So 7-5, but 6-6 seems more likely then 8-4.
----I think Ws vs MSU and SU are possible, but unlikely.
----We haven't lost to EMU since 2013.......I'm afraid we're due for a Loss vs them. They are better then they used to be and winning in Ypsilanti can be tough. If they're having a good season (and they could be 5-1 going into our game), and Rynearson is pretty full, going to be trouble. I think they have a new QB though.
----Like EMU, MU also scares me. I would imagine next to Frank Solich, there's as much pressure on Chuck Martin, only if Solich loses he's not on the hotseat like Martin is. He's been building/trying-to-build-a-program and this might be the year he breaks through.
---- I get they're defending MAC Champs, but I haven't been impressed with NIU lately. I don't buy we beat them because 'they bagged it in' last year. We had them on the ropes most of 2017. Don't see why we can't win again. We haven't won in DeKalb in forever, though.
---OU and UT seem like guaranteed losses, could arguably be tougher then MSU and SU.
---Hopefully with the recent Ls vs bad UA, CMU, and BSU teams, we can avoid Ls vs bad BSU, CMU, BGSU, and GSU teams. Can't pencil in a W till they're over!

Worst loss: Ball State
I don't see a L to a bad Ball St team 2 years in a row, unless we're substantially worse or Ball St is substantially better.
