DRC: It's time for the annual "Get Your Rear on the Record" contest

[Jonnyeagle]

This is the breakthrough year for Seth!  I’m saying even with a tough schedule they go 10-2!  And we beat SMU in Dallas!

3-9

7-5 followed by bowl win!

[bstnsportsfan3]

7-6 with a bowl win! drink the green koolaid

[Green Lantern]

Defense under Bennett actually shows a pulse early and gets better in CUSA play.

7-5 with a break through bowl win.

[Udomann]

3-9 here. Tough schedule. We may be better than last year but so is everyone else. Not enough game changers on the team

[NorthTexasWeLove]

4-8

[KingDL1]

Put me down for a very average and lackluster 6-6 please.

6-6 with a break through bowl win for a final record of 7-6.

8-4....offense is statistically good like last year, but more EFFICIENT.  Less 3 and outs will help our defense a ton.  

[MGNation92]

4-8 and Seth Littrell somehow still has a job

[TIgreen01]

6-6.

I could see the defense losing confidence after smu torches us for 60, and this thing spiraling…but will remain optimistic that Phil won’t lose them entirely and we start to show progress late in the season.

Using Phil’s time at Baylor as a comparison, his first 2 seasons there the defense gave up 37 points per game and finished 113th overall.  In his third season they jumped up to allowing just 23 points per game. They won the conference that year.  After that he had them in the 24-28pts allowed per game range.  The hope here is that the turnaround will happen quicker, but I think next year is the earliest we should expect a big jump up.  We should match up better with our conference mates in terms of talent than Baylor did when he first got there.

7-6...includes Bowl win

[MeanGreenTexan]

I think I'll finally venture a guess...   It's optimistic as heck, and is assuming the defense improves IMMENSELY.

7-6.   
Wins:  NWSt., UABorLATech(not both), Marshall, Rice, SoMiss, UTEP, FIU.

We're going to roll into the UTSA game on a 4-game win streak with a winning record already clinched, which is good.

Of course, NT is going to get a crap draw in our bowl game against a team that is ranked or near-ranked & lose.  Hopefully it wont be as bad as the last 3 bowl losses.

If Defense still sucks, just not as bad, we're going to win 5 games & UTSA is going to relish crushing our Bowl dreams.

4-8

... because of the buyout, along with overall better effort and some close losses, Seth Littrell keeps his job.

[Greendylan]

This year I'm actually more concerned about the mental fortitude of the team rather than any type of talent deficiency.  As everyone knows, looming across the first month and a half of the season is the very plausible scenario that we start the season 1-6.  The high water mark is probably 3-4, but that is highly unlikely.  If you are predicting anything better than that for the first seven games, then you, my friend, have been imbibing more green kool-aid than the law allows. 

The question then in my mind is if the coaches will lose the team when they are sitting at 1-6 or 2-5.  I'll say they'll keep everyone focused and will rattle off a few wins.  So, I'll officially predict that we will go into the UTSA game with a chance at bowl eligibility but ultimately end up 5-7.  Given the past couple seasons, I would be OK with this, as it would mean that every single game up until the end was meaningful.

This.

The defense will be better later in the season, as the competition level drops down to where we are right now. But that 6 games that follow the FCS opener are just brutal for where we are now.

4 wins, sadly, gets SL a return--the buyout is just too high, IMO. NW State, Marshall at home in an upset, @ Rice, and UTEP--that's my 4 wins Im predicting.

10-4 lose conference championship, but win a bowl game

[RBP79]

Greendylan I love the "Green Koolaid". Having been a NT fan longer than I care to admit..its the only way to continue to be a fan. More than 6 losses in this Division/Conference, worst in FBS,.....pass the Koolaid please.
