How Many MORE Games Do You Expect To Win?

[Cerebus]

7 games left on the schedule, how many more do you expect us to win:

• Marshall (1-3)
• @Army (3-1)
• @UTSA (1-3)
• LaTech (2-3)
• @WKU (3-2)
• Southern Miss (4-1)
• @UTEP (1-4)

 

[UNTFan23]

I think we could win against either UTEP or UTSA (or both).

[THOR]

i said 3 just so i could get to my 5-7 prediction...have no idea why i thought the boys would win 5 games this year...but hopeful

Those are my picks as well. Any more than that will be icing. 

[Ryan Munthe]

Marshall

UTEP

UTSA

(LaTech I'm on the fence.)

3.

[pastorgrant]

UTEP, UTSA, and one more is my guess.

[MGNation92]

I think we'll end up beating the UT schools and that's it. 4-8 at best, 3-9 more likely

[@UNTSportsFan]

My Rank of difficulty : 

1- @UTSA

2- @UTEP

3- Marshall 

4- @ ARMY 

5- La Tech 

6- Southern Miss 

7- @ WKU 

 

 

[wardly]

Split with UTEP and UTSA. Marshall best chance to win at home. 3&9 at best.

[golfingomez]

give me three more, UTSA, UTEP and a surprise victory in there, maybe So. Miss.

[outoftown]

If UNT beats UTSA and UTEP, it'll be the best Texas team in C-USA. Isn't there a trophy of some sort for that?

This.  Before the season, I thought Army.  However, their defense looks to be really good giving up 13, 14, 14, and 23 to start the season 3-1. 

The most impressive part to their 3-1 start to me is that they've played three of their first four on the road.  They only have five home games on their schedule this year.  Guess their AD sucks, huh?

Guys, they are traveling to San Antonio to play Notre Dame on November 12:  http://www.notredametravel.com/football/army/

So, AD gives up a home game to go play Notre Dame in San Antonio.

Again...why are some here against playing a big name opponent if it would mean doing so at JerryWorld?  JerryWorld is up the road a piece.  Army is going halfway across the country to play a neutral field game in what we call, rightly or wrongly, "The Alamo City."

I picked 2.  I agree wholeheartedly with this ranking:

I think we might be about even with UTSA, UTEP's probably a little better than us.  But we should at least win one of those 2, so that plus stealing one other somewhere like we did at Rice will get us 2 more.

I think I picked us to win 3 at the beginning of the year, so I have no right to complain if we win 4.

[oldguystudent]

Seven plus retroactive forfeitures by SMU, Florida, and MUTS. 

[Matt from A700]

UTSA, UTEP, and one of our remaining home games.

[Rudy]

Why deal with parking and concessions at the Death Star just to get massacred?  We should play an annual game with $mut at the Cotton Bowl during the fair.

[greenminer]

Voted 2.

I say we have one sure-fire win left.  On top of that, we'll probably win one more we aren't supposed to.

[Moobs]

Expect?  0 is the answer.  We've already met my wishful thinking for this year.

How many do I think we'll win based on what we've seen so far? 2 more

How many would I like to see them win?  4 more and a bowl victory!

[Got5onIt]

Well, I predicted 3-9, so I voted 1 more.

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

If we just beat the teams with losing records, we are bowl eligible. Not sure how good Marshall is due to their weird schedule to start the season, but if we win that game I'll change my prediction from 3 more wins to 4. Optimistically, obviously. The curve is probably set at 2-3 wins.

[EagleGreen]

I think UTEP is our best bet to get one more.  Massey says 38% chance, down from 42% last week.

[SilverEagle]

I expect them to show up to every game with their "I didn't come here to lose" t-shirts on under their jerseys. 

So my expectation is that they win all seven remaining games. 

I may sound delusional, but I'm sick to death of the word "realistically". It's become our rationalization word for underachieving.

But all those teams have wins.  We have yet to show that we can beat a team with any wins.

Get what you're saying but Marshall's only win is against an FCS team. Had Rice played an FCS team to start off the year, they would probably have at least 1 win as well. Instead, Rice started off against Western Kentucky, Army, Baylor, us, and Southern Miss. Not sure our record would be any different had we played those teams to start off the season. By season's end, we will be better, but to start off? We would probably be 0-5 or 1-4 too (win against Rice). 

Marshall is better than their record indicates though...

[VideoEagle]

I think two more wins to go 4-8. Before the season I thought 2 to maybe 3 was our best chance but we appear to be a little better this year than expected and some in CUSA seem to be a little worse. Since the professionals who cover CUSA teams for a living thought we'd only have two wins all year at best, we are ahead in our rebuilding.
