2015/2016 Win Total Prediction

[Colt house75]

isn't this the 4th OC in 4 years??

Optimistically, hoping for 4 wins............

 

[NavinRJohnson]

couldn't it actually be 15-0?

Yes. It should be 15-0.

 

[noeynox]

If we win 5 or more I'll be happier than a pig in you know what. 4 wins, and competitive football would be a success.

 

[Huskybass]

3 at best. Its not going to be pretty.

A repeat of my post from another thread, but perfectly valid here:

Last year I was expecting 4 wins and got 2 (that Army game was a kick to the nuts for me and spelled the end of my optimism, which led me to anger, quickly followed by being jaded). This year I'm expecting 6, as the surprise team out of the AAC. I know this is borderline reckless in my optimism, but I truly believe that we finally got the kinks out of the system, the players are actually fit athletically to play at FBS strength, and our defense has the potential to be really good this year. If you couple that with having an Oline where everyone has either started or had playing time last year (losing crozier hurts), which should lead to an offense that is competent (certainly more competent than last year), all of those cheapo losses are gone (USF, Tulane, SMU). We played 50 different players against BYU. 50. That's not happening this time around.

Chalk me up for 7-6 beating Georgia Southern in the AutoNation Cure bowl.

I'm at 3 but I really could see us anywhere from 0-6. I think the first 2 games will go a long way to determining where we end up. Lose both and I think it is very probable that we will struggle to get even 1 win and might as well collect the gear on Halloween. Win those and modest success is possible

I voted 2. Hope for more, but I think 2016 will be our year of getting back to (and maybe over) 0.500.

 

[Dooley]

5, but it's a "good" 5. That is enough to make the 2016 preseason exciting and begin to shift the perception of where the program is headed. Need to lay the groundwork for winning (again) in 2015 though.

 

[kcc1442]

I got 5. My prediction is Nova, Army, UCF, USF, Tulane

I think we can possibly get to 6 by taking one of ECU or Houston.

 

[Greathusky]

I thought we would have 5 wins last year. I voted for 5 again.

This is concerning, as is our OL. I expect both to be better, but who knows by how much. I went with 4 as well.

 

[Arjona]

To anyone who has us at anything other than 15-0, I quote Clark Griswold, "I think you're all f*ed in the head!" National Champs baby!

Although I'll be satisfied with 4, happy with 5, and ecstatic with 6.

 

[J187Money]

7.

Agreed. Can't vote for less than 6 and a bowl win. Even if I'm not being realistic.

 

[Afroabe224]

2015: 4-8 (2-6)
way to early 2016: 9-4 (5-3)

So are we losing the AAC conference championship game or the first round of the NCAA playoff?

 

[tiger8mush]

I wonder which teams on our schedule are counting us as a LOSS in their pre-season predictions

Well they could go 7-1 in conference, not make the AAC championship game and win a bowl game....

 

[mets1090]

Lose in the regular season? I laugh at your foolishness.

Not one of them. Nova, Army, Navy, and USF probably have us as "Could go either way, would be nice to get a win on the road." The rest either look at us as an automatic win or a "We better win or it's going to be an ugly season."

Many would have said the same of Memphis going in to last season . . .

That's the tune I've been singing for the last couple months. It's the source of my sanity right now.

We'll probably be able to gauge the chances of a Memphis-like turnaround after the first week. Until then, the fact that Memphis pulled that off just last year is enough for me to maintain some small optimism.

 

[SAMCRO]

I went 6 - Nova, Army, Navy, USF, Tulane, and one of Houston, ECU, or SMU. We are going bowling! (we play SMU, right?)

(full disclosure, I never finish in the top half of weekly pick 'em, and I was 1 for 10 in my week 1 EPL predictions.... so it goes without saying that I am really, really good at this)

 

[SonsOfNutmeg]

We need 6, period. This fan base, and this program is so hungry for a bowl game its rediculous.
