For giggles let see if we can get to the magic number of 6 wins in 2013

Non Conference
Duke
MTSU
A-State

I believe we go 2-1 here with a definite win over MTSU and a toss up between Duke/ASU

Road
Boise - ouch
Houston - 30% chance
UL - ouch but still a slight chance
USF - I could see this being the 1 road win

On the road we pick up 1 win and 3 L's giving us 3 wins between non-conf and road

Home
Cincy
SDSU
SMU
Temple
Not an easy home schedule. I'm going to assume we split the home conference games and go 2-2. This gives us 5 wins and 6 losses.

Hopefully we will be adding a D-2 school to the home schedule which would give us the 6th Win making us bowl eligible.

Thoughts?

Thought we played UT Martin again?

The CA article didnt mention UTM but I hope that is right. We will definitely need the extra "should win" game to get to 6

I think UT-Martin is a home game on 11/09, right?

Bowl game will be tough next year. That road schedule is brutal.

USF loses their starting QB and both leading RB's.

Cinci loses their two best receivers, leading RB and backup QB.

We got 6 there if we play like we did the last 5-6 weeks of the season.

the wildcard could be that we have enough to go 4-0 in OOC.

Very winable in all 4

Chances of that happening are slim as really the best case is probably 3-1

Win all 4 OOC games and its virtually a lock to get to 6

Could be that there will be 100 bowls, and every team with a pulse will go somewhere

This is our best chance. WINNING!!

that is one tough schedule for us....i'll be happy winning four and being a competitive team. The key is taking the momentum from the end of the season and carrying it over to spring ball.

Jacob Karam gets to face his former coach when the Tigers play Cincy.

And replaced him with one of the best young coaches in the business.

Addition by subtraction?

Unlike btiger, you won't get any sugarcoating from me. He's turned into a real sunshine pumper.
