The new format has melted your brain.
 
Season record: 7-6
Best chance for an upset: Utah
Best offensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): Spruce
Best defensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): Thompson
Breakout player: Eddy Lopez
Most disappointing player: Ross (the off-season hype does not come to fruition, he flashes but has less than 15 catches)
Bold prediction: Our Offense finishes top 15 in the country
 
Season record: 8-6 (with bowl win)
Best chance for an upset: Stanford
Best offensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): Nelson Spruce
Best defensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): Derek McCartney
Breakout player: Patrick Carr
Most disappointing player: I really like the guy, but it's Gillam. Hope I'm wrong.
Bold prediction: Spruce wins Biletnikoff
 
Season record: 5-8
Best chance for an upset: Since the Buffs will be dogs in all the PAC-12 games, at Oregon State and at Washington State
Best offensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): Nembot
Best defensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): McCartney (massive improvement coming)
Breakout player: Patrick Carr
Most disappointing player: C. Powell
Bold prediction: 2 PAC victories

Time to admit I was wrong. Clearly Nembot is not going to be the best offensive player. In fact he looks to have regressed to his 2013 self. Five wins is still possible as I thought a loss to Hawaii would happen, I just didn't think the team would look SO bad (From coaching right on down it was mostly negative after week 1). Looking more like between 1-12 and 3-10 now. That being said, my McCartney pick is looking solid as is my most disappointing pick.

SerenityBuff said:
The first day of the draft is just the first round now. Hard to believe both of them go first round. Maybe under the old format where the first day was rounds 1-3.

Nembot will be a first day selection after scouts see him in person. Freaky athletic, improvement every year, and no character concerns. People are gonna love what they see at the combine or pro day and he'll shoot up boards.

Season record: 7-6
Best chance for an upset: Arizona
Best offensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): Spruce
Best defensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): Thompson
Breakout player: Eddy Lopez

Season record: 8-6 w/ bowl win over Kansas State in the Cactus Bowl
Best chance for an upset: Arizona

Best defensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): Thompson and Crawley
Breakout player: Awini
Most disappointing player: Adkins
Bold prediction: Our offense will be top 40 in SCORING at 33 pts/game.

If Nembot has a good year, it's easy to see him going in the 1st round with the physical tools he possesses. Even if Spruce has a solid year again, I think he's a stretch for the 1st round solely because I don't think he has the top end speed that scouts want in a 1st round WR. Maybe he shows out at the Combine and opens some eyes, though. Either way, that's why it's a bold prediction.
 
7-6 w/ 2 road conference Ws & steal a home
Best offensive player: Spruce & Nembot both earn 1st Team
Best defensive player: Tedric Thompson
Breakout: Bobo
Disappointing: Any RB not named Carr
Bold: Buffs win bowl game and we land a fringe 5-star recruit.
 
Season record 6-7
Best chance for upset: Stanford
Best offensive player: Nembot
Best defensive player: Crawley
Breakout player: Jimmie Gilbert
Disappointing player: Gillam
Bold predictions: we lose 1 OOC game, but beat Stanford at home. Nembot goes in the top 10 of next year's draft. Lindgren gets a G5 head coaching gig after the season.

Nembot is Nate S., and scouts will see that. Spruce is going to prove himself, and carry too much of our offense with style and grace! It will happen!
