If there's a sign of some sort of a system being put in place, i.e. the lines being solid no matter what, and the team looks like they know what they're purpose is, that's already improvement.

Not much difference between "4 or more" and "5-6 wins"... But that's where I am. If they win 4 I am OK, any more than that and I am encouraged.

I do think they have a shot at a bowl, <50%, but a decent chance. Just depends how fast they learn new systems.

Its hard to believe we are still undefeated. I just hope the fans don't go all Prohm on Campbell after 4 games.

Here's how the season will go:

UNI - we win 38-10
Iowa - we win 14-13
TCU - we lose 35-31
San Jose St. - we win 42-17
Baylor - we lose 49-24
Oklahoma St. - we lose 48-34
Texas - we win 27-24
Kansas St. - we win 30-20
Oklahoma - we lose 56-21
Kansas - we win 41-14
Texas Tech - we win 49-45
West Virginia - we win 28-24

8-4 with a 5-4 conference record. If all of these predictions come true, I better win some cool prize.

Dude, those are some ambitious predictions! I dig it, but I think 3 games that could go either way are Texas Tech, WVU, and the team from Iowa City, that seems to think their crap smells like roses, whose name will not be mentioned.
