Interesting article this morning on ESPN. http://espn.go.com/college-football...iggest-surprises-2015-college-football-season
Not to spoil the spirit of preseason watch lists, polls, all-conference teams or even the AP Top 25, but the stories that have dominated the sport over the past half decade are ones that none of us saw coming.
2010: No one saw Auburn coming.
2011: No one saw RG III coming ... or Oklahoma going.
2012: No one saw Johnny Football coming ... or Notre Dame ... or Lennay Kekua.
2013: No one saw Auburn coming ... again ... or the guy who beat it, Famous Jameis.
2014: No one saw Ohio State coming ... or its College Football Playoff-winning quarterback(s).
So, over the past couple of weeks, as the season-opening South Carolina-North Carolina game (finally) drew closer, I polled college football folks throughout ESPN, and a few beyond our walls, with one simple question: What's the one thing we don't see coming that's definitely coming in 2015?
It was a decent article but wanted to bring the topic here for the Lair to chew on...what are some items you see occurring this year in CFB that no one expects? Wouldn't it be awesome if Pitt was a part of that story line for 2015? H2P!
