If 6 wins are possible then I say 7 wins as coach Calhoun would say is "doable".

Really hard to make a prediction without any idea what our QB will look like. If we happen to have a surprisingly good QB things could be very interesting. We have some serious talent in our stable of backs. They can run and catch and they should be all over the field if the pass threat is there.

5 wins is something to build off of, especially considering that's how many games we won in the last 2 seasons. I could see us getting as high as 7 wins. I could also see a scenario where we win 2 games. It is preseason and we're undefeated, so I'm optimistic and shooting for 5 wins.

I would like the 4-5 wins to come before November. Even if they don't get to 6 and a bowl, I want November games to have meaning. I want them to realize the games matter and that outcomes of individual games can greatly improve their future. Last year's season was a wash by October.

With one of the toughest schedule in college football, 4-6 wins would be a HUGE improvement.

We get 6 wins and people will be gushing about Diaco next year- he'll be in the coversation for P5 school open jobs I bet. But the even more important part is that we'll be back in the national conversation again, playing football during the holidays!
FWIW- Here is the AAC's bowl lineup for 2015:
Birmingham Bowl (We've been there, done that, got the 'W' and the t-shirt... Horrible stadium and host city for us, but its a bowl game.)
Birmingham, Ala. – vs. SEC
St. Petersburg Bowl (Terrible conference to play, but who wouldn't mind Tampa/St. Pete in December?)
St. Petersburg, Fla. – vs. Conference USA
Miami Beach Bowl (Hey, it could be Beach 'Brawl' 2.0?)
Miami, Fla. – vs. Conference USA
Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman (Would be kind of fun to beat an ACC school, plus playing in cold weather in Maryland would be neat I think...)
Annapolis, Md. – vs. ACC
Sheraton Hawaii Bowl (Come'on who wouldn't want to see Andres Knappe wearing a grass skirt and coconut bra during bowl week media day? Oh, plus, think of the awesome bowl parties you could have at home- hawiian tiki drinks and pinapple bbq pork chops...mmmmm)
Honolulu, Hawaii – vs. Mountain West
Boca Raton Bowl (Another snooze of a bowl game against a weak conference, but hey- its a bowl game, and we have to start somewhere again... Also not a terrible place to be in December.)
Boca Raton, Fla. – vs. MAC
Cure Bowl (Ok, you know our boys will be at Walt Disney World at some point. And if they can't make the College FB Playoffs to make it there, this might be second best? Plus, cheap, direct flights from Bradley, and a million of hotels to get great deals.)
Orlando, Fla. – vs. Sun Belt

Call me crazy but we will be 5-2 after our first 7 games, with our only losses to Mizzou and BYU both on the road.
I'm going out to Mizzou and BYU. We won't lose out there due to a lack of vocal support. Come join the crowd. The last part of our season will see a packed and reinvigorated Rent. That will get us the media attention so vital to our future. UConn 38--Nova 17 will start us off on a great Thursday night debut of UConn redux. This is a much improved Husky team. Get excited.
