Those teams looking to move up in 2015:
UCLA w/18 returning starters, excellent recruiting classes last 2 yrs and stout "D" coming back upfront.
Miss St w/7 starters returning? Ay carumba!! I don't think they duplicate 2014's successful year, at least not on paper right now.
Georgia w/11 starters returning? Going to miss Gurley but Chubb is a tough nut! The "D" needs some improvement and losing Bobo may hurt some, but I'm sure Richt will conjure up another 8 win season.
Boise St w/17 returning starters? Some key players may not be back however. RB Ajayi could be a top 2-3 round guy if he comes out.
Baylor 17 returning starters back and strong defensive front coming back for the most part, should be improved.
Notre Dame w/19 returning starters and I liked their young QB who replaced fumble-fingers towards the end of the year and in their Bowl game. Young "D" should be much improved. Possible 10 win season ahead.
Michigan will have at least 16 returning starters but they'll have to fight for their jobs and you know Harbaugh will bring in some talent, possible 4 yr transfer talent as well. Wolverines possibly could win 8-9 games in Harbaugh's first year. Minimal!
TCU w/only 15 returning starters but have some excellent reserves and a stellar recruiting class possibly coming in with National signing date still a ways away.
Ole Miss w/17 returning starters and will replace Wallace at QB which won't be tough to do after his last few starts he proved he's pretty inconsistent. "D" should be improved as well.
California w/18 returning starters and system in it's 3rd year in place should be improved and perhaps trip up Stanford and UCLA in 2015.
L'ville w/11 starters returning? Petrino will find some talent from some hillybilly farm or biker joints somewhere I'm sure, but he'll be hard pressed after their poor bowl game showing. :142smilie
Off-season will be interesting as many commits that are always verbal until official signing date could end up elsewhere after verbally committing early in 2013 or 2014.
Under Armour game had some very solid players as did the Army sponsored high school event as well.
