Realistically, I say 7-5 or 6-6. If we get lucky maybe 8 wins, with 9 wins possible if all the dominoes fall into the right places. If QB play is the same as last year, then I could see us miss a bowl game and go 5-7. I don't think we'd regress enough to go below that.
I'm gonna revisit my predictions after non-conference, Having three games to see the team will help me predict the outcomes of the Maryland and Iowa games, then after those I'd be able to give a final prediction on the year. Potential to go 5-0 to start the season, which would make me very hopeful for the rest of the season.
