[QUOTE="Deleted member 236589, post: 1435435"] Find 7 games on the remaining schedule that you believe we'll be favored in. East Tennessee State, Florida Atlantic, Rutgers(Home) and Penn State(Home)? Where are you possibility seeing 7-13 in conference. We're already 0-2. You think this team has the horses to go 7-11? Find me the 7 conference games that you feel "good" about us winning. Lets be positive and say we beat Missouri, East Tennessee State and Florida Atlantic. We'd be 6-7 with 18 conference games remaining. I think 4-14 is our best case scenario. That puts us at 10-21. It stinks to lay it out like that, but it's what it is. Of the major conferences (ACC, SEC, Big 10, Big 12, SEC and Big East)....we'd finish in the bottom three of every one of them. So yes, we are one of the worst teams in the country. Being positive, 10-21 might not even be a failure if we're playing and developing young players. Maybe we'll be scrappy at the end...who knows? To say they're going to win 7 conference games is just pulling a number out of the air. I would LOVE to be wrong. Thrilled to be! However with the remaining schedule, the talent level and the experience level of this club....if we get to 13 wins, that would be a wildly successful season. [/QUOTE]
