I agree that due to the MW's weak level of play, 6-7 wins is possible despite the heavy graduation turnover. That said, much like 2014...just because Wyoming can end up in the top half of the jumbled mess that is the MW after the top teams in the league (4th-12th), doesn't mean they will. IMO, it is just as likely that this team goes 3-9 or 4-8 again. Hopefully the MW doesn't f-word the Pokes by positioning the schedule poorly again.

As of this moment, I see very few "likely wins" on the schedule, or "gimmes". Lots of toss ups and games where the favorite will only be favored by 5-7 points or so. Majority of those types of games did not go Wyoming's way in 2014 like many thought they would.

2015 IMO: Hope for the best, expect the typical.

Edit: Steele posted the full list, Pokes come in at #119.
