Buffalo - Lance Leopold ain’t walking through that door.
1-0 and probably by 3 scores

Northwestern state- maybe better than northwestern but awful.
2-0 and by at least 3 scores

@Cal - sneaky sneaky but 3-0 by 10 points on the road

Rutgers - Revenge game at home against Athan K coming off a bye week?
14 points at home - 4-0

@ohio state - too rich for my blood
Loss by 10 that feels like more than 10
4-1

Purdue - get right by playing the worst power 5 team. 5-1

Nebraska - Friday night lights.
The steak continues by 7.
6-1 in a gritty game. I will be intoxicated

@iowa - gophers 2-0 in Iowa city when im not there since 1995 and im not going to be there. You are welcome. 7-1

Michigan state is just below average.
Gophers by 14
8-1

@oregon with a bye week. This would be a good game to go to. If the gophers jump into the playoffs it’s because they beat Nebraska, Iowa, Oregon back to back to back. Oregon doesn’t have a QB. It’s the first time their coach is with his whole team nobody from previous regime.
Oregon by 20
8-2

Northwestern in Chicago. Revenge game from the worst game of the fleck era (IMO) two years ago. 9-2

@wisconsin. I predict vs interim coach. I predict vs interim team.

Would you settle for I hope you're right? Regarding the bold, always my dream!
 

10 wins is rather optimistic concerning the Gophers QB, OL, WR situation. I expect inconsistent play from them and a 7 win season (8 with the bowl win).
 

2019 was real nice. But that was a missed opportunity. It's kind of all on the QB for me, but if he's decent, I expect to win 10. Enough knocking on the door and beating on the door. Kick the sum bitch in!
 



Oh, and a post-2019 breakthrough season, it's time.

Go Gophers!!

Oregon has two QBs, 5 star Dante Moore (probable starter) and 4 star Austin Novostad. Both have a ton of upside.
 

If everything goes right then that's the ceiling for sure. Winning all 3 of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Nebraska will be no small feat. I think more likely we go 2-1 and also drop a head scratcher somewhere to win 8. Hoping for 10 though.
 





I hope you are right but I’ll be surprised with better than a 7-5 regular season record.
 







Seems legit except we can't beat Iowa and they might have a QB this year. And Peej always loses a can't lose game. Buffalo, NWSt, or Purdue will pull the upset. 8-4.
 

Some guy said:
Wow they have two high school QBs

I am impressed

Ducks by 22 instead of 20

I'm going to assume that was meant as sarcasm. Neither one of them are straight out of high school. Dante Moore started for UCLA under Chip Kelly in 2023, he spent 2024 learning as a back up to Dillon Gabriel at Oregon. Autstin Novostad, has spent one year as a back up to Bo Nix and one year as an understudy to Dillion Gabriel. Point is both QBs aren't "high school" QBs, they've both been in the system and have had the chance to learn under a couple pretty good college QBs and OC.

Dante probably is the most athletically talented of the two, while I can see Austin making a career in the NFL.

Oregon does have a couple more QBs in the room. One with some name recognition is Akili Smith Jr. Four Star and son of Akili Smith (former Duck and NFL QB)
 




I think 7-10 wins.... probably would pick 8 if I was a betting man.

My point was more the ducks are the only team I predicted to beat the gophers by 20+ and somehow the ducks guy is the only one offended

Amazing what money can buy.
 

This team is young. There's a reason there are no seniors going to media day.

I think next year will be the breakthrough year.

Came here to do a variation on this.

With PJ Fleck, you're almost always going to have a game that should have been a win, taken away.

On the other hand, you reasonably often get a game won that you didn't think should have won. Last year over USC, is the example that comes to mind. Granted, later on in the year it didn't quite have the same shine ... but damn did it feel amazing in the stadium that night.

Also, winning on the road is tough. Every Big Ten team has the same big pot of money to throw at players ... so every team will have at least some players.


Combined with young QB ... a lot of games you can get away with a strong running game and good defense. But the tough games, you need him to make some throws on 3rd and long.


Think we lose one we shouldn't and split with Neb / Iowa. As you say, 8-4 which really ain't bad

Our two Minnesota football teams both will have the youngest or near youngest QB's in the league starting.

Life's a craps shoot. Do we roll a 7??
 

Cal is an interesting one.

Justin Wilcox will be his 9th season as HC! Had them on a nice upward trajectory to 8-5 with a bowl win in 2019, then covid collapsed. Been a slow crawl back since covid. But last two seasons 6-7 making it to low end bowl games.

Probably a make or break year for him? We are the 3rd of 4 non-conf games for them, the other 3 being relatively easy(?). They should be 2-0, although first game against Oregon State is maybe still a quasi-Power team?

Brand new coordinators, including OC Bryan Harsin (long HC run at Boise then bombed out in 2 years as HC at Auburn, nothing since 2022 fired, unless he has been an "analyst" and it wasn't listed) and upgraded couple defensive coaches to be Co-DC.

Tough to win on the road. Could be similar to going to North Carolina.
