revised predictions

[sbsmith]

yesterday's game was a "must win" for Houston...wasn't it just last week we were discussing whether they would win 6 games? Now the Tulane game becomes our "must win" if we are going to be bowl eligible again this year

They still might not win 6 games, those last 4 are especially daunting.

7-5.
Armed Forces Bowl at home.

[PonySnob]

6-6.......if we beat Tulane

[Nacho]

7-5

[MidlandMustang]

I've said all along 6-6 or 7-5. With a few breaks maybe 8-4. Of course, I thought 8-4 with a few breaks early in the season.

[Stallion]

I think you got it covered with that prediction.

[George S. Patton]

5-7 or 6-6

I predict there will be another knee-jerk reaction revised prediction thread started following the Tulane game.

Here's an idea -- stick with what you predicted in August.

I'm still golden at 8-4!

At least until the weekend!

10-2 seems out of reach at this point.

8-4 is still doable. UTEP, Tulane, Marshall, are all winnable. We can also lose those games. ECU will be toughest. 7-5 is more likely at this stage. None of the games that we've lost so far are surprises. I was hoping we'd win one out of 4, but we didn't. Padron and his receivers slumps this year, have been the biggest surprise. We knew our defense was as thin as a piece of paper and if we got through the season intact would have been very lucky.

Well if we are going to a bowl, we need to win 3 of our 4 remaining games. Marshall at home after a bye week should be a win. East Carolina there ,the day after thanksgiving, will be very tough. That leaves Tulane and UTEP as must wins on the road. I see 6-6 with no bowl bid as a real possibility unless there is great improvement in all phases of the game quickly.

There are 70 bowl slots, we have a bowl on our own homefield with a C-USA tie in. There has been talk for months about the NCAA possibly letting 5-7 teams into bowl games because there might not be enough bowl-eligible teams to fill the slots.

That is what I want to pay good money to see. Two 5-7 teams going head to head.

7-5 and a tie with Houston for the CUSA West title. They win the tiebreaker again and play in the conference title game.

I will stick with 7-5 but the upside is gone. I think pb has the West scenario right.

[Big Hoss]

Why should anyone revise their predictions if we have lost the 4 games this season that we were expected to lose?

Back in the preseason prediction thread:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=47102

I went with:
@Tech=L
UAB=W
Wash St.=W
TCU=L
@Rice=W (Finally)
Tulsa=L
@Navy=L
Houston=W
@Tulane=W
@ UTEP=W
Marshall=W
@ East Carolina=W

I figured we'd split Tulsa and Houston one way or the other, so with that said, we're right where I had hoped. The downside is that ECU is a lot better than I expected. I still think we can win out, but I think we're going to drop either UTEP or ECU, but not both.
