Being a little more serious while still being wooly:
@NCSt will be our only non-conference game that's not a cupcake. Arkansas and UM are going to be transitioning from bad seasons with new coaches. I still think we should be able to beat both of them even with a non-optimized leach offense. So I think 5-1 is a pretty reasonable expectation out of those and 6-0 is possible. 4-2 would be disappointing but not ridiculously bad considering our WR situation.
UK and Missou I have no clue what to expect, but I doubt either of them are going to outmatch us to the point that we aren't competitive with them.
A&M and Auburn I expect to still be too talented for us, although both have tendencies to just go through awful stretches despite their talent, so you never know.
LSU and Bama I expect to outclass us by enough that an upset is unreasonable to even dream of.
But I think 6 wins is pretty doable. 7 would be a really good showing by Leach. And I think there are going to 8 games we have a good shot at winning even if we are not favored in 8, and another two where an upset is not too crazy to dream of even if they're unlikely.
So even in a down year, we could very likely see 9 games where we either win or at least keep it competitive enough that it's not over before the 4th quarter. That will be a big improvement over Moorhead if Leach can pull that off, even if he ultimately only gets six wins out of it.
