The Extremely Early 2020 Schedule Review

[Good Tweetman]

Well...this season sucked. Time to look forward to 2020, the year it officially becomes the Future.

Next year’s schedule is unquestionably harder.

That second half of the season is nightmarish.

With how much Purdue has improved. If we dont make changes to our system and playcalling we could start 0-1 at home. Just about zero gimmies there outside of Rutgers and UCM.

 

[Cy the Cyclone]

I see 9 wins here...

Purdue

UCM

South Dakota State

Cincinnati

Northwestern

Illinois

Rutgers

Iowa

Minnesota?

I don’t think Cinci Iowa or Minnesota should be assumed wins

I don’t disagree but if we were to get 9 wins that would be the most likely route

To be sure I don’t expect 9 wins

 

[Celsus]

That game against Purdue is sooooooooooooooooooo important

 

[Cy the Cyclone]

Purdue

UCM

South Dakota State

Cincinnati

Northwestern

Illinois

Rutgers

Iowa

Minnesota?

I didn't say by who...

See what I did there...?

Purdue is the wildcard, win that and I see 6 wins, lose that and we need to scramble for a 6th win somewhere. I'll remain optimistic and go the positive path.

Purdue - win

Central Michingan - win

SDSU - win

Cincy - loss

Northwestern - win

Illinois - win

Rutgers - win

Ohio State - loss

Penn State - loss

Iowa - loss

Wisconsin - loss

Minnesota - loss

6-6. Bowl game? I'll stay the optimistic path and say we beat the non power 5 school we play and finish the year 7-6.

If we lose to Purdue, I think we may be able to scavenge a win vs Iowa, but then I could also see us losing to Illinois. Who knows.

Heck, knowing our luck Rutgers new head coach, whoever that will be, will only take him 3 weeks to rebuild that mess in New Jersey and Rutgers will be bowl eligible by the time we play them.

I see 9 wins here...

6-7 tops, unfortunately

Looks like another 5-7. When do pitchers and catchers report?
