. North Texas
6. UTSA
Conference Championship: Southern Miss over Marshall
Independents
The Independents should be interesting although Notre Dame is the only team with a realistic shot at a National Championship. Don't sleep on BYU though because they can sneak up on some teams.
1. Notre Dame
2. BYU
3. Massachusetts
4. Army
Mid-American Conference
The MAC should be interesting this season. PJ Fleck's squad is poised to have a breakthrough, so Western Michigan is my pick to win this conference. Northern Illinois returns twelve starters and Toledo lost head coach Matt Campbell to Iowa State, but both those squads in the West should be solid as well. Don't sleep on Ohio in the East division because they quietly had a good year last year and their schedule is in their favor this year.
- East
1. Ohio
2. Bowling Green
3. Buffalo
4. Akron
5. Kent State
6. Miami (OH)
- West
1. Western Michigan
2. Toledo
3. Northern Illinois
4. Central Michigan
5. Eastern Michigan
6. Ball State
Conference Championship: Western Michigan over Ohio
Mountain West Conference
This conference should be interesting too. San Diego State and Boise State are the favorites to win this conference and are sleepers to make a New Years Six Bowl as one of the Group Of 5 representatives. The Mountain Division is the deeper division of the two and don't sleep on Air Force, who can sneak up on teams.
- Mountain
1. Boise State
2. Air Force
3. Colorado State
4. New Mexico
5. Utah State
6. Wyoming
- West
1. San Diego State
2. Nevada
3. San Jose State
4. UNLV
5. Fresno State
6. Hawaii
Conference Championship: San Diego State over Boise State
Pac-12
The Pac-12 is one of the best and deepest conferences in the country, but will the fact that there's so much parody within the conference mean that the Pac-12 will be left out of the College Football Playoff? That's in play. Stanford should be the favorites in the conference led by Christian McCaffrey, who should have won last years Heisman Trophy. Expectations are high for Washington and they should be decent. Don't sleep on Oregon just because they lost Vernon Adams Jr, their still a decent team. I like UCLA to come out of the South Divison led by Josh Rosen, who is the best quarterback in the conference. Don't sleep on Utah, either who has a great defense, is awesome at home, and their schedule is in their favor. USC has the talent to win the South, but their schedule is very difficult.
- North
1. Stanford
2. Oregon
3. Washington
4. Washington State
5. California
6. Oregon State
- South
1. UCLA
2. Utah
3. USC
4. Arizona
5. Arizona State
6. Colorado
Conference Championship: Stanford over UCLA
Southeastern Conference
The SEC is still the best conference in the country from a talent standpoint. Alabama is still the team to beat because their the reigning National Champions and Nick Saban is just a flat out winner. LSU and Ole Miss are still very good teams that should be in the conversation. In the East, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida are all very good teams and are the most likely candidates to win that division.
- East
1. Georgia
2. Tennessee
3. Florida
4. Missouri
5. Kentucky
6. Vanderbilt
7. South Carolina
- West
1. Alabama
2. Ole Miss
3. LSU
4. Mississippi State
5. Texas A&M
6. Auburn
7. Arkansas
Conference Championship: Alabama over Georgia
Sun Belt
The Sun Belt isn't as bad as it was in years past and as many as six teams from this conference can conceivably make a bowl game. Appalachian State is the team to beat here with their schedule in their favor and they have a lot of returning starters on defense. Arkansas State and Georgia Southern should still be solid, but don't sleep on South Alabama, who made a bowl game last season and who's schedule is favorable.
1. Appalachian State
2. Arkansas State
3. South Alabama
4. Georgia Southern
5. Georgia State
6. Louisiana-Lafayette
7. Louisiana-Monroe
8. Texas State
9. Idaho
10. Troy
11. New Mexico State
College Football Playoff
Chick Fil-A Peach Bowl: (1) Clemson vs (4) Ohio State- This is a very intriguing matchup featuring two awesome quarterbacks in DeShaun Watson and JT Barrett. This should be a great game and Clemson will be the pick here because of their experience.
Pick: Clemson
BattleFrog Fiesta Bowl: (2) Alabama vs (3) Oklahoma- This should be a very fun game between two great teams. This was a tough call, but it is very tough to beg against Nick Saban in a big game.
Pick: Alabama
National Championship
(1) Clemson vs (2) Alabama- These are perhaps the two best teams in the country and both are good bets to reach this point to form a rematch of last years National Championship. As I said, Nick Saban is tough to beat in big games, but DeShaun Watson will be the difference here.
Pick: Clemson
