The Syracuse Orange finished the regular season with a 9-3 record in college football. Syracuse showed a lot of improvements this season under head coach Fran Brown. The Orange were also very good this season because of quarterback Kyle McCord.

Another team that had a surprise season in college football was the Washington State Cougars of the Pac-12 Conference, who finished the regular season with an 8-4 record.
