You actually have a pretty good cut at it there. I could probably argue a win or two another way or flip flopping a team or two, but all in all pretty good starting point.

Heres what I see for the Bears:
1. 3 guaranteed losses - no chance for the bears (@ Hawaii, @ Cal Poly, @ Montana)
2. 3 probable losses - a win in any of these games is a big upset (@ NAU, @ EWU, vs. PSU)
3. 3 toss up games where the edge goes to the other team (@ SD, @ ISU, vs. MSU)
4. 3 very winnable games (vs. CSC, vs. WSU, vs. Sac)

An incredible season would be 6-6. More likely 3-4 wins. I'll predict 2-6 in the conference (but am hoping for 3-5).

After going through it all I noticed there is a very good chance Sac State doesn't win at all this year, and your right I'm going off of all hype when it comes to WSU, you guys may just beat them, if you do that, you slip into a tie for 7th or 6th. And another one on all hype is EWU, if they don't meet expectations they could fall back further. Remember they lost to DII Central Washington, if you lose to CWU thats a sign of a bad football team so....who knows?

I pretty much agree with with uncfootballrules, a 6-6 season would be a miricle, a 3-9 season is realistic, and another 1-11 season would be a total disaster, and signal deep problems within the program.

You guys play 12 games this year? Is that allowed?

An extra game is granted to anyone making the trip to Hawaii, per NCAA regs.

I think 3 wins would be about right looking at things optimistically. Anything more than that and I'm buying shots. Anything less and... well, hopefully they can win 2.

I can see us getting 4 wins. I want to know if this team will play well at home once again. Last year we were just plain aweful at home and we seemed to play better on the road (with the exception of the PSU game). Nottingham used to be a place where it was a shoe-in victory most of the time. I want us to get there again.
