Here's their schedule. This bet will remain open until the season starts.

With that schedule I predict 0 wins!

 

[TheIronColonel]

Man, why can't we do an over/under. This is so much harder to pick.

 

[Ttown]

All in with my one vdollar, what do I win?

100 free vBucks next time a vBet is created, as long as your balance is below 1.00. Seriously.

 

[NFBuck]

Right now, I'm going with five.

A little over a month ago before I was banned from MGoBlow, they had a season prediction thread and I was generous and guessed 7-5. Upon further review and hearing first reports from their spring camp, I'm revising that to 5-7:

Sep. 05 Western Michigan .... W
Sep. 12 Notre Dame .......... L
Sep. 19 Eastern Michigan .... W
Sep. 26 Indiana ............. W
Oct. 03 at Michigan State ... L
Oct. 10 at Iowa ............. L
Oct. 17 Delaware State ...... W
Oct. 24 Penn State .......... L
Oct. 31 at Illinois ......... L
Nov. 07 Purdue .............. W
Nov. 14 at Wisconsin ........ L
Nov. 21 Ohio State .......... L

Fuck Michigan.

Fuck Michigan.

That's exactly what I came up with. Though, WMU will be no gimme. They may very well drop that one too.

 

[ysubuck]

I say 4. I think they lose to WMU to be quite honest.

Good Lord Michigan is fucking awful right now.

 

[Zurp]

I put money on 6, 7, and 8 wins. I figured 6 is conservatively low. Besides, WMU, EMU, and Del St are three wins - they can win 3 Big Ten games. Maybe they'll surprise a couple teams and win a couple more.

Then I looked more at the schedule.

Sep. 05 Western Michigan
Sep. 12 Notre Dame
Sep. 19 Eastern Michigan
Sep. 26 Indiana
Oct. 03 at Michigan State
Oct. 10 at Iowa
Oct. 17 Delaware State
Oct. 24 Penn State
Oct. 31 at Illinois
Nov. 07 Purdue
Nov. 14 at Wisconsin
Nov. 21 Ohio State

I don't know that I see ANY for-sure wins, other than those "easy" three, and I wouldn't be surprised if they lose one of those three. I guess I don't know enough about Notre Dame, Indiana, or Purdue. Maybe they can surprise "little brother" or Iowa. I don't see it though.

 

[TheIronColonel]

I think assuming that *any* wins are automatic is a mistake. scUM has a recent track record of shitting the bed against suspect competition.

True, but if they should lose at home to fucking Delaware State, a I-AA (FCS) team that was 5-6 last year, DickRod should be fired...

 

[Ttown]

Hell, I don't want Dickrod fired, let him stay for 12 years or more.

 

[MD Buckeye]

4 or 5

 

[zwem]

4 or 5

I agree for now. It depends on what happens in the fall but right now I feel like 4-5 wins is the realistic option.
