Temple (click for 2018 preview)

Your job is simple: Vote for the teams you think Temple will beat OR if you think Temple will beat none of them, only vote for the "Winless" option.

Temple fans, feel free to convince pollsters why or why not they should win every game on their schedule!

I'll post one poll a week until all 12 football teams are represented, in reverse order of conference finish. Each new post will link to the preceding ones, and polls will be open until the end of the 12 weeks.


For a more informed opinion, here's some reading material on their opponents:

Buffalo

Tulsa

East Carolina

NAVY

Cincinnati

UCF

Houston

USF

UCONN

What a nice schedule for a lot of wins! Looks like the easiest I have seen so far in the conference. Good luck Temple, you should have a good year and certainly be in the hunt for East Champ. Won those OOC games for us.

just came to post this, what a great start to the schedule for Temple. Get through Navy and it could mean a long run of wins.

6-6. They will be in nearly every single game. I'm assuming they lose close games to Maryland and BC - but I could definitely see them stealing one and pushing 8-4. This is how you should schedule if you're a "smaller name" AAC program. There is no point in playing big dog P5s - just play the lesser ones where you have a fun game to watch.

I went a very optimistic 9-3. Someone mentioned the way the schedule sets up nice early, but 3 games in a row near the end: UCF, Houston, USF; brutal! Cannot wait for football!

9-3 as well. LOL @ TyBull predicting we go winless.

Come on, you want brutal...try Michigan, TCU, and Navy for 3 in a row! Probably two Top 15 and a team we never beat.

I have 7-5. Weird to have both Maryland and BC on the roas. Usually you try to stagger them so you get one at home.

I have losses to @Maryland, @Navy, @UCF, @Houston, and USF.

We have Maryland and Georgia Tech at home next year. BC return is 2021.

8 and 4 overall, 3 and 2 vs the east.

I have Owls going 8-4 , 4-1 in AAC East. Losses to UCF, Navy, Houston & B.C.

I'm a homer so I have a loss with Tulsa in there.

Honestly 8 or 9 wins.

Have them losing Navy, UCF, Houston. USF might be a toss up. Good record this year. Next year will line up great for a monster year too. Lots of positives for Temple program right now.

"smaller name" teams? Temple has been one of the best football programs in the conference and they had a "down" year last year at 7-6.

I have 7-5 too, with a possibility of 8-4. Not sure how the USF game will turn out. S Fla is a question mark for me w/o Flowers.

Yes, but...USF completely dominated us last year. Have we come far enough to compete with them this year?
