So with all of the PF Board speculation on total number of wins, do we/don't we make a bowl game, I think now is the time for everyone to put their cards on the table and predict which games we win/lose.


08/31/14 at Baylor Loss
09/06/14 at North Texas Win
09/20/14 vs. Texas A&M Loss
09/27/14 vs. TCU Win
10/04/14 at East Carolina Loss
10/18/14 vs. Cincinnati Win
10/25/14 vs. Memphis Win
11/08/14 at Tulsa Win
11/15/14 vs. USF Win
11/22/14 at UCF Loss
11/28/14 vs. Houston Loss
12/06/14 at Connecticut Win

7-5 and Bowl Game Bound (Although I really hopes its not in Hawaii)

Here we go:


08/31/14 at Baylor Loss
09/06/14 at North Texas Win
09/20/14 vs. Texas A&M Loss
09/27/14 vs. TCU Win
10/04/14 at East Carolina Win
10/18/14 vs. Cincinnati Win
10/25/14 vs. Memphis Win
11/08/14 at Tulsa Win
11/15/14 vs. USF Win
11/22/14 at UCF Loss
11/28/14 vs. Houston Win
12/06/14 at Connecticut Win

9-3
Reasoning: Matt Davis turns out to be a Stud QB, Prescott Line vastly improves, Gresham is beast, O Line is solid, Defensive line and Linebackers are deep and well coached, Corners are young and we get a couple of surprises.

I think the gap between SMU and UNT is wider than the gap between us and Big 12 programs so that game will end up in a slaughter. We may do better against A&M compared to Manziel era and make it closer. TCU has no QB but their DLine is elite but Oline and running QB/running game save us like in 2011 along with breakout performances by our receiver corps vs. a Verrettless secondary. We haven't lost to ECU since JJ has been here and I don't think this will be an exception, Texas Talent>East coast. We lose to possibly undefeated and Access bowl bound #12 UCF in what may be a ranked matchup (hopefully an ESPN gameday game? :) ) and Houston pays for their sins like they did in 2012 and suffers a bad loss at Ford.

Go bowling, hopefully in Florida or Las Vegas Bowl, get ready to enjoy Mudiay and SMU basketball's run towards a national championship.

You must not have watched very many of our games last year and probably no UNT games. I have that one chalked up as a big L, but I will still be going to Denton.

I did watch them and I did watch us. We lost 3 games by a total of 10 points. Our team this year is significantly improved. UNT played against WAC/SunbeltUSA and won because of being superior to Middle TN, LA Tech, UTSA and Rice :lol:

Rice would have beaten us last year just like they did in 2012

6-3 going into UCF game and in contention for American Conference title - However 3 losses in a row will take them to 6-6 as we back our way into a meaningless bowl game.

I'm in at 5 - 7. Thankfully the AAC is weak - because we sure are.

Not dogging you but how do you expect to beat Cincy and lose to UCONN?

4-8. Very depressing. And I'm not convinced USF is a win although I like our chances at home. They've had some strong recruiting classes and my take is that it will start showing on the field this year. We barely beat them last year. Memphis will also be better but again I like our chances at home. I want to say the UConn game is a win but by that point we will be out of bowl contention so it doesn't really matter, it's a toss up . . . I won't debate anyone who thinks we will win that one.

Bottom line: We should blow out most of these AAC teams with all this talent in our backyard and be very competitive with Baylor and especially TCU. It should be us and the Florida teams battling it out every year for the AAC title and the top bowl for the conference. Won't be this coming year.

How about taking guesses at the attendance for the home games?
