they mailed in this one. They have the 3 directional Michigan schools bunched together. Reality is, this is another click bait article but hey, they gotta start somewhere. Once they are a few games in, these guys have something to judge and then usually do a good job.

I expect us to finish in the 70's to low 80's.

Anyone bet the over/under win total? I have not seen what the number is at

Gonna bet over regardless I think, got burned last year but smashed it the PY so im even on the last two years

I bet the over on DK: over 4.5 wins at -130 at the time (August 12). Not sure how much it has moved since then. Looks like it has held.

Boy it must suck to be a Temple Fan right now. They had that brief window under Golden & Rhule where they were fielding tough competitive teams. Now they are on a rocket ride back to the bottom. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if there is a Mora on the horizon to help pull them out of their nosedive...

The Golden Rhule, I never put that together before.

They don't know what real rock bottom is.

i'd wait until we were FIRMLY out of the basement, to talk about "boy it must suck". a 118 /120 ranking isn't exactly elite or even mediocre.

We could be a consensus #132 in about 4-5 weeks from today. not saying i want that, but it's very real still for us.

It actually sucks more to be a UConn fan.

Ugggh. But you are right.

I am still going with my 6-7 win prediction, but I dont expect to see much from the O for the first 3 weeks because of the competition, new personnel, new O coordinator, new playbook, etc. But we have to beat Merrimack in week 2 even with a shaky offense. Lose that one and the air could leave the balloon real fast.

if we lose 59-7 to maryland opening day, that's it for this year.
we'd probably win a game or 3, but it would be the nail in the coffin for me. It'd mean this team is no better than last year, even with the new blood.

 

[RSTuthill]

Using this ranking UConn will go 3-9 if it is a formful year.

Thinking you missed including Merrimack.

I love the pessimism lately. Or is it realism? Anyways it’s a breath of fresh air around here.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

if the Huskies go 8 and 4, will they make the top 50 by the end of the season?

 

[huskymedic]

 

[AllHusky]

We play 3 of the bottom 10 so that should be a good start
Win 2 50/50’s
One big upset
6-6
Win a bowl
Pretty reasonable, yes

Prevailing wisdom- Maryland toughest opponent??

I expect us to finish in the 70's to low 80's.

I expect us to finish #1 with a brand new CFP trophy sitting inside Burton.

5-7. Final record comes down to the O line and QB. If both are better than expected then 7-5. If worse, then 3-9.

 

[Jimdish255]

If Evers is healthy we go 7-5

If he's not and the coaches choose Fagnano it's 4-8

If they go with Welliver instead we could end up 6-6



This all assumes a decent o-line which could impact our record plus 1 or minus 2 games. They are still a huge questionmark. I think the other position groups all look pretty competent, even surprisingly good on D.
