Potentially winnable games: USF, Memphis, UNT, Tulsa, UConn. Should be fun.

I love this schedule, I just wish I had more faith that our team would be ready for it.

I think USF will be a lot better this year. UConn is just as much of a dumpster fire as we are. Too bad we miss playing Temple because with they way they're recruiting, they'll kick our [deleted] in a year or two. they almost did last year.

I'm going to go sunshine here and assume good health and maybe a little luck:

Winnable games: Houston, Cincinnati, USF, Memphis, UNT, Tulsa, ECU, UConn. I don't see us winning 8, though. I'll say 6-6 with a chance of 7-5 if some bounces go our way.

Gotta go. Today's my day to buy a lottery ticket, and I'm planning to meet the girl of my dreams on my way to buy it.

Yes and no. I predict 6 wins, maybe 7, but I'm not sure any game on the schedule other than A&M and Baylor is completely unwinnable, because I don't know who lost what. UCF always has a lot of athletes, but they lost their star QB and RB. If our guys come along, could we pull the upset? Sure, I guess, but I don't know for sure.

I could see us winning 4 or 8. So I split the difference.

It all depends on how the games are ordered. With a young line (if those stories are true), young WR, young QB, the offense will be a lot better later in the season than early.

2014 Schedule

Postby feelthehorsepower » Thu Jan 30, 2014 7:49 pm

Wins: UNT, TCU, Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, Tulsa, UCF, USF, UConn, ECU
Winnable game: Baylor
High chance of losing: Aggy

Reasons for the 10 wins:
Burcham improves greatly in Spring training and destroys the stats in Passing and TDs, similar to how GG did this year. Aided by a bigger and more experienced Oline as well as a 4 deep Runningback corps with Gersham, Pope, Line, P. and KC Nlemchi and a strong Wide receiver contingent, we should prove to be more than formidable on offense. We will score this time. Also, our defensive line will be greatly reinforced with more experienced returners as well as Margus part deux. I think our Linebackers will come out to play this next year. Our secondary should be solid as well.

Experience, experience, experience. Guys will be bigger/faster/stronger.

Reasons for Wins:
- TCU game is won thanks to a Weak TCU offense led by mr boykin. If our defense comes to play this year, and we run the ball deep, this one is on the bag.
- UCF loses Bortles. Nuff said
- We should cruise past Cincy down the middle with our running game. We play at Ford too..
- UNT is several tiers below our team...this won't even be close. 49-24 SMU
- Others will lose to us due to us being the better team

Baylor: TCU played them real close last year and UCF blew them out the entire game. Key to win here will be running game.

AGGY: I just don't see us beating a team with a 5 star QB, and top of the line recruits in every position. In my opinion Aggy wins the SEC west next year...

One way to arrange it:

Leave no doubt games: UNT, UConn, USF, Memphis, Tulsa, ECU
Protect our house games: TCU, Texas A&M, Houston, Cincinnati
Tough road: Baylor, UCF
