10-2. I hope we can give both Oregon and OSU a game.
the post right above your 9-3 prediction, but i don’t think we beat iowa, either

Duke - loss
SIU - win
OSU - loss
Purdue - win
MSU -loss
Oregon - loss
Maryland - win
Nebraska - loss
UCLA - loss
Iowa - loss
Northwestern - loss
4-8
You might be right. We won't be favored against Iowa but that's the kind of "upset" Bielema is good at pulling off.
Have the same feeling so I'm going with 8-4.
UAB - W
Duke - W
SIU - W
OSU - L
Purdue - W
MSU - W
Oregon - L
Maryland - W
Nebraska - W
UCLA - L
Iowa - L
Northwestern - W
we are beating iowa.
I'm not extremely high on this team because we have absolutely no clue what the QB situation is going to look like. 4-8 suggests a complete offensive bust paired with a suspect defense.
8-4 isn't an unreasonable guess, I think 4-8 is harsh, but there's also a lot of questions in more than a handful of areas.
I kick a field goal and say 6-6. I don't think we lose to Duke at home and I don't think we lose to NW. OSU and Oregon are the only absolute L's(in my mind).
We'll lose a couple we should have won and vice versa. .500 seems to be a fair assumption.

In 2023, we finished ranked #75 in SP+ and went 5-7. This season, we’re preseason ranked #33 and you’re projecting 4-8!?
On the positive side if we aren't in a bowl game we might get one of our tight ends to come over to basketball and be our 9th man.In 2023, we finished ranked #75 in SP+ and went 5-7. This season, we’re preseason ranked #33 and you’re projecting 4-8!?

Same. I think the lines are gonna need time to gel and not sure we have the right combo of talent and experience there yet. It's always tough at first installing a new defensive scheme. Kicking game is an unknown at this point, as well. Our offense could be elite, though, if Hauser is truly the real deal.
I still think 7-5 is a solid season in what is supposed to be a "step back" year.

Iowa gave up 30 points zero times last year. Please let this happen.
