Here are my thoughts on which teams I think will do well next season. I had a formula put together that compared the players on each team by OVR. It's not 100% perfect, but it should give us a glimpse on how certain teams may do next season.

Notes:

• Best conference appears to be the Missouri Valley Football Conference, followed by the Patriot League and then Big Sky Conference
  
• The best #1 ranked teams in each conference are #1 Northern Iowa, #8 Georgetown, #13 Cal Poly, #26 East Tennessee, #33 Prairie View A&M, and #36 Harvard.
  
• The MVFC is going to be a bloodbath.
