Snyder made a career of playing an easy early schedule to get his teams to believe they could win. You guys essentially get an extended one of those and should be rolling by those last two weeks. You guys should either be firing on all cylinders and a formidable opponent for anyone; or be coasting in cruise control in which case you'll run into a brick wall... or two.Only because we play a JV schedule the first 10 games... But if we can miraculously win all 10 then things will be interesting the last 2 home games.
I keep wanting to say UCLA. I really like the Hundley kid and that LB/RB Jack is amazing. So them... I guess. I could also see Wiscy getting over the hump. But yes, I know, some of us say that every year.
That's what I thought we were talking about. UCLA should be hovering around 10 to open the season and Wiscy around 15. I'd say anyone who the pundits put outside of the top 6-8 are not expected to make a serious run at a national title. Doesn't mean they can't be highly regarded.UCLA is going to start in the top 15 if not top 10 for sure. Wisky will most likely start in the top 15. Are those considered sleeper teams? Maybe sleeper teams for a national title I suppose.

That's tough, I wanna say Ole Miss but their division is brutal.

-I agree with Penn St. also. I actually have us losing to them this year.
I hope you're right, but I think our Oline is too big of a question mark at this point. Our defense will be very stout. I think next year is when we will make a run at the NC. As much as I detest the bRuins, this could be their year.I'm gonna go homer and throw my Trojans in there as a sleeper. Personally, I think we finish at about 10-2 or 9-3. But, if we can stay relatively injury free and catch a couple of breaks along the way, we could finish 11-1 or even 12-0.
On the other hand, if we get hit with injuries at positions where we're thin, we could go 8-4 or 7-5.
A lot of the talk is TCU may be poised to make some noise this year, they are a scary team heading into the season. Probably deserve more respect than they are getting.

UCLA....the Bruins are going to have a Heisman candidate QB in Brett Hundley. I really think they have a shot at the NC. Many folks are correctly predicting they will win the PAC12 South, but then they get lost in the conversation because of the love fest over the Oregon (they were seriously exposed last year) and Stanford.
