hskrpwr13 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Surprised they're picking Wisconsin considering their schedule. Even if they lose to OSU, if everything else falls as CFN predicts, they'll win the West and have a very respectable record. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 This is exactly how our season will unfold it TA doesn't improve at all from last year. Quote Link to comment

Even if they lose to OSU, if everything else falls as CFN predicts, they'll win the West and have a very respectable record. That might be the 1st set of picks I've seen having Wisky winning the West. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Wisconsin?! They must think Corey Clement is going to be better than Melvin Gordon. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Pretty reasonable. I would guess they gave the edge to NW and Wiscy at home but I really think we have a great chance to win both those games as well. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 The Wisconsin love is crazy. Like, they lost the (arguably) best DC in the conference, and their D was the only thing keeping them in it (like NW) last year. It would not shock me at all to see them enter November with 2 or 3 wins. Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Seems fair but I can see DONU get another win or two. Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 This is about the most vanilla prediction I've seen so far. Flip flopping NW and Iowa results would be the only way this could be more conservative. I can get the overall record, but given the nature of this team, I'd be more inclined to see a surprise loss and a surprise victory, than a straight forward prediction like this. To each their own, I guess. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 They also have Michigan losing at Iowa. Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Call me crazy but I can't really argue against anyone that would confidently pick Wisconsin to beat us, all things considered. Quote Link to comment

cfullm1 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I think with a full year and off season under Riley and a couple of cake opponents the first 2 weeks, we very well could beat Ore. at home. This isn't the Oregon team of the past, new QB and no Scott Frost. i also don't agree with the NW loss and Wisc. both games were ours for the taking last year. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I think with a full year and off season under Riley and a couple of cake opponents the first 2 weeks, we very well could beat Ore. at home. This isn't the Oregon team of the past, new QB and no Scott Frost. i also don't agree with the NW loss and Wisc. both games were ours for the taking last year. This is what gives me the most hope for this year. We were so close in so many of the losses..... I sure do not see us regressing at all. Even with the loss on DL. Might be a trade off in better secondary and LB play to off set inexperience at DL. (Although I expect the DL to be better this year). Again, better back end play might help them. Can't remember if it was Banker, but said the number of LB's, their experience and versatility will allow him to use them in a lot more ways than last year. I see us winning the "close" games this year based on year 2. From the above schedule I see 2 losses. Oregon and OSU. Both based on reputation alone. (OSU also based on last season and HC) Quote Link to comment
