That puts us at a prediction of 6.4 wins for me. I think this is the best way to do it. It's a good style for discussion too. I personally think it is silly to just declare that you have a hunch that we are going to upset some team two months beforehand and add that as a W on a prediction.

5-7 or 6-6 with wins against UNI and KU...Where our other wins come from I have absolutely no idea. Tulsa, Iowa, WVU, KU, Tech would be my guess

I dunno. My predictions certainly don't affect the outcome of the games--and I've most certainly been wrong before. :biggrin:

Basically my thoughts as well. Though I'd put Baylor as the last one over Tech. I have a feeling Tech is going to be pretty decent this season under their own Coach McDreamy.
 
UNI: W
Iowa: W
Tulsa:W
Texas: W
Tech: W
Baylor: L
OSU: L
KSU: W
TCU: L
OU: L
Kansas: W
WVU: W

I think we can go 8+1/4, but probably struggle to win 6 games, I will take a 7W/6L season.
 
I won't predict it, but we could finish as high as 5th in the conference this year. The teams 5-10 are all very similar talent wise. I think we win 6. Start 3-0, beat tech, tcu at home (upset special) and kansas. Lose a tough one @WVU to end the season. WVU will get their 6th win that day.
 
I have no idea why everyone picks a loss to TCU, I think we win by 2 touchdowns and plays out like Baylor last season. I have us at 7-5
 
W vs. UNI
W vs. Iowa
L @ Tulsa (I'm worried about being unprepared, as we have 2 bye weeks in September)
L vs. Texas
W @ Tech (bounceback win)
W @ Baylor
L vs. OSU
L @ KSU (the drought continues)
W vs. TCU
L @ OU (the drought also continues)
W vs. Kansas
L @ WVU (WVU coming off of a bye week, maybe fighting for a bowl, good crowd, etc.)

6-6 overall, 4-5 in Big 12. I'm setting the bar at this and hoping Coach Rhoads can finally plink one against Stoops or Snyder, which would make a 7-5 (or 8-4) season feel like a huge success.
 
UNI = W
Iowa = W
@Tulsa = L
Texas = L
@Tech = L
@ Baylor = L
OSU = L
@ K-st = W
TCU = L
@ OU = L
KU = W
@ WV = W

5-7 in my honest opinion.

Only games I'm iffy on are Texas, TCU, and Tulsa. I just don't see this years team as a bowl team. Maybe the year after when/if Richardson has a full year under his belt, and we get Lazard and all the recruits he's pulled in.
 
Non W-L prediction:

We sell out UNI, Iowa (a given), Texas.

If we make it through Tulsa unscathed we sell out TCU and OSU.
 
I see 5-7

W vs. UNI
W vs. Iowa
L @ Tulsa
L vs. Texas
W @ Tech
L @ Baylor
L vs. OSU
L @ KSU
L vs. TCU
L @ OU
W vs. Kansas
W @ WVU
