Kiffins or the Owls!

Florida Atlantic
The Owls open up the 2018 season at
Oklahoma, and if they can pull off that
upset, there is a good chance they could
go undefeated in the regular season
and be fighting for a top 10 spot come
the end of November. In Lane Kiffin’s
second season, he is overseeing a roster
that has been almost completely turned
upside down since he has arrived.
It’s filled with junior college players,
transfers from other Division I schools
and high school prospects that would
have never landed with the Owls before
he arrived. He has playmakers on both
sides of the ball including All-American
running back Devin Singletary, who
accounted for 32 touchdowns in 2017.
Central Florida
The season the Golden Knights had
last year was one to remember as they
capped their season off with a victory
against #10 ranked Auburn Tigers 34-27
in the Peach Bowl and finished sixth in
the country (and national champions?
Depends on whom you ask). Granted
they lost a lot after the 2017 season, but
new head coach Josh Heupel still holds
a roster worthy of competing at a very
high level with the capability to repeat
what they did last year. They return
big-time playmakers on offense
including heralded junior quarterback
McKenzie Milton. They probably have
the toughest schedule amongst all
non-Power 5 schools. They go on the
road to North Carolina and will host
Pittsburgh and Florida Atlantic in
marquee mid-major matchups.
