UCF is only projected to win two (UConn, USF,) according to ESPN's Football Power Index.

If we are going to have a terrible season we can at least beat USF to salvage something.

Points #4 and #5 about AAC.

ESPN is very wrong on that. 0-12 is where it's at.

Then we get that first draft pick.

Why does college football make no attempt at parity. They constantly reinforce the status quo. If a school attempts to be more competitive by "incentivicing" they get punished.

I say if UCF goes 0-12 we get the best high school player available.

The bookend GOL 13 game losing streaks, just watch.

I couldn't agree with this more.

Man, how much in the pits is USF if after all our junk they are STILL predicted to lose to us? We lost to Furman for goodness sakes!

 

[UCFBS]

It sounds about right, 2-10 (2-6 AAC).

With Holman plays all 8 conference games, I say we could be 4-8 (4-4 AAC).
We could also continue to have issues with the inexperience, and finish 0-12 (0-8 AAC).

I'll let the season itself dictate the record, and not speculate further.

very true! If we could just beat them...that would help!

[UCFBS]

I said could.

We could have Holman come back and go 0-12 (0-8 AAC) too. I never said otherwise.

We actually have to play the games to find out. Right now it's looking 4-8 (4-4 AAC) best case scenario, 2-10 (2-6 AAC) far more likely, with 0-12 (0-8 AAC) very plausible.

Stop quoting what you want, and quote what I really said! That's why you guys keep saying things about me that I never said ... because you keep taking things out of context and the full set of statements.

But alas ... that what people do, to make their point, instead of recognizing the truth. Just like with recruiting.

I said could.

And I could win the lotto and bang Megan Fox in the ass.*

If we win the digital clock trophy AND beat USF, this season is a success.

Slim to no chance. UCF has far, far better odds, even if they are bad, they are not that bad (4 orders of magnitude)!

No. That would still be bad. I will not accept a 2-10 (2-6 AAC) record. Key should be fired if that's the result, no questions asked ... demoted at best. It means he utterly failed, even late.

Moderate, 'rebuilding,' success would be 4-8 (4-4 AAC) record ... 0.500 in conference after the early woes. That would mean GoL gets 2016 to have a winning season, even if it isn't a 10 win or conference title game appearance. Key would probably keep his job, through the first few games of 2016, as the young, injury-plagued roster did show just enough improvement.

If we go 2-10 (2-6 AAC) to 0-12 (0-8 AAC), it means GoL is "on notice." It means if we look like we're going to have another losing season in 2016 early on, he could be canned by game 6, if not game 5 or even 4, depending on the scores and results.

It would mean the GoL program has failed if those are the results ... which is in stark contrast to UCF at any time, other than when GoL first came in with an extremely depleted roster. You cannot declare they will be before they are, but no, 2-10 or worse is pretty bad. The FCS loss has pretty much sealed that, unless we go 4-4 in-conference.

But GoL won't be going anywhere until mid 2016 at the earliest. I don't care what program you're in, that's what happens.

We might actually have a chance against Tulane since their offense is just as inept as ours. Come on three wins!

I'm hoping our stout front 7 gives them hell all game. Our young DBs have been near solid so far, only giving up 1-3 big plays per game.

I think they will be the difference in the 2nd half. We clearly have the talent to keep teams out of the end zone in the first half. It's just finishing that has been our problem every game. It's like we regress in the 2nd half, and more than just can be explained by failing to make adjustments.

You are going to forget all that noise when the players are hoisting this sweet hardware over their heads (near an outlet with an extension cord of course)!

Sadly, in some sick, perverted twist of our own arrogance in the greater universe of karmadom, Christendom or whatever ... winning the CT game and the Civil ConFLiCT trophy this may provide a bit of gratification, even if more comic relief to some than one of a real relief from losing, all thanx to the insistence of Bob Diaco.

Especially if we go winless to that point, ala Marshall of 2005 (okay, that was a troll'ish comment).

I hope no one takes anything away from the kids if that is how the scenario plays out. What started as an one-sided trophy with the other side treating it as a joke might actually be some strange reward for those on the team that had to endure the season thus far ... especially those on-the-field.
