Vote: Perhaps to disappoint in 2012

It is Thursday, in order that manner it's time in your weekly ballot query. As of late I ask:

Which crew is in all probability to disappoint in 2012?

Here are your choices:

Louisville. The Cardinals will have 15 returning starters, however most effective 4 of them are seniors. This nonetheless is a very, very younger workforce led by a real sophomore quarterback in Teddy Bridgewater. It would take every other 12 months of maturing prior to the Cardinals win all of it. Consider the schedule, with back-to-back video games towards USF and Cincinnati, and the season finale at Rutgers, and there's a likelihood they fall in need of expectations.

Pitt. Given the vote from a couple of weeks ago, lots of you're thinking that the Panthers have the potential of bizarre this season. How approximately disappointing? I ASSUME all of it is determined by the place the bar is about for Pitt, which went 6-7 a yr in the past. There are such a large amount of unknowns approximately this staff at the moment it's laborious to mention which means the Panthers will cross. If Tino Sunseri does not get better, if Ray Graham does not go back to form, and if a tender safeguard can not in finding its identity, there might be problems.

Rutgers. Many consider this is able to be the 12 months Rutgers wins its first Massive East championship. The Scarlet Knights do go back 15 starters, together with just about each participant at the absolute best safeguard within the league from a yr in the past. However there are lots of unknowns at the moment -- how is Kyle Flood going to fare as a head instruct? What occurs at quarterback? Which receiver emerges? Which working again emerges? How a lot better will the offensive line be?

USF. Many imagine this might be the 12 months USF wins its first Massive East championship. Wait. I sound like a damaged document. The Bulls go back a lot of senior starters to a 5-7 staff that underachieved a yr in the past. Groups with huge senior categories and skilled starters are inclined to do smartly. However that is USF. One thing all the time is going improper for USF. Is that this the yr while the whole lot in spite of everything is going right?

Other. Write on your personal candidates, and allow the controversy begin.
