2015 Rice Football season predictions
A place to memorialize how inept we all are at predicting the future! I'll go with 10-2 and an appearance in the CUSA title game.
Wagner - W
Texas - W
N. Texas - W
Baylor - L
WKU - L
FAU - W
Army - W
LaTech - W
UTEP - W
So. Miss - W
UTSA - W
Charlotte - W
Rice doesn't lay any eggs in 2015, but does have one scare against an unassuming CUSA opponent. Rice gets a close upset win over Texas (after Texas beats Notre Dame).
WKU ends the regular season as a top-25 team, but does not win CUSA East after Marshall beats them in the regular season finale. Marshall, against a joke of a schedule, finishes the regular season schedule with only 1 loss, a surprising defeat @MTSU. Rice wins CUSA West and again wins the hosting tie-breaker over Marshall, because of Marshall's schedule (despite Rice's 2 losses). It will be very close and Marshall fans will again whine. Marshall again gets destroyed by Rice during the CUSA Championship game.
Boise State is pretty good, but Rice gets the Access Bowl slot, with losses to two top-25 teams (17-ponit loss to top-10 Baylor and narrow loss to WKU) and victories over two top-25 teams (narrow over top-20 Texas and large over Marshall).
Go Rice!
(Of course, I hope Rice wins every game! But WKU scares me and I'm trying to emphasize that. Realistically, it is probably still more likely Rice wins at home over WKU than on the road against Texas. And if I really had to bet money ... I'd probably go with 9-3 instead of 10-2, but where is the fun in that?!?)
