Good, good. Let's hope Vegas throws out a 5.5 or 6 and I'll go to the mattresses.
7-8 wins seems reasonable. These people saying that they'll be happy with 6, or some have even suggested that 4 or 5 would be OK-come on. Yes, this is a tough schedule, but look at it-we should be able to squeeze 7 wins out of it, and it isn't crazy to see 8 or even 9 possible.
If you believe Frost will begin to bring this team back to their potential, you have to believe he'll get 7 wins. I say:
Wins: Akron, Troy, Purdue, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Colorado
Losses: Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State.
I will admit, though, more than 7 wins would be pretty impressive in year 1 with this schedule.
The only “guaranteed” losses right now are Ohio St and Wisconsin. If Patterson gets approval from NCAA then I may put Michigan in that category. If he doesn’t get the waiver, that team will struggle offensively, new OC without a QB to run his offense.
Every other game can be won.

I was going to guess the over under would be set at 6.5.
We have the preseason toughest or 2nd toughest schedule in the nation and a BIG ? at QB.
I would sign up for 6 or 7 wins next year right now
Well, I don't see beating Whisky as mission impossible. I think we'll give them a good game. We'll see!

I look at it sorta like if Riley's teams can play nearly all of these teams closely or beat them with the poor accountability they had in Strength and Conditioning and in general a pretty piss poor coaching staff, then why can't Frost and his staff make a close game out of all the games except Ohio State and maybe Michigan? Riley's team have beat all the rest, except for Iowa, who they played competitively in 2015, which was quite a bit better team than their 2018 team will be.
And we're only 3 months into Strength and Conditioning. If they've made the amazing progress they have in just 3 months, imagine where they will be in September.
I don't see why we couldn't also give Wisconsin a close game too. Hell, Riley lost to Wisky on a last second FG in Lincoln the first year we played them. With the progress we'll make in Strength and Conditioning by this upcoming season, who knows what these kids are capable of.
with regards to Wisconsin I think the difference is their 3rd year QB running the same system and we will have a 1st year starter learning a new system .. it could happen but would be an upset
Yeah, if I was a bett'in man, I'd bet the farm on that one.Good, good. Let's hope Vegas throws out a 5.5 or 6 and I'll go to the mattresses.
That's what a lot of people said after the low number last year. While I recognize a new man is in charge, this is ultimately the same team that lost 8 games with QBs not fit for the new system. While I expect an immediate improvement, these metrics for predicting records are based on a lot of history.Good, good. Let's hope Vegas throws out a 5.5 or 6 and I'll go to the mattresses.
Considering Frost made a 6 game improvement in his first year at UCF, I don't think a 3 or 4 game improvement is all that out of the realm of possibility.That's what a lot of people said after the low number last year.

It's very rare for a team to make a 3 or 4 game improvement, no matter the circumstances.
I am certainly hopeful of that. I'd actually say his jump from 6 wins to 12 (regular season) was actually more impressive than going from 0 to 6.Considering Frost made a 6 game improvement in his first year at UCF, I don't think a 3 or 4 game improvement is all that out of the realm of possibility.
I no longer think any games are guaranteed losses or guaranteed wins. Odds are those games are losses, but it’s not like it’s Nebraska playing south dakota state.The only “guaranteed” losses right now are Ohio St and Wisconsin. If Patterson gets approval from NCAA then I may put Michigan in that category. If he doesn’t get the waiver, that team will struggle offensively, new OC without a QB to run his offense.

I would think that everyone would be fine with being bowl eligible by the time we play Iowa and no loss more than 10-14 points.
The process is the process. Do not question it.........Because of the process.
Yet, you went on to explain why those losses were guaranteed? Take it easyHence the reason the word “guaranteed” was put in quotes. As you were
They are predicting 5.5 6.0 wins for the season

So are they (osu, wisky) guaranteed losses or not? If that’s how this works, I suppose I could put quotation marks on my words and then say I wasn’t serious. Then no one would know what it is, exactly, that I was trying to say.Nope. I went on to explain why Michigan would be added to the “guaranteed” list if Patterson was cleared to play. Carry on.
