14-0 in 08 ?

I will take 10-3 right now.

I just don't see us as a Top-5 team.

Plus, we may not even be the 3rd best team in the Big-12 next year.
 
FLORIDA ATLANTIC == Win
at UTEP == Win
ARKANSAS == Win(?)
RICE == Win
at Colorado == Win
vs. Oklahoma (Dallas) == Toss-up
MISSOURI == Toss-up
OKLAHOMA STATE == Win
at Texas Tech == Toss-up
BAYLOR == Win
at Kansas == Win (?)
TEXAS A&M == Win

Our schedule isn't the toughest in the country by any means, but tougher than it has been in a while. If we were to make it through that plus the Big 12 Title game undefeated, we'd be heavy favorites to win it all (which I just don't think will happen).

Unfortunately, even if we play pretty well, four losses is not entirely out of the question.

I have a feeling that next year will be Tech's year to shine -- if they don't, look for Leach to look somewhere else (voluntarily).

Take a look at Tech's schedule:

TULSA == Win
at Nevada == Win
SMU == Win
MASS. == Win
at K-State == Win (this is where Tech shows it's for real)
NEBRASKA == Win
at Texas A&M == Win (?)
at Kansas == Toss-up
TEXAS == let's just say this game scares me
OKIE STATE == Win
at Oklahoma == toss-up
BAYLOR == Win

It's very conceivable that Tech could be undefeated going into its game in Norman. They are even more of a dark horse contender for the Big 12 South, IMHO.
 
8-5 or 7-6 should be the title of this thread.

Missouri and OU are not tossups. WIN at Kansas? You have got be kidding me. And someone wake me up when we can count on beating A&M. Thank God K-State is not on there.

All of us better get ready to strap it up for next year. We are severely short on speed on offense at any skill position. And we have a secondary that will still set records next year.

Y'all better get ready for this.
 
You'd be nuts to ever take any college football team to go 14-0. The odds are astronomical. The fact that Ohio State did it while trying to beat each opponent by as few points as possible out of sportsmanship is the exception that proves the rule.
 
Every year someone predicts 5 losses. We will not lose 5 or 6 games in 2008, either.

Kansas will be back but they play a harder schedule in 08. OU, Nebraska, UT, and Mizz in the very least. I see them losing 3 games.

Mizz plays Nebraska, OSU, Texas, K-state, and Kansas...oh, and Illinois early. I could see them losing 2 if they go thru non-conference undefeated.

OU plays UT, K-state, Nebraska, A&M, Tech, and OSU. They probably lose 1 game.

UT plays Arkansas, OU, Miss, OSU, Tech, Kansas, and A&M. No K-state which is good. Kansas and Tech are away games and both will be tough environments. Mizz is at home and the game after OU which usually bodes well for Mack. I am thinking that UT is a 2 loss team at the very least. If one of those losses is to OU then that probably means no Big 12 title game. I just don't see UT losing to any of the North teams next year.
 
If you go to Texags before the football season you'll see about 50 of these threads about aggy going undefeated.

The difference is most aggy believe it.
 
Until Fat Bastard produces a really good team two years in a row I refuse to believe they will be better than a 7-8 win team next year.

My only prediction is that we end with 10 wins next year. Is that an "acceptable" quantity? I'll leave that up for discussion.

Now then, put the pipe down & step away. 14-0 is not even worthy of discussion here.
 
Would not ever say never in sports. 6 loses or 14 wins , the beauty of sports is talk doesn't win or lose games . imo we will probably have a 4 loss season. 14 games ?
 
One game at a time.

IMO, Texas, if they stay healthy, is a 1 to 2 loss team with a RB that steps up in a big way. I look for the OL and defense to be much improved.

If you can beat Sand Aggie, you can beat Mizzou. Texas has enjoyed success against Tech - shaky at times, but success, so the concern should be at the same level as the annual game against Tech.

Tech isn't going to make any noise until they prvie they can stop the other team. Even if they have the right coach now, that isn't going to change in 2008. For the Tech defense to get to the next level they are going to have to recruit quality defensive players, and that isn't going to happen as long as Leach is in charge.

As indicated above, Kansas is going to have to prove they have staying power.

Which boils down to ou. Texas and OU will each lose one conference game, so the usual will apply - The winner of the ou game will have the leverage.
 
I see the improved OL and (presumably) defense as worth a game or 2 right there. We'll take 1-3 losses from among OU, Mizz, Kansas, and Tech, with all those games being fairly close.

I'll be watching the game against the Hogs closely as an early barometer of our season.

Hard to believe Tech has never won the South, with that gaudy record over the past decade. If they ever figure out how to beat OU and UT in the same year, they're gold.
 
Our season next year depends greatly on who starts at running back and how fast the defense adjusts to the new coordinator.

If we have a decent RB, and the defense gels quickly, then having only 3 losses or better is a realistic expectation.
 
I don't see us losing more than 2 games, I think 3-4 of those games will be toss-ups and I see us maybe losing one of those and I'm hoping we don't "slip up" again like we did two times this season
 
How in the **** did this thread get five stars? Yeah, there are some amusing comments, but nothing that warrants the highest thread rating possible. That's the only reason I clicked on this thread, dammit- expecting to see some awesome rant or extremely witty comeback, but there's nothing. I feel empty, like going home with someone I think is Jessica Alba but who turns out to be a lady-boy look-alike. ****.
 
Here is what concerns me: nearly every year (save 2005), Texas drops at least one game that they should win running away. Like A&M and K-State for the last two years. Who will it be in 2008? I would keep an eye on Arky. Too many other unknowns at this point between now and next fall to get a good read overall, though. Neither 14-0 nor 7-6 would surprise me, however I'll split the difference and guess 10-3.
