This is the first season in a long time, where I have no pulse and how good or bad the pokes will be. What is everybody thinking record wise? I will go with 7-5.

Record this season..

Before seeing the Akron game...4-8. Last year it was well known Svoboda was having accuracy issues in camp but was covered up to force him into that starting spot. I like Fall Camp brings excitement but Bohl and Sawvel liked to talk about players and they seemingly disappeared in the season

I am disappointed with the MWC but feel good about UW. This is based on articles that I have read throughout the year. I think we brought in some good transfers/players, retained some quality players, and didn't lose as many to the transfer portal as I thought we would.
My predications:
vs. Akron (W)
vs. Northern Iowa (W)
vs. Utah (L)
vs. Colorado (L)
vs. UNLV (L)
vs. SJSU (L)
vs. Air Force (W)
vs. Colorado State (L)
vs. San Diego State (W)
vs. Fresno State (W)
vs. Nevada (W)
vs. Hawaii (W)
I guess I will go 7-5.

I think there will be a ton of emotion with the CSU game and could have gone either way. I think Wyoming might have the emotion advantage.

I'm with the 7-5 crowd but definitely difficult to predict with the schedule.
I think we're 2-2 ooc leaving 5 must wins in conference.
I think SJSU and csu will be better than last year with strong potential for loss.
suds is a head scratcher. They return 70% of the 114th ranked d and quite a bit on an O that struggled to score. I think this is 50-50.
fresno also returns quite a bit from a decent D but they also return a lot on a pretty anemic O. With that said their passing game was decent and brought in some intriguing transfers. I don't like the passing matchup if their transfers are better than expected and questions in the WYO secondary. I'll go L here. However, there are definitely question marks on how good their passing game will be.
HI returns a lot but I don't think they get on track this year. I like our chances.
NV, AF, and UNLV have a lot of turnover so tough to tell on these. These are must win with HI and suds to get to 7.

Give me 5-7 if we win the Akron game and 3-9 if we lose it. NIL and portal makes it impossible to have any kind of feel for the upcoming season. Having a clown for a coach makes me pessimistic though. Never been so worried about a season opener (on the road,) (against an awful team) during my Cowboy fandom.

Agreed. UNLV might be one of the biggest wildcards in FBS. Lots of talent but will it gel with new teammates and coach.
If it does, they'll challenge bsu and we'll definitely lose. Hard to tell what they'll be?

After being disappointed last year I am letting my pessimistic view take over:
At Akron (L) I'm thinking like UConn we come out and step on a rake but unlike Uconn aren't able to pull out the win
vs. Northern Iowa (W) much tighter than it ought to be
vs. Utah (L) Ugly
At Colorado (L) Ugly redux
vs. UNLV (L) At this point the wheels come off
vs. SJSU (L) We are snakebit against Joser
At Air Force (L)
vs. Colorado State (L)
At San Diego State (L)
At Fresno State (L)
vs. Nevada (W)
At Hawaii (L)
2-10, prove me wrong Pokes.

The negative side of me: 3-9
The most positive side: 8-4
The average of 11-13 is: 5.5 - 6.5 which says negatively 5-7 and positively 6-6 of which either final record is a potential contract extension.
Going out of my comfort zone and saying 6-6 is expected.
I think the final record will be influenced greatly by the health of Kaden Anderson because I have no clue if there is any other QB option ready for this season.

Anderson's health will depend on the o-line.

Is Northern Iowa supposed to be good or something? a few people here predicting that as a loss.

I think Anderson is the best quarterback Wyoming has had since Allen and maybe even the second best quarterback ever at UW. I'm surprised that he is still here. Four wins is the floor as long as he stays healthy. Without him ? ? ? ?
They used to be good but have been trending down and their longtime coach retired

The only game changer is if Bouknight has the WR corps revamped, we can keep Anderson healthy and can score unlike any time in the past 5-10 years. I think our defense will be mid to bad.
