Great Moments in Predictions: On the eve of the college football season, The New York Times projected the exact finish of all 120 Division I teams. The paper had Texas Tech 13th, Penn State 18th, Alabama 25th, Cincinnati 28th, TCU 33rd, Northwestern 60th, Buffalo 88th and Vanderbilt 93rd. The paper forecast that "no one will be able to stop Tulsa" (Arkansas, East Carolina and Houston were able to) and that new coach June Jones "will transform SMU into a conference contender in no time." The Mustangs finished 1-11.
