5-7 would be likely
6-6 would be great
7-5 or better would be unreal.

I am in this boat...

I think I'm in this boat. 3 wins when you've got SD State, Kent State, Baylor, Iowa and UNLV on the schedule is a BAD year. I think you have to win 4-5 games to feel like you're not taking a step back, and I'm pretty optimistic about that prospect. I don't think that 6-6 is out of the picture at all, and I wouldn't be SHOCKED to see a 7 win year (SD State, Kent State, Iowa, Baylor, UNLV, Nebraska (new coach)/K-State (not impressive last year at the end, though could be better)/Colorado(Maybe due to take a step back this year?)/A&M (new coach)- pick 2), though I would be pretty surprised, and quite ecstatic.


edit:
Cliff's notes for SH for clarity:
I'm expecting anywhere from 4-6 wins this year. I am NOT expecting 10 wins or more.

Thank you.

we can easily win the 4 non conference games vs iowa,south dakota state,kent state,and unlv, we should beat baylor, we could find 2 or 3 more wins in the conference,like nebraska,okie state, colorado,kansas state,kansas, and texas a&m would be awesome, sedrick johnson will have a game like todd blythe had in 05 against a&m, i just realized how easy our schedule this year is, but i'm probably just drinking to much of the cool aid, but i could see this team do very well, cause i remember almost beating oklahoma last year, that wouldve made my year last year

at least we aren't a "likely win" on any of our opponents schedules!!
