scUM is 5-7 on the top end, most likely 3-9 again though.

Pretty good. I was picking 8-4 ish until they started 4-1 and then I got greedy and became one of those clowns calling for 10 wins.

Biscuit–how many wins did you predict for ND last year?

DTK–I think the Skunbears will be better, but 8 wins is a stretch. As I see it, the biggest problem you had last year was no QB and while I’m no Threet booster, I don’t see either of your freshman or the boy wonder from Duke playing any better. I think a respectably defense, good running game, and no QB should be good for 5 or 6 wins.

Biscuit, so we should expect no improvement? Another 3-9 season? You guys went 7-6 last year and sucked as much as UM did the year before. How am I so far off? I’m calling for roughly the same record as ND had last year.

Nice of you to call Threet decent, outside of immediate family members I’m not sure anyone else would have.

heh. PSU loses a lot, but you guys already SUCKED. MSU loses their 2 playmakers, but you already SUCKED. OSU didn’t suck, and won’t suck, and you already SUCKED. You dont have a prayer. UM (s!) not losing a lot (except your only decent QB) doesnt help you, it hurts you. You’re exactly like the foolish ND fans that were shocked when we were mediocre last year. It’s your right, and I appreciate the homerism as I’m a big fan of doing that for ND, but man you are off.

Biscuit & SD, I actually accept buy the “one year lagging” ND premise. The main reason I say 7-5 or 8-4 is that I really think UM’s schedule is a bit easier than ND’s was last year. PSU & MSU lose a lot from last year, Ill is goingto be zooked at some point. Even OSU looks beatable (if I’ve had enough beer). Who knows, still 4.5 months away, I reserve the right to chnage my mind.

DTK–I have to agree with the Biscuit. UM is about where ND was last year, except you don’t have Clausen, or any other QB who had a full year and a spring to learn your offense. And while your running game may give you hope, you’ll be facing a whole lot of 8 man fronts until Little Man Tate proves he can make adjustments at the line and hit open receivers. I’m not saying he can’t do it, but based on ND’s recent experience, I’d say the odds are not in your favor.
