Baylor Football Blog "Worst Case" Season Predictions
Here they are. What is the absolute worst that I think Baylor's season could look? Again, this is not my personal prediction, just what I think are basically the "can't lose" games on our schedule, and the games that we have to show up to win.
Texas Christian University - Loss
We get them at home, but if we don't come to play and play hard, we can lose to TCU. This is going to be a tight game as it is, and we are going to need guys to make plays on offense and defense to pull it out. We very well might lose this game to open the season.
Northwestern State University - Win
D1-AA. We'd have to leave the first two strings at home to lose this one. They have a couple players, but they don't anywhere near the players to make this a game. This will be an easier game than Samford last year.
@Washington State University - Loss
On the road a LONG way from home. They have a quick strike offense and we could struggle in our first road experience.
Army - Win
We beat them last year on the road, and they are replacing both their QB and their RB. We can't lose this game.
Kansas State - Loss
This was the closest Big XII game to be a "Win" even on the worst possible season, but there isn't a Big XII team that we can sleep on and beat.
@Colorado - Loss
On the road in the thin air, the Bear Raid offense might slow down and the defense might run out of gas.
@Texas - Loss
Yeah, on to Kansas...
Kansas - Loss
See Kansas State
Texas A&M - Win
Fran could stay in B/CS and the players could coach themselves to a victory, I guess...
@Texas Tech - Loss
This was a loss in the Best Case, remember?
@Oklahoma State - Loss
Bobby Reid could have the light click on and realize he's got a ton of potential and start utilizing it. Doubtful, but possible.
Oklahoma - Loss
AD goes crazy and their defense shuts down our offense. You know, kinda like in 2004.
So, 2-10. The opposite of our "best case" scenario. I think it's more likely that we got 10-2 than 2-10, but probable and possible are two different things.
So, we've established that the season will end up between 2 and 10 wins. In the next entry, I'll throw my guess into the ring. As soon as I figure that out! ¶ 8/26/2006
