9/3 vs Texas State -- Win, and by at least two TD's

9/10 AT Kansas -- Win, barely, at the end maybe.

9/17 AT Tennessee -- Loss. I can't see any way UT doesn't throttle Ohio.

9/24 vs Gardner-Webb -- Won in the 1st half.

10/1 AT Miami -- Win

10/8 vs Bowling Green -- Win - as long as everyone is healthy, in what could be one of the best homecoming games in a long time.

10/15 vs Eastern Michigan - Win, by more than vs Gardner Webb maybe.

10/22 AT Kent State -- Win

10/27 AT Toledo -- Loss, UT looks the part of the best team in MACtion.

11/3 vs Buffalo -- Win

11/15 AT Central Michigan -- Loss, tough place to win

11/22 vs Akron -- Win, by a small margin. I think Zippy improves again this year.

Makes Ohio 9-3, 6-2. Head to head over BG gets them to Detroit.

6-6
Maybe a bowl game depending on how other commitments play out.

QB play has me a little unsure what to expect as we have very little returning experience since Sprague is no longer going to be on the field.

I will also believe it when I see it that this team will not fall victim to the late October/November loss fest that consumed past teams.

There is absolutely no way in you know where that we are below .500. I say worst case is we go 7-5 with losses to Vols, BG, Central, Toledo and either Akron or Beefs. At best we lose to Tennessee and one MAC team of either BG, Toledo or Central. I would love to Row the Boat and beat Western and that pretty boy PJ Fleck in the MACC Game. And losing to Kent will not even be thought of. They lost their best player for the season already to injury.

Final Record: 13-1

Post Season News; Slavin starts thread to fire Frank because he hasn't gotten us into a playoff slot in 12 years, and says this is what would happen at a real football school. He cites blowout loss to Tennessee as an example of Frank's inability to coach in big games.

I think we'll probably go 8-4 with losses to Tennessee, BG, Toledo, and CMU. But that's not my official prediction. This is my official prediction:

9/3 vs Estado de Tejas - Win. Something along the lines of the opener at New Mexico State in 2011.
9/10 AT Kantsas - Win. They're bad, guys. Really bad.
9/17 AT 10'see - Loss. Just don't get hurt. Just don't get hurt.
9/24 vs The Other GW - Win. Typical FCS game. Closer than you expect early, superior depth allows us to pull away comfortably in the 2nd half.
10/1 AT Fiami - Win. Miami sucks.
10/8 vs BGSUcks - Win. Revenge game on homecoming. We'll be ready.
10/15 vs Large Flightless Bird - Win. EMU sucks.
10/22 AT Kant State - Loss. The WTF loss of the year.
10/27 AT Fat Man U - Win. The WTF win of the year.
11/3 vs New York State University at Buffalo (University of Buffalo (Buffalo, NY)) - Win. Buffalo always plays us tougher than we play them, but it's at home, so I think we get it.
11/15 AT Central - Loss. CMU has Frank's number, and I think CMU might be the West's sleeper.
11/22 vs Kron - Loss. The November swoon strikes again.

Akron's win over us gives them the East, Terry Bowden gets hired away before the MACC (to....we'll say.....Vanderbilt...because why not?), and WMU wins the championship. PJ Fleck is hired by Nebraska, once someone in Lincoln realizes how weird of a hire Mike Reilly really was. PJ Fleck pays back Frank for his counsel in the MAC and schedules an Ohio Bobcat game at Nebraska in 2021.

You obviously haven't noticed Ohio laying eggs to Kent State in the past few seasons. Especially in seasons Ohio should have blown their doors off.

2013: KSU wins 44-13
2012: KSU wins 28-6
2010: KSU wins 28-6
2009: KSU wins 20-11 (this was just the worst)
2007: KSU wins 33-25

Last year's 27-0 win over KSU was really the only blowout a Frank coached team has had over Kent State. They ALWAYS play Ohio tough and I don't understand how or why.

2005: Ohio wins 35-32
2006: Ohio wins 17-7
2008: Ohio wins 26-19
2011: Ohio wins 17-10
2014: Ohio wins 17-14
2015: Ohio wins 27-0

This game is by no means a guarantee.

9/3 vs Texas State - Win, pull away in second half
9/10 AT Kansas - Win, close game, but Cats pull away in the 4th
9/17 AT Tennessee - Loss, it will be a slobberknocker
9/24 vs Gardner-Webb - Win, Cats will get back on track after taking it vs. UT
10/1 AT Miami - Win, enough said
10/8 vs Bowling Green - Loss, actually expect this to be a little closer
10/15 vs Eastern Michigan - Win, EMU is forced down to FCS after this
10/22 AT Kent State - Win, going to KSU always worries me, but I think Ohio pulls it out
10/27 AT Toledo - Loss, UT will come in trying to beat out WMU for West
11/3 vs Buffalo - Win, Close win for the Cats
11/15 AT Central Michigan - Win, another place that makes me nervous, but I think Ohio pulls out the win
11/22 vs Akron - Win, last game of the season, Cats pull out a 3 point win

MACC vs. WMU - Loss
Bowl - Win

10-4 (6-2 MAC)

Since Kent's 11-3 season, its first winning season in seemingly forever, the Flashes have gone 4-8, 2-9, 3-9. This year? Before they host Ohio, they will have played at Penn State and Alabama, hosted Akron, and for the two weeks before the Bobcats come calling will be on the road at Buffalo and Miami. I could see the Flashes losing all those games. Their only seemingly assured wins: home to North Carolina A&T and Monmouth. Home to Ohio? How much piss and vinegar still will be coursing through Flashes veins?
