I can see another 10-2 year....but anywhere between 8 and 11 wins seems about right again.

According to FBSschedules.com these are the dates for the non-con schedule. I wish Murray State was before UNLV to be a "warm-up" game. Also, I am excited to go to the horseshoe for the first time.

09/05 - UNLV
09/12 - Murray State
09/19 - at Ohio State
09/26 - at Boston College

Let's Punt that Murray State game...bad bad....bad game

When you have the number one team in the nation on your schedule, I don't think I can get too mad about an FCS game lol.

Man I'd love to get Ohio State on that rare year when they are just a great team and not a farking juggernaut.

I do agree though if Murray State was the only non-conf home game, that would be unacceptable for just the reason of a good schedule for season ticket holders.

Expecting them to roll the tide with their third string QB?

I hear ya! This could be two straight times facing the Buckeyes in Columbus with them as the number one team.

In fact I wouldn't be totally opposed to changing our motto to "anytime...any place...except Columbus, OH in 2015" If there was a way for NIU to find a way out of the game, I wouldn't be against it.

UNLV will have a new coach. They just hired a local high school coach as their new head coach. May be difficult to game plan for the opener!

Especially the JV game.


Oh.

Probably a good chance Ohio State is the preseason #1 in a few of the polls next season, even when the Tide beat them by 20+ in the semis.

I wish they didn't schedule that OSU game. While the buildup to the game will be fun, once it gets going - oh boy. After watching Wisconsin get pasted I don't have high hopes for the DeKalb kids.

It's nice to have some power five schools on your docket, but better if they afford you the opportunity to actually win the game.

I'll take the NW, Iowa, Purdue thing any day over an almost certain loss in Columbus. The Huskies will likely have to be perfect in every other game to receive the access bowl bid.

If NIU plays mistake-free like they did this year: 9-3. If the winds of luck don't blow their way optimally: 8-4.

Something tells me if you were a color commentator for football and given access to a drawing board, by the time your analysis was done, it would be just one solid-filled yellow box with the video output of the game not visible at all haha

Is it being a coward or having common sense when 125 other teams share that view? OSU is not only going to be the best team in the nation next year, the distance between 1 and 2 will be the largest we have seen in some time.

Is this your prediction like the WMU vs. NIU prediction? Row the Boat.

And apparently Todd is now under the impression that Marshall is not real deal and was exposed whereas a week ago Marshall was king of the college football universe.
