Isn't that your standard pre-season pick??? Everybody gets wildly better and CU sucks and doesn't improve an iota, irrespectively??? (weren't you a YUUGE Jimmy Lake fan??)
Just get a new schtick! Your old one plain sucks!
4+, however the ball bounces! Cal, Az and ASU ain't exactly setting the world on fire and TCU (Peterson didn't quit because he was THIS CLOSE to an invite to the Big Four), & UM lost some very good SRs and AFA lost a lot of coaches and their QB; not an automatic W for them.
“Hopefully more than 2 wins! I’ll say 7!!”
Brian will jump on more grenades for Dorrell than the team will have wins. That’s one guaranteed outcome
Hard to predict without knowing what the QB situation will be and whether the dismissal of coach blocking sled will produce positive results. If all falls just right (which it rarely does), this could be A 6 or 7 win team. That would require winning 3-4 games we have no business winning. Likely wins include Arizona and, um, well, I guess just Arizona. Theres a lot of toss ups that could be decided by special teams play, turnovers, opposing team injuries to key players and general coaching idiocy. These include TCU, Cal, UCLA, Air Force, ASU and OSU. Then there are the games where weird **** just might happen. Those are UW, UU, and Minnesota. No hopers against USC and Oregon. Best guess for me is 4 wins and a lot of excuses about the team being young.
Whenever I need comedic relief…

The only toss ups this season are TCU, AFA, AZ, OSU, and Cal. If they get to 3 wins, they’ll come from that group. If the ball bounces right and they get extremely lucky with injuries/coaching effects/competition is crap they might get to....wait for it...5 wins. The rest? Fuhgettaboutit.

If they fail to win a game before conference play starts, they’re in big trouble. If you’ve got a win or two already then you’re just another easy/winnable game on the schedule (or maybe somebody’s trap game), but if you’re an 0-fer squad then you’re getting the very best shot from every team desperate for a win and a more focused approach from every good team who doesn’t want to be the team that lost to your potentially historically notable suckiness.
The season better damn well be underway right now. Lots for that staff to do. Clearly the current players need to get stronger and faster. And need to get integrated into new system.
1 win. Arizona.
Nope, used to be one of the biggest homers for CU and always had them bowling preseason. That isn’t going to happen. At this point, they may be the dog in all but 1 game next year. The staff is horrible. Talent for a not improving and definitely not improving vs the conference. Why would anyone be optimistic with this program? Where is the hope?
No, I'm not going to bet real money with a stranger against my Buffs. I thought it was for a beer!
. (but I could see 0-12).
If you aren't a fan of one of the schools how desperate for football do you have to be to want to watch that game.
That has the potential to be one of the worst exhibitions of "football" in the entire country.
Yeah, I am in the 2-4 range for same reasons. CU mucking it up and the other team doing something boneheaded will likely give the Buffs an undeserved win or two.
Probably 3.
In before “NW always loses at the beaver game.”
And husky and duck. I have yet to see the Buffs win in person up here.
You just catch football games or basketball too?
I’ve taken my daughter to a few volleyball games but never made it to a basketball game.
I predict:
Shrout wins the QB battle
They set the O/U at 3.5, I bet the under = Profit
The Buffs win game 1, enthusiasm sky rockets
I bet the opponents and lay the points each week =Profit
Lewis replaces Shrout at some point
All of us are already talking Tad Ball by Oct 1

You forgot the “this team is young” excuses that will be flowing like cheap wine at a gypsy bachelorette party.

5-6 wins. a few humiliating losses. Even some of the wins are humiliating, like Washington last year.
We suck, but we don't strategize in a risky way. We will win some games just based on other opponents being **** and making key mistakes.

No way the team we have today wins 5 - 6. Being in a dozen or so Big 5 starters via transfer portal and we can talk about winning more than 1 - 2. This current team would be below 500 in MW conference.
