DRC: We are approaching 100 picks -- most of them optimistic -- entering the final hours to enter this year's Get Your Rear on the Record contest

[Tom McKrackin]

I'm going to say 8-5, including a bowl win.

That often leads the AD to have to face calls to hire the interim on a full time basis if the team marginally improves under interim leadership. That likely causes a big headache and distraction during the hiring process, especially if one of the too donors takes a liking to the interim.

I think the best plan is to know by mid-November what you plan to do and implement that plan as soon as the players leave the locker room of the last game. During that late November period, if you have decided to move on from the current coach, you quietly make sure your top targets are interested and available. You have an informal deal in place the day of the last regular season game and pull the hire trigger on the earliest day allowed by law after that.

Well said. Never understood the move to promote a coordinator to interim HC *unless* you are strongly considering hiring them as HC and want a trial run. If you're just doing it because you needed to fire the HC and nothing else, there's little to no long-term benefits in doing this in-season.

I'm right there with @Brett Vito

Win - TSU, UNLV, FAU, FIU, Rice, and either LATech or WKU.
Loss - UTEP, SMU, Memphis, UTSA, UAB, and either LATech or WKU.

6-6 my friends!    Then we'll get to a bowl game against another 6-or-7-win team (I like the Kent St in the Bahamas bowl prediction), and get waxed again.

Bahamas against Kent State is worse than no bowl game…

Put me down for 8-5 including a bowl win.  The defense is going to surprise a lot of folks and the passing game is going to emerge again.

[Greendylan]

It's the first day of the season, which is a time for optimism, so I'll lean toward positivity and say 7-6.

[NT91]

9-3 baby!!

[El Paso Eagle]

Being overly optimistic I will go seven and six because of the weak schedule we played. However, I see us taking a loss in the bowl game.

[GRN-WHT]

5-7

[Mean Green 93-98]

Drinking a little Kool-Aid today; I'll go 8-5.
