Notre Dame had a very bad year last year, we expect them to reverse that and make it to a contract bowl this year. BYU should also have a very good year (relative to their tough schedule). Army will again qualify for a bowl game, the first time in 30+ years that Army has gone to bowl games in consecutive years.<\/p>\n

For each Conference we will have the Simplified Football predictions (record) with the Projected Win-Shares and rating of each team next to it. We will also have Bowl Projections for each conference.<\/p>\n
