I know there were some prediction threads in July, but those were really premature as the team had yet to complete camp. Although practices are closed, we now have a depth chart and a month's worth of hype (mostly on the defensive side) to form our basis of opinion.
I was in the 7-5 category prior to camp, and wasn't too sure about it, and now I'm bumping my prediction to 8-4, mostly based on the defensive chatter.
That said, nothing would surprise me. I could see something as bad as 4-8. The first month is key. UCF needs at least one, preferably two, between Memphis, Georgia Tech and Maryland. It goes without saying that FIU and Maine are must wins.
Road games like Cincinnati, Navy and SMU will be difficult as well.
Here's what I've got:
FIU - W
Memphis - L
GT - W
Maryland - W
Maine - W
Cincinnati - L
ECU - W
Navy - L
SMU - W
UConn - W
Temple - W
USF - L
Just a stab in the dark for fun.
Reply however you want to: Vote in the poll first and foremost, then if you want, post the record and schedule W/L breakdown.
