How many wins with this schedule....?

I see 3 but is there a 4th and who...?

I think 5-7 is the most likely outcome. 7-5 or better would mean that stoops has his groove back.

Win three OOC, win in Nashville, and scratch out one other SEC win (Auburn? Ole Miss?).

I bet your in the ballpark with those estimates...I'd imagine the Oline will not be near as poor in 2025 and that alone will pull out a squeaker that we lost

I know this message board has turned into RR 2.0 with the doom-and-gloom, but, despite how miserable last year was, we still beat a really good SEC team on the road and damn-near beat UGA while also being close with UT. While I think 5 or 6 wins is most probable, it’s not like teams like UL or Vandy or UF are so far above us that we have no chance to pull one or two out.

Agree with this

3-7. It really just depends.

5-7

Before the portal additions I was predicting 4-8. I now think we can do one better and go 5-7.

The swing games seem more on the road.

Maybe beat ole miss at home. 6 and 6 at best.

No way to know how all the newcomers will perform. We've seen highly regarded OL from MAC-like levels do pretty well and get crushed at SEC level. Same on the defensive side. A lot of new faces on the O and no way to guess what they'll look like in real competition. Remember that the buzz out of spring last year was how awesome BVG and the offense was looking. We saw the results.

Schedule is brutal, again. Other than 3 OOC, I don't see any others that we're very likely to be favored in. I think 5 wins would be a good season, honestly, which severely dampens my enthusiasm for the upcoming season.

I hope I'm wrong but history is difficult to ignore.

Everyone is right on what should be the win total. What I have learned in the last few years is that you can't predict what kind of team Stoops will put on the field.

Not sure why everyone thinks the schedule is any worse than usual. I kind of think we came out okay. 7 home and 5 road is good; UT, Florida, and Ole Miss here is better. We play a couple of the weaker teams on the road which is best case scenario.

If everything holds up I can see 6 wins being a very real possibility. I can also see 3 wins being a real possibility.

Don't see it but hope you're right

Regardless of predictions, after last season Mitch said the program can be turned around "quick". Anything less than 7-5 is not turned around.
