123 Memphis Tigers

Next up are just one of the newcomers to the American Athletic Conference, the Memphis Tigers. Memphis accepted a bid after wanting to get into a "major" conference with BCS ties for many seasons. They leave Conference USA after some not so good seasons in the recent past.

The Tigers have only won nine games since the 2009-2010 season, and the last time they made a bowl game was in 2008-2009 season when they won seven games.

The Tigers won four games last season, which was the most since 2008, all against conference foes.

They are returning some key members of their offense including: senior quarterback Jacob Karam, runningbacks Brandon Hayes, and Jai Steib, and wide receiver Keiwone Malone.

Jacob Karam was the starter all last season throwing for 1895 of the teams 1999 yards, 14 of the 16 touchdowns, and had a completion percentage of 64.

Runningbacks Brandon Hayes and Jai Steib split rushing duties combining for 1003 yards and 12 touchdowns while averaging about 4.3 yards per rush.

Wide-out Keiwone Malone was the number 2 receiver last year and caught, 476 yards and 3 touchdowns equaling the team lead in tds.

They are also returning 6 seniors on the defensive front.

This season's schedule does not seem to favor the Tigers.

A recap of the latest releases
124. New Mexico State
125. Georgia State

124 New Mexico State Aggies

The next team on my list in reverse order is the New Mexico State Aggies.
The Aggies have switched conferences to the Division 1 Independents after the Western Athletic Conference defaulted its football program.

The Aggies have a semi tough schedule this season opening up with Texas then playing 5 other teams who also made bowls last season.

Their only victory last year was against Sacramento State to open the season, then they dropped all of their remaining games by an average of a little more than 24 points, with one loss by 8.

They are weak in the passing game, with their combined quarterbacks passing for less than 100 yards last season. They are returning their leading rusher, senior Germi Morrison, who rushed for 767 yards, two touchdowns and 4.8 yards per carry. In the receiving core, their star player from last year, junior Austin Franklin, caught 74 passes for 1,245 yards, nine touchdowns and caught almost half of the teams total yards and touchdowns last year. With the inexperience in the quarterback slot this is their key player to keep them winning.

On defense they are returning 18 seniors.

125 Georgia State Panthers

The Georgia State Panthers will make their NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision debut this season when they join the Sun Belt Conference.

The Panthers finished last season in the Football Championship Series with a 1-11 record beating only Rhode Island. They had two games against division one teams. Tennessee and Texas-San Antonio.

Here is their schedule and my predicted results. Please note due to transfer rules they are ineligible for bowls this season.

The Panthers have 29 seniors on the team this year.

Its Football Time In Tennessee!

After months of off-time and changes to the landscape, NCAA Football returns August 29.
The Rose Bowl is the site of the National Championship Game this season.

Several conferences have either lost or gained new faces and one conference, the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), has dissolved completely.

The newest team to join the Bowl Subdivision is the Georgia State Panthers.

The Panthers along with Texas State Bobcats, former WAC school, join  the now dwindling Sun Belt Conference.

The Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders, Florida Atlantic Owls, Florida International Panthers, and North Texas Mean Green left the Sun Bel and accepted invitations from Conference USA along with former WAC member Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners.

Conference USA divisions are now East featuring: East Carolina Pirates, the Owls, Partners, Marshall Thundering Herd, Blue Raiders, Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, and Alabama-Birmingham Blazers. The West features: Bulldogs, Mean Green, Rice Owls, Tulane Green Wave, Tulsa Golden Hurricane, Texas-El Paso Miners, and the Roadrunners.

The Utah State Aggies left the WAC and joined the Mountain West Conference giving them 12 teams and splitting the conference into two divisions.

The Mountain Division features: Air Force Falcons, Boise State Broncos, Colorado State Rams, New Mexico Lobos, the Aggies, and Wyoming Cowboys. The West includes: Fresno State Bulldogs, Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, Nevada Wolfpack, UNLV Runnin' Rebels, San Diego State Aztecs, and San Jose State Spartans.

The remaining two former WAC members, Idaho Vandals, and New Mexico State Aggies, became Independents.

The ACC gained two members both from the American Athletic Conference, formerly Big East.

The Pittsburgh Panthers join the Coastal and Syracuse Orange to the Atlantic.

The American Athletic picked up several CUSA members including: Houston Cougars, Memphis Tigers, Southern Methodist University Mustangs, and Central Florida Golden Knights.

125 Teams in the FBS and over the next 2 months I will release my predictions 2 every day starting today.
