Re: What will our record be?
I hate to say it, but 9-3. I think we lose the BSU game (though I'm about 60-40 at best on that) because of our o-line and how key that is to our offense. I think we lose to either Cal or OSU because our d-line won't be more than average unless someone really steps up and those are two teams that can run. I think we lose to USC because they're USC. I think the sky is the limit this year, what with a few VERY good playmakers and a very favorable Pac-10 schedule, but I think the lack of experience at our most important position, o-line, will hurt as pretty bad.

WOW!
Fully 2/3 of you peeps think we will win at least 10 games. Serious homers here, lol! Personally, I think given all the things going against us, we'll be LUCKY to finish 8-4. I honestly think 2010 will be our year to make a serious run at 12-0. But then I remember losing to teams like San Jose St. by the score of 5-0 so I'm a little tempered in my expectations. And yes, I did go to the first game at Autzen and I am an old F**ker.

I don't think 10-2 is a homer pick, but 12-0 certainly is. That's why polls like this aren't very realistic.

Re: What will our record be?
I said this before on a different thread. We will know how good our team is when we play Cal. If we are 4-1 after playing cal this will be a good year. I acutally think despite their running game.. I think we will find a way to beat Cal. More because after them ebating us last few years we will find a way to beat them. If we lose to Cal.. then obviously we will lose to USC as well and possibly OSU. I think the Cal game will be the most ciritical in determining where this team will go.

Majority have picked 11-1 or 10-2. If we play up to our potential, neither of those records are out of reach.duckgrad99 wrote:I don't think 10-2 is a homer pick, but 12-0 certainly is. That's why polls like this aren't very realistic.
*BTW I had a dream last night we were losing to Boise State and struggled to move the football. Excellent sign, my dreams rarely come true.

10-2 is a lot more realistic. I thought only fans of teams like Ohio State and Tennessee pick their teams to go undefeated every year.

Re: What will our record be?
I'd say losing to BSU wouldn't be falling apart but instead never putting it together. We all need to realize BSU is a mediocre team that benefited greatly from an injury last year. People can say that I'm making excuses but this team was NOT together for 3 quarters last year and we will be this year.
