I think there's just too many unknowns about this team, especially with the weak schedule that we have this year, to make any kind of valid prediction. With Chizik having a full year with this team now and the progress that the team showed last year, we could always surprise a lot of people this year ala Colorado and pull in 7-8 wins this year. Of course, with all of the new faces, this year could always be a step back for us and we end up with 3-4 wins. I think that's why the popular prediction is for us to win 5-6 games. People tend to figure we'll win at least 3 of our first 4 games, leaving us to just needing to win 2-3 conference games to meet the expectation. And with the schedule this year as weak as it is, it's a possibility (although I'm not necessarily counting on it).
