2012 win total?

Last year folks thought I was crazy for thinking we could win 8 games but it happened, lost a couple I think we could have won, and won a couple we could have lost but overall a pretty awesome season.

For some reason the national predictors think our schedule is tougher this year and we will be lucky to win 6. I don't think it is near as difficult as 2 years ago, and really I think it is about the same as last years, maybe a tiny bit harder. That said I think 5 home wins and 4 road wins is realistic and if we miss one of those maybe we can pickup a bowl game win. So for 2012, I think DC keeps the momentum going and takes another step forward and we get 9 wins in 2012.

If we play flawless I think we can beat anyone on our schedule. And if the "experts" are right and we win 6 or 7 games this year I don't think that would be tragic. I think our team will be better than last years team, regardless of the number of wins. I am excited to see what Nico Brown, Trent Sewell, and Uso Olive bring to the team in the fall.
 
7-5. A little bit of a Sophomore slump from Smith, losing Biezuns and Knapton will show. The defense benefited from a very good turnover ratio last year, despite having one of the nations worst rush defenses ( ranked 118th). Its hard to assume that will happen again. There is definitely the scare of a 2009/2010 repeat (Go from NM bowl to losing 8+ games), but I think the Pokes will be fine. 7-5 is about right, here's hoping the bowl game goes better this time around.

Gotta break the trend....when people expect Wyoming to suck, they perform. When people attach great expectations with the team, they fold. Here's hoping the 2nd place prediction by the MWC coaches doesn't look like a joke at the end of 2012. 5-0 in one possession games is freaking incredible. Hard to say duplicating that is a given.
