2025 Season Prediction

[ZooCougar]

Isn't 50% the actual cut off point to be eligible for a ball game?

I guess I see what you mean.

50% chance at 6 wins is more precise I guess.

UConn is 1-2 and must go 5-4 (55.6%) the rest of the way to be bowl eligible. I don't know what the current odds are against the rest of the schedule but if I were a gambling man, I think 50% of winning 5 games is very optimistic.

If the defense can get back to how it played for the first ~3 quarters of the Cuse game, or even close to it, I’d feel much more confident about getting to 6-7 wins and even an outside chance at 8. But if the D doesn’t start making strides, we’re going to see a lot more back and forth struggles like last week and this team hasn’t proven they can win those

We went 1-2 and haven’t hit the hard part of the schedule.

Do you mean you’re optimistic that we will go 5-4?

9-3 overall.

2-2 against 'cuse, BCU, AFA and dook.

With so much roster turnover not just for UConn but for each of the opponents, I have no idea how this will all work out.

But, I think there has been a talent upgrade in the locker room and I am comfortable with the stability of the coaching staff and the OC and DC.

I'm sticking with this.

I meant that as of today, I think the odds of making a bowl game are less than 50% but I'm hope I'm wrong. You said you think our chances are 50%. That could be right, but given our last 2 games, I think 5-4 the rest of the way is a tough nut. If we look shaky against Balls State, then we are in big trouble

Honestly if UConn D can just show a pulse, the O may be able to get us over the line this year, assuming backup RBs step up. I will let JM and Brock do their thing before panicking some more.

That said, a ball state loss will probably mean I’m out for the year, not gonna reserve saturdays anymore for this team.

A win will not give me much confidence for the year, but it’s a win. One down, more to go.

Why not? We lost 2 games in OT. Delaware for all we know could be a freak loss and the defense doesn’t look nearly as bad. The hardest part of our schedule are teams that could beat us but we can also beat.

If there's one positive here it's that the fanbase can start looking at things week-to-week instead of talking about "playoffs"

The defense dominated Cuse for 3/4 of the game and then bottomed out against Delaware. You'd have to think at the end of the day the D is somewhere in the middle -- which should be enough to get the job done

A Ball State loss would be demoralizing for me and the rest of the fan base that just wants a glass of water, not even an oasis, after being in the desert of football ineptitude for last 10+years. If they do lose to Ball State, at home nonetheless, I will watch the games for the rest of the year, but it won't be with my undivided attention.

 

[Rdkid]

A still optimistic 8-4 with some better execution and the ball bouncing the right way.
