So... We're just under two weeks away from the season opener.

What's your prediction(s) for the season?

The schedule looks like this:
9/1 UT-Martin (FCS)
9/10 @ Purdue
9/15 Houston
9/24 Miami-Ohio
10/1 USF
10/8 @ UConn
10/22 ECU
10/29 @ Temple
11/5 BYU
10/12 @ UCF
10/18 Memphis
10/25 @ Tulsa

(Note... I'm asking what you think WILL happen, not "what should happen" which might be two very different things...)

I'll go...

Here's my predictions:
9/1 UT-Martin (FCS) UC WIN (1-0)
9/10 @ Purdue UC WIN (2-0)
9/15 Houston UC LOSS (2-1)
9/24 Miami-Ohio UC WIN (3-1)
10/1 USF UC LOSS (3-2)
10/8 @ UConn UC WIN (4-2)
10/22 ECU UC WIN (5-2)
10/29 @ Temple UC LOSS (5-3)
11/5 BYU UC LOSS (5-4)
10/12 @ UCF UC WIN (6-4)
10/18 Memphis UC LOSS (6-5)
10/25 @ Tulsa UC WIN (7-5)

Games I'm confident about that UC "should win": UT-Martin, Purdue, Tulsa
Games I'm concerned about, that UC "should win" but might not: Miami-Ohio, UConn, ECU, UCF
Games that I'm hopeful UC might find a way to win: BYU, Memphis

8-4 sounds about right to me. Although the schedule is favorable in the sense that they play Houston, BYU, Memphis, and USF all at home, so maybe they finish a little better.

Seems like a flip of the coin. Could be good, could be bad.

9/1 UT-Martin (FCS) W
9/10 @ Purdue W
9/15 Houston L
9/24 Miami-Ohio W
10/1 USF L
10/8 @ UConn L
10/22 ECU W
10/29 @ Temple W
11/5 BYU W
10/12 @ UCF W
10/18 Memphis W
10/25 @ Tulsa L

8-4 and a trip to Boca for a bowl game. Tulsa and UCONN are the 2 WTF road game performances for this year.

I'm guessing anywhere between 3-9 and 9-3. Nothing would surprise me within that range. This team under Tuberville is wildly unpredictable.

Everyone is going 8-4... That's my thought as well. Enough home games they'll get some wins, but I don't have confidence in Tubs to have them play at a high level game after game.

Yeah I saw this thread and thought 8-4 for this season. Looks like a lot of us have the same mindset.

Hoping we are all wrong and we can win another championship.

9/1 UT-Martin (FCS) W
9/10 @ Purdue L
9/15 Houston L
9/24 Miami-Ohio W
10/1 USF W
10/8 @ UConn W
10/22 ECU W
10/29 @ Temple L
11/5 BYU L
10/12 @ UCF W
10/18 Memphis W
10/25 @ Tulsa W

8-4

8-4 with losses against Purdue, Houston, UConn and BYU

I guess I am not very confident this year. I sure hope I am wrong.

9/1 UT-Martin (FCS) W
9/10 @ Purdue L early season road game - I think back to the loss at Illinois a few years ago (where Legeaux was hurt)
9/15 Houston L this could go either way just like last year
9/24 Miami-Ohio W these games with Miami have been way too close under Tuberville but UC is at home
10/1 USF L USF destroyed UC last year, why should this year be any different?
10/8 @ UConn L I just have a bad feeling about this one
10/22 ECU W This could actually go either way, but UC is at home so UC gets the W
10/29 @ Temple L Will be tough for UC to win there
11/5 BYU L BYU is just better than UC
10/12 @ UCF W UCF was woeful last year. This game will be closer but UC should win
10/18 Memphis W Could go either way. Give UC the win at home for the seniors.
10/25 @ Tulsa L The game at Nippert was closer than the score indicated. Tulsa just made a few more mistakes.

UC 5-7

7-5

maybe

I'm at 8-4 as well. I think Temple will be when the Tubby Traveling Show comes to town.

Probably a 2-2 from Memphis, BYU, Houston, USF. Probably BYU and USF if they get daytime kick offs.

Uconn 11:30 might be the other.

first thought 8-4 (but could see 9-3)

9/1 UT-Martin (FCS) - W
9/10 @ Purdue - W
9/15 Houston - L
9/24 Miami-Ohio - W
10/1 USF - L
10/8 @ UConn - W
10/22 ECU - W
10/29 @ Temple - L
11/5 BYU - L
10/12 @ UCF - W
10/18 Memphis - W
10/25 @ Tulsa - W

Loses to Houston, BYU, Temple, USF

lol so is Tubs the coach of this 9-3 team?

Here we go:

9/1 UT-Martin (FCS) W
9/10 @ Purdue W
9/15 Houston L
9/24 Miami-Ohio W
10/1 USF L
10/8 @ UConn W
10/22 ECU W
10/29 @ Temple L
11/5 BYU L
10/12 @ UCF W
10/18 Memphis W
10/25 @ Tulsa W

The more I think about it, the worse I feel.

9/1 UT-Martin (FCS) - W
9/10 @ Purdue - L
9/15 Houston - L
9/24 Miami-Ohio - W
10/1 USF - L
10/8 @ UConn - L

10/12 @ UCF - W
10/18 Memphis - L
10/25 @ Tulsa - L

3-9. And Miami will be close. It could be 2-10. :(

I was trying to stay positive at 7-5.

I know I have said it before, and I'll probably say it again... ANYTHING is possible--0-12 is possible as is 12-0.

UC 5-7

I was at that game. I remember it well. I also remember the prior game when UC throttled Purdue. I don't see us losing.

should beat them on paper, Boilers picked last in Division hopefully not another flop game from Tuberville

Hazell will not last the season. Purdue is awful.
