Buffs W/L Season Predictions
- Thread starter BatBuff
- Start date
I think we win comfortably, but would it really shock you if the secondary gave up some plays? It is the one vulnerability I see for CU in the game.
Obviously their QB is going to complete some passes to their receivers and their offense will score a few TDs. I still hope and somewhat expect our Secondary to be significantly better than their receivers, though.

Protect your QB and open up running lanes. Or don’t, and lose.

Hoping for 59-10 (don't see how our offense doesn't drop 50 on them) but this could be a 59-24 type of game.
Always BUFF
I post stupid ****
5-0 again...finishing 8-4
There's no film on the Buffs and I don't believe for a second that Mel & company are going to show our hand before conference.
In 16 Oregon was "the" win, until the Buffs can go toe up with Udub or SC there's no identity to build on.
I don't have 40 more years..I don't want to see knu chapter 2 which is exactly where CU & USC are heading.
I believe it's a good thing when the HC decides who the captains are and further the unis game to game. If anyone knows who's performing in practice it would be him.

Alright, who’s the smart ass that voted for 11-12 wins?
Not me, but there are only two games on the schedule that I think we probably have no chance of winning - Oregon and Washington. Everybody else has enough question marks (I am not a Utah believer, especially after what I saw last night) that you can't rule out a CU win on that particular day.
If someone wants to say that we somehow put together a magical season and win all of those "winnable" games, then win a bowl game, I guess 11-3 is not entirely delusional. Just overly optimistic, lol. (I'm counting another loss to UW or UO in the Pac-12 CCG if 2016 was to repeat itself).
Having said that, here I think we go:
CSU - win and should win big - W
Nebraska - ugh, I don't want to say this but I think our lack of defensive depth shows and they wear us down late - L
Air force - should bounce back and win big - W
at ASU - first road games are tough - L
Arizona - LOLcats - W
at Oregon - defensive issues again - L
at WSU - see above - L
USC - this is the decisive game of the year - W
at UCLA - they're a hot mess, likely to get hotter and messier - W
Stanford - gotta have this one to avoid having to win one of the last two - W
Washington - depth might really be an issue after the last 5 games - L
at Utah - I don't think Utah will be playing for the CFP at this point, but they might be playing for the division - L
I could see us winning a couple that I've chalked up as losses, such as the Nubs and ASU, but we can definitely lose a couple I think we should win, such as USC, UCLA or Stanford.

Whether you truly believe they lose to Nebraska or not, predicting a loss in preseason prediction threads should be punishable by ban

After watching some of the early Pac-12 games, I'll say 7-5. There's no one on our schedule we should be scared of. Are we going to win at Oregon or Utah? Probably not. But everything else is winnable.

After last night, I am not sold on Utah. It was just one game and obviously the first, but I don't know that it is an automatic loss.

This. Plus staring in the next 2 girls 1 cup video.
A really good defense and questionable offense only gets you so far. Can't rush to judgement on their offense yet, but Huntley is who he is, which is a very mediocre QB who isn't going to beat teams with his arm on a consistent basis. They will need their running game to carry them through the season, and as soon as they face a team with a good enough defense, and better offense, they're probably sunk.
Eh, I look at them and still imo see a 10 win possibly 11 win team simply because of the defense. I think the offense with a year older Moss will be just good enough to win a lot of games only scoring 28-31 points. I don't think that defense is going to give up much and that D-line really is unreal. I don't think they can win the Pac12 championship against a Washington or Oregon though unless Huntley steps up.

Good points on UW and UO. I wonder where prognosticators would put their record if they played in the PAC12 North instead of South?

8-4 is a pretty safe bet.
