So, being new to the Pac 12 Fandom, what's the realistic expectations for the Sun Devils?

Here is their schedule, along with my predictions:

9/3 - vs. Northern Arizona (WIN)
9/10 - vs Texas Tech (WIN)
9/16 - at UTSA (WIN)
9/24 - vs California (WIN)
10/1 - at USC (LOSS)
10/8 - vs UCLA (LOSS)
10/15 - at Colorado (WIN)
10/22 - vs Washington State (WIN)
10/29 - at Oregon (LOSS)
11/10 - vs Utah (LOSS)
11/19 - at Washington (LOSS)
11/25 - at Arizona (WIN)

That would leave them 7-5, which to me isn't a terrible record.

Based on how teams looked week 1, I wouldn't be surprised with a 4-8 record due to the rebuilding roster

4-8 would likely signal the end of Graham's tenure.

I think Colorado is much better than maybe I originally thought. TT isn't going to be easy, but I still think we'll win.

6-6 is looking more likely, and that's without any upsets.

I like what Graham has done, I hope he'd have a longer leash than that. A school ASU's size needs more help from alumni and boosters.

I see Tech, Cal, and Colorado being tight contests

8 and 4 with a mediocre bowl

I'd take that and run with it.

I don't think we beat Colorado on the road, but I do think we split with the LA schools.

Not a terrible job. Totally missed on Colorado and Washington State's talent.
