Obviously Miami.

A few teams I think that could surprise people are listed by conference.

ACC
Maryland
Syracuse
UVA
Miami
North Carolina

Big 12
Kansas


B1G
Michigan State
Iowa

Pac12
Cal
Washington

SEC
Missouri
Auburn

Who are your sleeper teams for the Season. I mean breakout seasons.

Media and reality are two different things. Most people still don't expect Miami to win 10+ games except canes fans.
I do not know if you read the OP. It CLEARLY states sleeper team as having a breakout season that maybe they didn't have last year. Top 25 teams are not sleepers. They are expected to do well obviously. Yes any team can breakout.

I was just wondering if the board had any particular teams that they think could shock people this year.

Age Limit? The only age people should be concerned about is yours. You trying to sneak diss on a board (I'm under the assumption that you are an adult) is a shame. I don't get why you post if a thread doesn't interest you. It's simple. Maybe it's for likes or some internet rep to make you seem "cool" to your message board buddies. Don't like a topic? Don't click it. What is so hard about that?
 
I got Bama as my sleeper team. What have they done since January? Not a cot **** thing.

At what age does a grown man stop using the phrase 'OMG'?

Anyone ever been to Maryland or Virginia for a game?

Hows the game day atmosphere?

I arrived at last year's UVA game right as the ball kicked off, so not sure of the tailgating pregame atmosphere but the stadium is nice.

Some good bars and fine talent at night.

ACC
Virginia Tech- Defense, defense, defense

B1G
Northwestern- They did have 10 wins last year, but does anyone know that?

Big 12
Baylor- If there's any bit of a defense, this Seastrunk guy is that good.

Pac 12
Arizona State- Don't know much about them but a solid season last year and a killer defensive line coming back.

SEC
Ole Miss- 7 wins last year, and a **** load of impact freshman at key positions.

ACC
Maryland (can see it)
Syracuse (lost top qb so no)
UVA (6-6/7-5 and will upset a good team)
Miami
North Carolina (always talented but wouldn't refer to them as a sleeper)

Big 12
Kansas (Charlie Weis so **** no)

B1G
Michigan State (always tough so yes)
Iowa (don't see it)

Pac12
Cal (first year coach and loss of Allen so don't see it)
Washington (yes for sure)

SEC
Missouri (bottom feeder of conference)
Auburn (not this year but mahlzahn is an upgrade from chizik)

Louisville, they play an embarrassment of a schedule, they won't be beaten IMO and will ride the polls based on an early ranking from last years bowl win.
 
My apologies for stating that Miami will not considered a sleeper and team and writing OMG ( yes 49 ) so I should know better....

I will just sit back and enjoy the thread.

Besides the U of course...

UNC
Washington
Virginia Tech
Vandy

Those teams can make some noise this year. Vandy is upsetting a heavy hitter in the SEC this year, at least one.
