Revised Win Predictions after OOC.

New Hampshire is a win so I wanted to see how people were feeling going into conference play after seeing the first two games and what the rest of the Pac-12 did.

UCLA: 17 point win
ASU: 7 point win
USC: 10 point loss
Washington: 24 point loss
OSU: 24 point win
Arizona: 10 point win
Washington State: 14 point win
Utah: 10 point loss
Cal: 14 point win

That puts us as 9-3 with the possibility of getting 10 wins with the bowl game which would be amazing.
 
Give it one more week and it becomes more clearer. USC & Utah as losses? That's debatable.

USC is still on the road so I haven't changed that one yet and we usually don't play well at the Coliseum. Utah still has some dudes in the trenches so that could expose us a little bit.
 
Today's prediction is brought to you by the number 10. I see 10 wins. Count them. We will beat Utah in Boulder. 11 wins for the season if you count our bowl game. Book it!
 
Seven win floor and nine win ceiling. Maybe ten if they are lights out for one of the tougher teams.
 
There are always a couple of should wins that we drop

Of your wins, Cal on the road and ASU at home seem more like toss ups to me

Cal's offense looks down right terrible and that is a pretty sterile environment on the road. I honestly Utah and USC are sort of toss ups too but I chose to drop those ones just based on the past and their personnel. ASU definitely seems like more of a toss up to me as well but we should have a pretty good home field advantage there.
 
Here's the way I see this season right now-I see 7 or 8 wins with a Sun or Holiday type of bowl game right now. These next three at home are about getting to USC unscathed. If we go into the Coliseum at 5-0 and leave with a win, we can talk about bigger than that.

Cal has a defense though and might be playing for a lot more than we are in that game.

As to that ASU game, I think it's looking better for us. I've read a lot about our "adjustments" after halftime. I think the biggest adjustment was the corn defense being gassed in the fourth quarter. I expect more of the same against ASU, especially at altitude. If we stay close, we'll win it in the fourth.

When Chev says pace, he means it.
 
There's a big time gap between games, but I don't see us beating ASU at home and then losing to Utah at home.
 
I originally said 4, but see the currently composed team vs our sheduled opponents as an 8-9 win team before any post-season. The more Montez can be composed and the composition of the OL improves (saw immediate gains last saturday via injury subs) that number rises.

I feel better about Utah than I did before the season but less good about ASU.

I watched ASU for a while. It was 103 degrees down there which I think affected MSU more than you think. That said, ASU's front 7 is solid. They have a DT (#95) that I think is a legit NFL guy who we will have to plan for and their front 7 is really good and physical. We will need to protect against them and get the ball out of Montez' hands earlier.
 
Still undefeated. Much later and wine is much stronger here in Portugal. Still don’t have the heart to tell the Mrs. her alma mater lost to asu ...

Utah typically gets better and better as the year goes on because they are so physical. Also, the home field advantage isn't as big because they already play at altitude. Utah just seems to be a big matchup issue for us right now and until we see the o line come together that will be exposed against them.

I’ve watched them some each of the past two weeks. Playing technically sound, solid football so far. Before the season I thought of them as almost a sure win. Now, I’d say 50/50, maybe slightly better.

That guy destroyed MSU's center on more than a few occasions off the snap.

I think Herm may be a much better coach than we give him credit for. Those kids are really flying around for him.

I wasn’t sure how he’d adjust to coaching college, but I admit I can definitely see his personality working in recruiting and in game day approach and emotion.
