Better chance in basketball.

I mean they have a national championship, so of course.

It’s not realistic, IMHO. But in order for it to maybe/possibly happen?

The conference would have to win 100% of its games — not 75% or 83% but 100% — against FCS and G4 opponents, plus any remaining games against non-Notre Dame independents like Army. And probably helpful if no more than 6 or 7 of those games were agaIsn’t FCS.

Win about 35% of its games against SEC-ACC-B1G-PAC and Big<XII.

So, 28-0 against the first group, and 7-13 against the second group. Total of 35-13. If that happened, we’d at least be in the ballpark of being ranked 4th as a league.

At a minimum, you would need 5 teams in the top 25, 3 in the top 15, 2 in the top 10 and one in the top 5. Is that possible?

Ok so realistically what is the best case OOC record for each of our teams, and if that were to happen would it get us in the top 4

ECU fans should get a group together to cheer for UCF at UNC. You could wear UCF National Champion shirts or just wear your Pirate gear.

I just don't view their schedule as that difficult considering Rosen is bolting early at UCLA. Of course Chip Kelly is the X-factor there.

Mighty optimistic for a 3-9 football team. 2-2 best case scenario.

You seem mighty cocky for a football team that won 10 games last year and still only had 3 more top 25 votes than a 3-9 football team.

I'd say if we do that well OOC collectively, we might be the #1 conference.

That would be 49-8. That would be Killer.

Since we are doing ridiculously way too early predictions. I will play. Keep in mind, this is early, and we have no idea which Freshman are going to play, JC transfer etc.

This year the SEC went 49-15 and ended with the 2nd highest winning % OOC. Here are the the top 7:

Big 10 39-11 0.755563
SEC 49-15 0.691916
ACC 43-21 0.636098
Big 12 25-13 0.629234
Pac-12 29-16 0.606341
American 29-22 0.522624
MWC 24-31 0.408332

So to answer the OP, we'd have to have a winning % somewhere around 63%, going something like 35/36 - 22/21.

Sweeping FCS gets us 12 (SEC and ACC both had 13 FCS wins this year!). 17 more games against G5+UMASS+Army. We gotta win at least 14 of those. That leaves:

Cincy@UCLA
UNC@ECU
ECU@VT
Temple@MD
Temple@BC
UCF@UNC
Pitt@UCF
UCONN@Syracuse
GT@USF
USF@Illinois
ZONA@Houston
Memphis@Mizzou
ND v Navy
TCU@SMU
SMU@Michigan
Wake @ Tulane
Tulane @ Ohio State
Tulsa @ Texas
Tulsa @ Arkansas.

I see maybe 5-7 wins there, at best. We need at least 9.

So would it be possible? Sure. Go undefeated against FCS, 14-3 against G5/UMASS/Army, and 9-10 against P5/ND.

That gets us to 35-22. That would be essentially the same results Big12 had this year.
