So I've been looking at our schedule for awhile now (mainly to see which game I can make it back for) and it worries me. Our schedule is set up perfectly if we were a title contending team with all the top teams coming to BSFS. Unfortunately though this year, whether we like it or not, is a rebuilding year. Now before you jump on me a rebuilding year can still be 7/8 wins but what I mean is we most likely won't be a 10+ win team. Anyways here is the schedule with what I think the chances of winning each game is next to it.
Here is where my concern comes in. My worry is that we will have a young team that will more likely than not be 3-4 going into a critical game @TT. Being a team with a "bad" record can really take a toll on a team mentally and I'm not sure that this team will have the leaders to overcome that.
I guess what I'm getting at is that the way our schedule lines up I don't have a lot of faith going into this season to be a productive one. If I were a betting man I'd bet we make a bowl but like I said this is a young team with an early road test at UTSA and a tougher than most realize non-con game vs La Tech. Even assuming they come out of that unscathed they could take four straight loses where some could even be embarrassing at home vs TCU and Baylor.
Anyways if someone who isn't an incredible homer could talk me off the "bowl bubble" ledge as I call it that'd be wonderful.
- S. Dakota - 99%
- @ UTSA - 80%
- La. Tech - 85%
- @ OSU - 30%
- TCU - 30%
- OU - 35%
- @ UT - 45%
- Baylor - 35%
- @ TT - 55%
- ISU - 80%
- @ KU - 95%
- WVU - 75%
