Now that signing day is over and we await spring ball, let's have some fun and look at our 2016 season.

Date - Opponent - FCS Ranking (compughterratings.com)
9.3 - vs Saint Francis (73)
9.10 - @ Northern Iowa (4)
9.24 - @ Cal Poly (56)
10.1 - vs Southern Utah (25)
10.8 - vs Mississippi Valley (123)
10.15 - vs Sacramento State (104)
10.22 - @ Northern Arizona (39)
10.29 - @ Eastern Washington (32)
11.5 - vs Idaho State (103)
11.12 - @ Northern Colorado (57)
11.19 - vs Montana State (62)

Taking an early look, what do you expect/hope the Griz record will be in 2016? Here's what I'm hoping for:

At an early glance, I think the Griz will finish at 9-2 or 8-3 with a worst-case scenario of the Griz finishing at 7-4 with all losses coming on the road to UNI, Cal Poly, NAU and EWU. If the Griz can come away with wins at UNI and Cal Poly, they have a great shot at running the table the rest of the way. I really don't see us losing at home next year. With a full year already under the belt, we should see this offense start clicking and I think the Griz can definitely win the Big Sky in 2016.
 
I see sure-fire wins vs Saint Francis, Mississippi, SacState, Idaho and Northern Colorado. That leaves six remaining games that we should at least split. That's 8 wins and that's my vote. 8 wins and 3 losses.
 
0-11? How does that even seem possible when you have a date with state ag every November? I know. You're just being thorough, offering choices, taking the high road. But sometimes you just have to ignore your upbringing, professional training & experience, and act like a Griz fan. Man up already.
 
We will win more than we lose. This early in the morning and not amp'd up yet I fall into the cautious 7 - 4 group of sissy predictions. Later, I will have us running the table.
QB play seems to loom up in my small pea brain. We need a damn good starting player but just as important we need a super #2 player. No I don't have a clue as to who, what, where, when and how any of this QB stuff shakes out. But for us to win we need two good QB's. Toss in a line that learns to hold and we win tons and tons of games!

QB play is fine as long as O-line play is improved.
 
9-2 or 8-3 losses either coming from Cal Poly, Northern Iowa, or NAU.


EWU is in for a long losing streak. The tide is changing :coffee:






;)
 
Wow, I didn't realize what a tough road schedule we will have this year. I think we'll lose 3 of the 4 at Northern Iowa, Eastern Washington, Cal Poly and Northern Arizona. I think we will go undefeated at home this year, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us drop a winnable game (e.g. Sac State or SUU).

Along with everyone's well-documented OL concerns, I'm also concerned about the relative immaturity of the whole squad. I'm assuming that a significant number of underclassmen will see lots of playing time this year, and at this point I think it's just too early to tell how good they'll be. So, a cautiously optimistic 8-3 is my prediction, but I wouldn't be shocked at a 7-4 season.
 
K, I'll act like a kitten for a moment.....

No one should care how many we lose and if we get to the play offs or not

This is only a beat "State" at all costs program......

and Our defense is gunna be way better this year.....it can't get any worse

:shock:
 
at UNI and at Cal Poly would be my guess for the two losses. I totally agree with jcu27, ewoo is in for a serious beat down.
 
I voted 11-0.

Clearly no need to doubt this prediction. I am never wrong.




Or at least I won't ever admit to being wrong.

I picked you guys @ 9-2. I see loss at UNI and either EWU/SUU or MSU. For us, I would be happy with 6-5, that would be a good start IMO.
