I just wish I was tailgating right now.

I’ve been thinking about Stanford.

1. They lost their coach, whom I beleive was a great one.
2. Apparently they lost many recievers
3. They lost three offensive linemen
4. There defenese was rarely tested as their offense was on the field so much

I do not expect the offense to be as good. I do not expect Stanford, overall, to be as good. Playing here in the heat, I think we can winn that game. It will be tough but we can do it. However, Stanford still has to be favored.

For what it's worth, here's what I think:

NAU - W

OSU - L

Stanford - L

Oregon - L

USC - W (I got a feeling about this game, I don't think USC is as good as everyone thinks because I think Kiffin's a great coordinator, terrible head coach - he reminds me of Josh McDaniels).

UCLA - W

Washington - L (Unlike Kiffin, Sarkissian can coach and the game's in Seattle)

Utah - W (pick 'em, actually, but since there are no ties anymore, I'm going with my homies)

Colorado - W

ASU - L

ULL - W

Final record = 6-6.

That said, ASU, Utah, Washington, USC and Stanford (I think Luck and Foles could get into a ridiculous shoot out) games could all go the other way, which would make them 7-5. Seven and five with this schedule and this kiddie corps offensive line and shredded-knee defense would be an incredible accomplishment.

6&6 is close enough. I predict 5&7

No need to repost; it lives on forever on the internet ... but good or bad, I'll live with the prediction, own up to it either way.

Predictions are mostly bunk for the very reasons you state -- one mistake, a couple of plays here and there, could swing the season a couple of games in either direction. And who knows about injuries.

But, hey, it's fun to speculate and try to put a smidge of logic behind it ... and then whatever happens, happens. Let the games begin.

I think we win one at home against Oregon or Stanford. Then we win the close ones without any bonehead moves from the coaching staff. Be aggressive and bear down. Let Foles air it out.

Great article. But will you repost this at the end of the season to see just how good it was??? Come on do it!
You do great work but……I think they will do better. These pre-season predictions are bunk. One mistake either way can be big. Like keeping A. Zendejas off the field (please) Or a pass bounce the wrong way.
