Oct. 5: vs. USC Trojans, 28.2%
Oct. 12: at UCLA, 59.1%
Oct. 26: vs. Maryland Terrapins, 48.2%
Nov. 2: at Illinois Fighting Illini, 38.1%
Nov. 9: at Rutgers Scarlet Knights, 34.5%
Nov. 23: vs. Penn State Nittany Lions, 22.1%
Nov. 29: at Wisconsin Badgers, 24.3%

 








Cool.....may as well not even bother with the games I guess. Feels like a short season but if the computers say we have no chance we may as well just pack it in. :)

Assuming these percentages are right espn expects 2.53 more wins
 



And assuming they are independent events with absolutely no influence over each other.

Which, Fleck would tell you they are! :D
 

It’s certainty possible, but I think Fleck pulls out at least a couple

I see UCLA and MD as the only real opportunities. I think MD is the best chance. Rutgers and Illinois are probably the least chance.
 



On the other hand, given this prognostication we should probably storm the field if we get a W for this one.

Look...The Football Gods chime in...

So you're saying "there's a chance"?

Oooops, someone should've told Vandy last week that ESPN basically said they didn't need to show up to play the game.

This article was written before the USC game. These numbers have now shifted a bit:
  • Maryland - MINN win 64%
  • ILLINI - MINN win 50% (coin flip)
  • Rutgers - MINN win 49.4% (This will shift as it becomes more apparent they don't have a QB)
  • Penn St - MINN win 27.9%
  • Wisky - MINN win 35.3% (makes the least sense as we have USC as a common opponent and they lost)
