I would like for this to be true.  I would take 7-5.  I fear more likely 5-7 or 4-8.

Not too much of a stretch.  We finished last year ranked #66 on the CBS Rankings: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/rankings/cbs-sports-rankings/

Your fear is unreasonable. I see 7 wins on the schedule with no major upsets. La Tech, FIU, ACU should all be wins. Navy is breaking in a new headcoach after a 4-win season. Temple is coming off a 3 win season although their passing game may trouble us. Tulsa is coming off a 5 win season. We're better than UAB, we just pooped the bed last year. There's 7.

Then I can see us beating Memphis. We played well enough to win last year if it weren't for 2 pick sixes. I can also see us beating Cal. They have a huge question mark at QB. Their projected 2 deep at QB have a combined total of 6 passing attempts in their college careers.

The rest would be pretty good upsets. With good coaching, we're bound to at least steal 1.

Others in CBS ranking: Tulna (9), UTSA (24, a top 25 in other polls as well), SMU (58), Memphis (69), UAB (74), Cal (86), Tulsa (92), Navy (103), LaTech (118), Temple (119), and FIU (125). So that's four opponents ranked ahead of UNT. A Nystrom poll also has just four opponents (Tulane, Memphis, SMU, and Cal) ahead of us.

Teams of note:

Tulane at #9.  Never thought I would see that.

Think the Aggie faithful are happy paying Jimbo a gagillion dollars for a preseason ranking of  71?

Cal-Berkley at 86.

Never thought I would see the day when NMSU was ranked ahead of Va Tech.

James Madison at 34.

I was looking at the CUSA conference: I would guess WKU or LATech should be favored to win it all.  I forgot how many bowl tie ins they have but it will be interesting to see who goes.  Heck UTEP may win it all.
