Surprise Teams (Up):
Tennessee and Syracuse both are so similar. Programs were gutted by coaching changes...rosters really depleted by defections and tons of injuries the last few seasons. Both had losing records last year but had moments of brilliance.
I see both teams getting back to the plus side. I can see 7 wins for each, maybe more.
Surprise Teams (Down):
Boise State has suffered a loss of a lot of players from graduation and will lose 2-3 games in the regular season and be no better than a 2nd or 3rd place Big East team this year. Their record and past rep will keep them in the Top 25 but playing in the depleted MWC will not show how much they fall this year. I predict they lose by 17 points to Michigan State and will lose 1 or 2 games in conference.
