[Liver]

damn. that is a tough slate to see 6+ wins on. going to need to beat some teams we haven't had much or any luck with.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Finishing with Washington and Utah on a short week is rough ending

Edit: That's just a brutally tough schedule all around. Also, having one of the "away" games being played in Denver is nice

 

[Duff Man]

Have to be at least .500 after the Arizona game. If not, it is going to be an ugly season.

 

[NautiBuff1]

Wow, we're gonna need EVERYTHING to fall in our favor to get 6-7 wins. But I'm still giddy for the season... Sko Buffs!!!

 

[SewallBeach]

7-5

 

[Duff Man]

OOC games on Sept. 11:
Minnesota @ CU

Oregon @ Ohio State
Utah @ BYU
Washington @ Michigan

Overall we got pretty lucky with who our opponents are playing the week before us, other than ucla having a bye week before we travel there. Very tough schedule though, not only a good OOC slate but the pac 12 is going to be a very very good football conference this year.

OOC games on Sept. 11:

Cal @ TCU

Utah @ BYU
Washington @ Michigan

our game on 9/11 is A&M, not Minny. That's a big weekend for the Pac-12.

If we play UNC on Friday that’s the 3rd not the 4th. I’m assuming the date is the typo not the day of the week, right?

Also that Utah game is the 26th. Our graphics department must be having trouble with Friday’s.

Plati has it 9/3 (Friday)

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

September game in Tempe... Good thing it's at night, but probably still going to be 90+

 

[Bison]

7 wins max for this team. UNC, Minnesota, @ASU, UA, @Cal, OSU, and UW.

Will HCKD wear shorts?

 

[Bread]

I see 5-7 and I don't really see any way we do better than that if the defense looks even half as bad as it did post Nate Landman

 

[Bread]

7 wins max for this team. UNC, Minnesota, @ASU, UA, @Cal, OSU, and UW.

I guess maybe you could convince me we have a chance against UW. Maybe. But if you think we are beating ASU ,I'm going to have to disagree heavily.

I tend to agree with the 7 win max number, but I believe UCLA and Utah are in that mix as well, especially getting Utah after they play Oregon

A&M, SC, Oregon are the only no hopers, IMO

 

[BuffinCali]

I don't see a team on this schedule that can beat the Buffs. 12-0 followed by a victory in the Pac-12 Championship, I am liking the chances of getting into the BCS final

 

[married2abuff]

We're beating U$C at home this year, dammit.

 

[Bison]

If the Buffs had played ASU last season and beat them, that would be four wins over them in the last five seasons. Right now it's three out of the last four games so CU beating ASU in Tempe is doable. ASU has been hyped like this and got burnt before so I'm not necessarily buying the hype they are a South contender.

We beat UW last time they visited and that was even with Petersen as the HC.

I agree too but I don't feel comfortable with putting those two in the W column. I would be estastic to be wrong when it come to both UCLA & Utah. I can't stand losing to those two.

 

[Duff Man]

Such a week-to-week league. I could see very competitive games against ASU and USC, but also getting smoked at Cal and Utah.

I'm not putting them in the W column, I just think they are winnable games. Oregon, USC and A&M don't feel like games CU will be very competitive in, short of Brendan Lewis being some phenom in year two.

Good catch. Pac-12 has a real chance to make a statement (one way or the other) in the OOC schedule.

 

[Daaah]

2-10

I think you are right and the Buffs would have 9 wins max. That would make for a good second season under HCKD. Seems like we are pretty much on the same page in this situation.

9 wins on this schedule would put KD as Pac 12 COY again most likely. I still think it's 7 wins max, I just think they have 9 realistic chances to get there.

And a contract extension for HCKD.

 

[Not Sure]

Go to a bowl game with that schedule and KD should get a statue.
