Montana St.-Downed (W-1)

USF, Connecticut, Temple and Memphis-Will Be Won if We Play to Our Talent Level (W 2-5)

Rutgers, Houston-Again If We Just Play to Our Talent Level We Will 1 of These (W-6)

Cincy, UCF, TCU-We Need To Come Out and Have 1 Exceptional Game Against Better Talent and Get an Upset (W-7)

unobtanium

Your W-1 etc needs some decoding... it looks like you are saying we will be 2-5 after the USF line, but you mean wins 2 through 5...

If we don't win Rutgers the team will collapse.

I will make my posts clearer next time. I don't believe this team will collapse after losses, which could happen against Rutgers. They showed resiliency coming back against MSU and last year we bounced back from disappointing losses to Tulane and Rice.

W - USF is horrible. Lost to FIU http://espn.go.com/ncf/recap?id=332570058
W - UConn is a little better, but it's a home game. They lost to TOWSON State, or perennial BBall opponent under Shumate.
W - Memphis is horrible. Lost to an FCS team (MTSU). Road game.
W - Temple is horrible. Lost to an FCS team (Fordham). Homecoming game.

That's 5 wins. Need 1 more to be "bowl eligible" for a weed-eater bowl.

Rutgers - Home game - lost to Fresno in 2OT. 3-0. Home game. Not likely, but an important game if we are 1-3.
Houston - Road game. Barely beat Temple (22-18). Road game. Depends.

Cincy - lost their QB. Road game, but We have 2 weeks to prepare before. Unknown how good they really are with 1 good win (Purdue) and 1 horrible loss (Illinois). Beat NWState (1aa) with backup QB ~66-9
UCF - 3-0. home game. Beat PennState, but that's not going to be as good of a win as we learn how bad losing 15 scholarships a year starts to affect PSU this year. Most likely loss, but it's the last game, and a home game.
TCU - at the beginning of the season and after the LSU game, this one was really scary. But maybe that TTech game was an indication that Tech is a lot better than everyone thought, and TCU's vaunted D is just not there anymore. Possible win. Depends on the Aggie game (do we get destroyed, or run the ball and control the clock for a respectable loss?)

Unless CUSA dropped down to FCS, Memphis has not played or lost to an FCS team.

I'll go ahead and write off A$M as a loss, but I think TCU is winnable. We haven't lost there uin four years.

I was going to add that MTSU is not FCS. They were a pretty good SunBelt team last year and now in CUSA. Memphis is bad, but MTSU has become pretty competitive.

Memphis and USF are probably pointing to the SMU as home games they can win. Are we anyone's homecoming opponent this year?

Also, Cinci's loss to Illinois is not horrible. Illinois has improved dramatically this year.
