Over or under?

Las Vegas oddsmakers have projected victory totals for every team in major college football from Clemson to Kansas.

On the latest AP College Football Top 25 Podcast, Chris Fallica of ESPN — aka The Bear from “College GameDay” — joins the AP's Ralph Russo to give his early plays on what teams will exceed their projections or fall short.

Fallica is optimistic about a Big Ten team that had a disappointing 2019 and pessimistic about at least one Big 12 team that hasn't been to a bowl in a while.

The Bear gives at least one lean in every FBS conference.

Also, Fallica discusses how he helps “GameDay” producers get a jump on where the show might be headed in the upcoming season.
