They’re all winnable, but we need to go 6-1 that stretch which seems sort of unlikely.

I think we drop games against Weber St, Montana, and potentially Sac St.
 
4-3 or 3-4 seem like the most realistic results. That said the only two games I don't see us having much of a chance in are @ Weber and @ Montana.

I'll take wins over Poly, PSU, Idaho, and UNC.
 
just got home...put 555 miles in today...turned on tv and swx has 2018 game ewu vs central...seems to help the pain of this wicked ass schedule and remaining games coming up. idaho and psu even look good so cautiously optimistic we get lucky and go 5-2...lucky key word here.

It's hard to predict, but man, it feels awful being a one-win team at this stage of the season.

I have to think we will reconsider the 4-2 defense. We just aren't physical enough to stop the run in that set-up. The funny thing is we can't cover all that well with 5 DBs anyway, so maybe we just use 4? If a team beats us deep, so be it, at least the defense gets off the field. I suspect we'll see the status quo for one more week with just a few changes, but if we fall to 1-4, I suspect it becomes time to completely change the script. Looking at the schedule, both Weber and Sac St are pretty darn good. It's conceivable to be 1-5 going into Cal Poly. Based on the way we've played thus far, that might be the next team we can beat playing the way we are.

And that, Gentlemen, is why you don't travel to two Power 5 schools in September. You accumulate losses and you don't get a chance to improve in your weaker areas.

It is easy to criticize everything but I've not seen your solution to replace that approx 1 million in revenue.

The formula is the same as it always is... one Power 5 team, fine. Two, bad. Scheduling two makes reaching any goals for the season incredibly difficult.

We were only supposed to play Oregon this year. The Florida game was originally scheduled for 2020.
 
I think we'll win 3 of our remaining games against Cal Poly, PSU, and UNC. That said I think we are capable of beating anyone left on our schedule.
 
I still have one game left for Eastern to hit the 2 -5 record I chose on this poll. The writing for Best and this team was on the wall from the beginning. Looking forward to a change.

UNC did beat a BB team when he had one of his typical all offense, no defense games that came down to a FG that was missed and the Bears took the victory. UNC looks better this season, certainly good enough to make it 1 -6 since this poll was done...
