The annual football predictions this season come with the usual excitement mixed with a heavy dose of intrigue and sadness.

But enough of that for now. There's teams and games to follow and enjoy over the coming three months.So much newness for this program creates a whole bunch of unknowns going into its first season in the Big 12.

In breaking down the schedule, bowl eligibility would demand a 2-0 start against Sam Houston State and Southern Utah, respectively, along with a split of the first two conference games at Kansas and at home the following week against Cincinnati
A healthy Rising goes a long way toward the Utes reaching all their goals, which include a third conference championship and a playoff appearance. Tight end Brant Kuithe also needs a return to form after suffering a season-ending injury last September.
