Here are your “Hot or Not” lists for teams that could be available in later rounds.

Not

Ole Miss – PFU Rank 45

The Rebels’ schedule does not set up for success this season, being away from home playing Vanderbilt, Texas, Alabama and Auburn in four of their first five games.

Utah State – PFU Rank 52

The Aggies had 11 wins last season, but a mix of moving to the Mountain West Conference and a new head coach makes this a drastically different team.

Southern Miss – PFU Rank 69

Looks like the Golden Eagles will start the season 1-3, which is an improvement on last years record of 0-12.

Hot

Pitt – PFU Rank 92

Look for Pitt to come into the ACC ready to compete. The Panthers will get their chance to make some early noise opening up at home against Florida State.

Washington – PFU Rank 48

QB Keith Price got better as the 2012 season progressed and looks for that to carry over to 2013.

Arizona – PFU Rank 55

Easy non-conference schedule will acquire wins and a bowl bid for the Wildcats.
