No. 48: Duke
Coach: David Cutcliffe
2015 record: 8-5
Projected 2016 record: 8-4
Circle the date: Sept. 24 at Notre Dame
Bowl trip: Quick Lane
Why No. 48: Mark this one down as a vote for Cutcliffe’s coaching. Do you think Mississippi would like a do-over? The school fired a guy who earned four bowl bids in six years and finished 15 games over .500 with the Rebels. A great offensive mind, Cutcliffe is squeaky clean, a quality lacking in Oxford these days.
