Should be a reality check for anyone thinking 9 wins is likely this year. That’s what the expectation would be for a top 5 team…

Do people actually think that’s possible? I’d be surprised if we get a bowl game
I would say 7 should be expected this year. I can get to 8 pretty easily iyam. The big thing is you need to take care of business against teams you have more talent than.

You beat
  1. Illinois
  2. FU
  3. BWWu
  4. Sparty
  5. Northwestern
  6. Purdue
Then you have your toss ups...
  1. Michigan
  2. Minnesota
  3. Cockeye
Them you have the top 10 teams on your schedule...
  1. Oklahoma
  2. Ohio state
  3. Wisconsin
You just have to take care of the teams you should and then don't beat yourself on the other 6.

Just a lot don't have faith in this staff to do what I just described and that is well earned at this point.

I agree completely. This staff has shown me nothing to expect anything.

I see is going 1-2 in the toss up games and likely losing a game we shouldn’t.
 
I don’t think using SOS projections are very accurate
Let’s check back at the end of the year
Outside of Oklahoma & Ohio St
Our schedule isn’t that difficult
6 wins seem expected then u have 4 50/50 games that if u split, ur at 8 wins
 
We aren't very good as is, but our schedule is still very tough.

Makes for a bad combo.

We already lost one of our top 3 or 4 easiest games. From here on out, it's teams we probably have little chance of hanging with - basically 3 or 4 teams on our schedule we don't have much chance.. A few teams we should probably beat, but we haven't exactly been winning many of those games against teams we should be beating. "Toss ups" hasn't been our forte, either. Which is why Frost is at a 38% winning percentage. We lose, a lot.

OU, OSU, Michigan, Wisky and Cockeye right now are teams that are definitely above our level of current play, and several of them above our current team talent level. "Could" we beat some/any of them - sure. But the breaks would have to go our way and we would have to get out of our own way to boot.
