I voted 10-3. Tech should go undefeated in WAC play, defeat Lamar, UNLV, Rice, and at least one of the other 3 non-conference teams.

12-1.. I see us possibly losing one against either the Illini or Virginia.. 10-2 at worst.. Houston will be down and I'll be very disappointed if we don't sweep WAC play and beat both Rice and UNLV

Lamar - W.

@Houston - No Keenum, new staff, early in the season. W.

Rice - this one I don't know that much about. They're coming off of a 4 win season, with all 4 w's at home. They played a really hard schedule - all losses and one home win were against bowl teams. They bring back experience at QB, RB, and WR. I'd say they're better than their record indicates, but I think the Dawgs at home in their first meaningful home game are too much to handle. - W.

UNLV - not a good team, and a worse team on the road. - W.

Idaho - no real returning talent, in Ruston. - W.

USU - loads of returning talent, but it's in Ruston. Next season, this might not be so easy. - W.

UTSA - huh? - W.

@NMSU - Not enough defense to beat us, even though their offense is improving. - W.

@SJSU - We have their number, even in their house. - W.

@TSU - I can't believe we have to play here. Very sad. - W.

@ Illinois and @ UVA are a split. I think SD has this team playing well enough on the road to get one of these, right now I'm thinking the zook-less Illinios team early in the season is the best bet. It's been a while since we had an East-Coast road trip.

11-1. This is from a guy who predicted 4-8 this season.

Oh, and I don't do bowl games.

09/01 vs. Lamar (WIN)
09/08 at Houston (Close, I like our chances)
09/15 vs. Rice (WIN)
09/22 at Illinois (Could go either way)
09/29 at Virginia (Could go either way)
10/06 vs. UNLV (WIN)
Idaho (WIN)
Utah State (WIN)
UTSA (WIN)
New Mexico St (WIN)
San Jose St (This team is getting good, scary road game)
Texas St (WIN)
Bowl game (?)

8-4 at worse.
I'm going to be conservative and say 10-2 with wins over Houston and San Jose St and losses at Virginia and Illinois.
But if we are better next year, we could go 12-0 with this schedule!

[qng001]

I predict a 10+ season with either Nick or Colby.

[KSDAWG]

11-2, with a decent shot at 12-0 regular season and a toss up bowl game.

With that record and winning the WAC we could still end up in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl against the MAC. If I understand the rules correctly, since the WAC will only have 7 Football teams next year, 1 short of the 8 team minimum to qualify as a conference, there will only be one bowl tie-in for the conference. Our best hope is to beat Houston and have an impressive win over either UVA or Illinois and get an at-large bid to another bowl.

The Potato Bowl will be the WAC's only tie-in, but that's not the reason why. The NCAA gave the WAC a two year waiver to compete with less than 8 football teams. The reason the WAC was forced to only have 1 bowl tie-in is because next year's WAC teams have only averaged 1 bowl appearance over the past 4 years. That's the same reason why the WAC had to give up the New Mexico Bowl tie-in this season. This year Boise State's 4 bowls in the last 4 years were credited to the Mountain West.

Thanks for the clarification. My understanding was that the 1 bowl tie in was a direct consequence of the waiver process.

[KSDAWG]

We will beat uH. If we end up 9-3 it will be because of a loss to USU or SJSU.

[louisiana_dog]

13-0, because it is the offseason and I live in my red and blue glasses' world!

[bsngr]

12-1

The dawgs will be star struck playing in their first BCS game and lose a close one.

[Tech15]

I don't want to be a homer but this is a team that could go 12-0. If that's the case, do we go to a BCS bowl?
