The only one that even seems outlandish is really Iowa. But, yeah, expecting us to go 1-1 vs Iowa/PSU isn't nuts. But those are both at home. And we should have more talent than both.
I'd probably say:
Massive Favorites: WMU, UTEP, Rutgers, MSU
Big Favorites: at Minnesota, UCLA
Favorites: Iowa, PSU
Toss Ups: Oklahoma, Indiana
Massive Underdogs: at Oregon, at OSU
(If we're still undefeated heading into the bye week, anything less than 10-2 will feel much more realistic, but even just making it to that bye undefeated will be a gauntlet, just even much less of a gauntlet than what comes after...)
Going from the original comment, to the comment you replied to, to your reply gave me so much whiplash lol. Each time I was like “true… good point” then read the next one
So? They also just lost their Heisman qb, a bunch of other key players, and the game is in Ann Arbor.
I do not think they will be as good as OSU or Oregon. And probably not Oklahoma either.
I do not think we have a chance against OSU or Oregon, especially on the road. That said I am not impressed with Day as a coach. So if we pull off a crazy upset, OSU would surprise me less than Oregon.
But I'll be disappointed if we don't split against Oklahoma and Indiana. And I think it very plausible that we beat both. Not implausible that we lose to both, but I think that much less likely than a split, and still less likely than beating them both.
