UCF KNIGHTS (+6500)
247Sports projected final record: 5-7, 2-7
A reunion between UCF and head coach Scott Frost could be the right move for both sides. While the Knights face a major roster overhaul in 2024, the transfer portal provides Frost with an opportunity to rebuild more effectively than he did at Nebraska.
OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS (+3000)
247Sports projected final record: 6-6, 4-5
It is hard to believe Oklahoma State is a little more than a year removed from its second Big 12 title game appearance in three seasons. However, a winless Big 12 record in 2024 underscores the challenges ahead for the Pokes to return to that conversation.
WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS (+3000)
247Sports projected final record: 6-6, 3-6
The buzz is back in Morgantown with the return of Rich Rodriguez as head coach. West Virginia thrived under his leadership in the early 2000s but has struggled to recapture that success in the years since.
