Allbuffs Season Prediction Thread (Prepare to be mocked later)

Bowl Game?

  • Total voters
    81
  • Poll closed .
Season record 8-6 (low level bowl win against far inferior opponent in some backwoods no-fun location - I haven't forgotten you @Skidmark)
Best chance for upset: Stanford
Best offensive player: Spruce
Best defensive player: Crawley
Breakout player: Keeney
Disappointing player: Adkins
Bold predictions: Mac gets PAC-12 COY for getting back to bowl eligibility and getting moral victories over Ore. and USC
 
Season record 5-8. The ceiling for this team is 6-7. 7-7 or 8-6 would be a miracle.

Bold prediction: Slider and Tini make it until post-Oregon loss before their next bans.

CSU is an upset this year? I'm very curious what the line will be for that game because it will actually be based on two weeks of play and not just speculation

That's cool. Hope to see you there. I still haven't forgotten option 2 that involves a hooters waitstaff uniform. But our final agreement is much more civilized.
 
Season record 4-9
Best chance for upset: Stanford
Best offensive player: Spruce
Best defensive player: Tedric
Breakout player: McCartney
Disappointing player: Sefo
Bold predictions: Buffs win a close one over CSU thanks to a late 4th quarter Pick-6 from Jered Bell.

We beat Oregon but go only 2-6 after that?

Yes. We upset them in Boulder because they will overlook us. By the time we played the rest of the Pac12, the other teams wake up and will know not to overlook us. Plus I think we have a hangover after that game going in to Tempe.

Fair enough. As valid as any wild ass guess on this thread :)

Teams didn't learn that after last year?
 
5 Wins
Upset AZ
Best O- Spruce
Best D- Tedric
I think the TE group disappoints again
Someone on special teams will return either a punt or a kick for a TD.

Right now we're in the same ballpark but yeah, we should expect to be underdogs. The first five rankings that list 128 teams from a "fbs preseason rankings" google search:
SB Nation: CSU 59 CU 70
CBS Sports: CSU 61 CU 80
compughterratings.com: CSU 62 CU 83
USA Today: CSU 73 CU 92
The Power Rank: CSU 68 CU 74

But you're right, because they play Savannah St but also Minnesota, while we have Hawaii and Massachusetts. If we're both 2-0 or we drop a game, the gap will widen. If they drop a game we may be favored, but if we also drop a game it will stay roughly the same or get worse. I don't have to believe it myself to guess we'll be the underdogs. We're never going to get much credit until after we win games.

Those rankings are complete garbage
-'Tini
 
6-7
Best chance for upset: Arizona
Best offensive player: Spruce
Best defensive player: Crawley
Breakout player: Awini
Disappointing player: Kickers (They cost us a game and a bowl this year)
Bold prediction: Awini breaks out and earns himself honorable mention all-conference
 
Season record: 6-7 (3-6)
Best chance for an upset: Stanford
Best offensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): Nelson Spruce
Best defensive player (or player most likely to be all-conference): Tedric Thompson
Breakout player: Sean Irwin
Most disappointing player: Justin Solis
Bold prediction: Win more conference games on the road than at home

There are some sportsbooks that have early lines on games throughout the season. The Golden Nugget's line for CU-CSU opened at CU -1 and then moved all the way to CU -5 due to early action on the Buffs. I can't find the current lines (the source below is from late June), but I think the Buffs will end up favored in this game.

All you folks who are predicting CSU as an automatic win because "they lost so much, including their best QB in years" might want to re-think that. Their all-world QB from last year apparently isn't very good:
