Buffs pull off a shocker to beat the Ducks, then the rest of the season is cancelled

Yeah but past performance has nothing to do with what happens this year. If this team can’t compete and beat Arizona, they may go 0-10. I am mostly projecting for the best case.

Possible with Arizona, UCLA, Oregon St and Wash St. But I'm still more with the 0-0 crowd with that schedule. Maybe they can reschedule in the new year if a viable vaccine is available.
Steven Montez and the 2016 Buffs did just fine opening conference play on the road in Engue.
Perhaps the coming out party for Lewis at QB assuming he wins the starting gig. Only tape the Ducks would have on him is his HS videos.
That would make sense. I would stay completely away from this team in any betting format. I don’t think this team will be good at all and think 2-3 wins is probably the max. However, the defense could easily be top half of the conference if they stay healthy at the backend of the defense. If that happens, I suppose I could see a small chance at 4-5 wins.
The schedule setup is actually really bad IMO. We’ll be playing all of the much more talented and physical teams in the top half of the schedule. Given our preexisting depth concerns and lack of football shape conditioning from spring and a limited fall camp, I am worried about sufficient front line player availability during the second half of the scheule.

Agree if we get beat up with either COVID or injuries. If we get through the first four games healthy, the last six set us up to string some wins together. We've beaten Arizona State two years in a row. UCLA's a dumpster fire. Oregon State's a work in progress under Smith, and they're coming here. Washington State's in year one with Rolovich (who is trying to change the offense up there without an offseason to install it), and they're here too.
We have significant depth problems. I think you overestimate our team’s quality compared to teams like ASU or UCLA. We are not good.

I see your line of thinking and wouldn't be shocked at all if it turned out to be correct. I think this conference as a whole is fairly overrated, and if we were playing a normal season this year-would not have a team sniff the CFP. Still, my big thing with where we are is this-This is a year 0 for Karl Dorrell between the circumstances around Tucker's departure and COVID-19. I just don't see 0-10 or 1-9 happening because I think the teams we're scheduled to play outside of Oregon are very flawed too.

Why you only go 5? I want 25 of this.

Yep.
I would think RG would be pissed as well. 3 of the first 4 on the road and if any games actually get played, you probably will only get 1 Buff home game before this thing gets shut down
Pass the bong.
I haven’t seen any memo to that effect.

Utah had 7 draft picks and Oregon lost Herbert. I predict doom for them and glory for us.
Except that they haven't really offered it yet. The only communication I have from that is that they intended to offer those options and that was back in May or thereabouts. We still haven't heard the official plan for the season and they certainly have not called about it.
I am leaning that way also. I would love to go and make this the 26th year in a row that I have been in attendance at multiple games as a season ticket holder (4 as a student) but I am wary of attending any big gathering at this point as the wife and I are both high risk for adverse outcomes and with the more compacted schedule for school around here, it just seems best for us to opt out as well.
Yep. My reasoning as well.
I think it is wrong that they want us to commit now, when there are so many unknowns. They want us decide by Aug. 14, while they still want more time and options for themselves for a mid-Sept. game and develop plans for safeguards in an unknown environment. Why can't we see what's going on, along with them. If it's a matter of printing and allocating tickets and seats, that can be electronically. Be better to first survey the fans and ticket holders to gauge what the interest is before commitments and scenario.
They have to know who wants to be there in person so they have plenty of time to figure out which rich people will be the least pissed off to get moved to the second level of Folsom.
They only want fans who want to be Buff fans!
