If the defense keeps progressing, 7-5 is the floor in this wide-open conference.

Very big if. I would add that we need to get/stay healthy. The injury bug has bitten hard in the early season. Need to cut down on the penalties and flip the turnover ratio. We only have a couple of takeaways so far.

For once the scheduling gods have been favorable for us.  We handled Tulsa last year on the road.  If we are able to replicate that at home this weekend then we get a down FAU before we run the gauntlet of Memphis, Tulane and Army.  Those three games will tell us a lot about this year's squad.  Throw the record books out when it comes to UTSA.  ECU has been down but seems to be righting the ship (no pun intended), then we wrap up against a weak Temple team.

Yeah, that looks like 9-3 if things go really well which rarely happens.  So, throw in an additional loss and we're at 8-4.  We HAVE TO WIN the bowl game or play a really good game against a much better team.  The former gets us to 9-4 which isn't too bad, especially if this includes improvements in the defense along the way.  I'm assuming 2 conf losses keeps us out of the championship game.

Really a fun challenging schedule this season!
