2017 Football Schedule

I love that ASU should be absolutely beaten up when CU visits (and maybe bowl ineligible).

They got unlucky drawing Oregon, Stanford, and Stanford.

One other thing I find a little strange: the Stanford-Washington game is scheduled on a Friday night in November. That game could potentially be for the Pac-12 North and the conference relegated it to a Friday night? I do not understand that move at all.
 
Texas State and Northern Colorado in the same season back to back weeks.

Is it too soon to predict 28k in attendance for each game?

Yes.

If kickoff is at a decent time, I bet those games will be fairly well attended. If kickoff is at 7pm then no way.
 
I think the schedule looks pretty favorable. Our two likely/certain losses against UW and USC are both at home, so maybe we can steal one. UCLA will be interesting next year, if Mora can't figure out how to win games with a borderline #1 overall QB and a pretty monster defense, homeslice isn't cut out for the head coach job.

We do have a pretty pathetic OOC schedule so if we do make a run at a playoff spot or something that'll probably hurt us.
 
I see another 10-2. Only L should be UW and USC. USC we got a chance.

Wont have as high as a ranking though, much easier schedule this year than last. Unless we upset a good USC team at the end to leapfrog.

Sorry didn't catch the sarcasm font. Have we ever gone undefeated on the road?

OSU 47-6 ASU 40-16 WSU 38-24 UCLA 20-10 Utah; 27-22. Hardest one will be UCLA but we should be alright considering how crappy we played that game.
 
Everything is setting up nicely for an upset of UW. They had several key players declare early, their non-conference schedule is pathetic, and the game's at home. We'll learn a lot about our team against CSU, and then have 2 games to iron out the issues prior to neutering the huskies.

Oh, and you guys want to hire a big boy DC next time? Then attend the ****ing non-conference games so we don't get outbid again.
 
Man, I hope I'm wrong, but I think we will be around 6 wins, including the 3 OOC games. I don't see us beating USC or Washington at home. I think all our road games except ASU are going to be really tough. Color me worried. But that's the way I roll, I guess.

The road schedule is about as favorable as it gets in a P5 conference. Significantly easier than 2016.
 
Our road schedule last year included USC, Stanford, Oregon, and UofA. That schedule was way more difficult than the one coming up.
 
Very manageable road schedule. Couple tough home games but i like that UW/USC are split up. SC could be playing in the snow which will benefit us.

It's my hope that we manage 8 wins.

We should go 3-0 to start. 3 solid warm up games for a new QB under center should help.

I'd like to see us split UW at home, UCLA at Rose Bowl. Those could be a couple of challenging conference games to start.

We should be able to handedly win UA/@OSU.

That would leave us at 6-1 and bowl eligible with @ WSU, Cal, @ ASU, USC, @ Utah coming down the stretch. We should be able to pick up two there.

Would be awesome if we could pull more than that. Holiday would be my floor expectation. A goal would be to knock off one of either USC or UW. That would really say the program is heading in the right direction.
 
Way too early for this, but the expectation is probably between 4 and 9 wins on the bell curve of reasonably likely low & high for 2017's regular season. Which puts the O/U at 6.5. As you all know, I skew to positivity (probably too much), and where I'm at is that my number is 8 for feeling like it was an excellent season. Bowl eligibility with 6 or 7 wins would be a good season that keeps the momentum going on The Rise.
 
Fingers crossed the UW game is an afternoon kickoff. Hoping it will be my daughter's first football game. Night game would seriously suck with a 3 year old.

Agree. But I have a feeling OSU and UCLA will be improved. Hey, I suck at prognosticating this stuff. Probably for a reason.

I could see winning or losing every game on the road schedule, which probably means 2-3 wins is reasonable. It is just not a rough road schedule, next year will be.
 
The late by week really sucks. But oh well - it'll be fun.

It'll also be odd rooting against my Bears for that one game in late October. But Go Buffs.
