Hopefully BYU has another down year. That game got a lot more winnable. They just lost to Umass at home but who knows one year to another.

Honestly, if this year is any indication, all of those games are winnable. Nothing to be afraid of, that’s for sure

Love it. That’s a G5 AD preparing to win a national championship before even knowing the roster.
95% of G5’s will be eliminated from national title contention before the season due to scheduling. NIU won’t be.

And ESPN cant touch BYU date right?!

To be honest though, I don't think a G5 no matter what the SOS, would ever be allowed to participate in a playoff. That's kind of why the CFP committee was devised in the first place, to keep control of what happens.

Win those games and the conference, it's the access bowl for sure.
RE: Yikes! 2018 football OCC games... - MaddDawgz02 - 11-20-2017 01:16 AM
Win 3 of the 4 and conference and its probably access bowl for sure. Lets just hope Huskies hold up injury-wise. That's a really early bye but probably desperately needed bye after those opponents, but does make for a long time of playing football with no break in conference season. Not ideal to have BYU sprinkled in the middle of conference season but definitely worth the price of having that opponent in Huskie Stadium. I assume no Guaranteed Rate game, which is good, they don't need to be travelling more than needed with this schedule. Will be interesting to see how TV is handled for BYU and on what platform it shows up on.

It is a path to an access bowl, if the Huskies can stay on the road.

man...0-4 or 1-3, very possible, this board will be insane and ready to cut the entire program, mainly frazier and carey
go 3-1 or 4-0, they will be gods, never to be touched
Frazier has given us a 'big boy' schedule, can't argue that
RE: Yikes! 2018 football OCC games... - Splooie99 - 11-20-2017 09:29 AM
To even have a shot at winning all of the OOC games, we must have a 100% QB improvement in the passing game. If the passing game is not improved, we will be in trouble. Also, we will need to replace Huff. He is far and away the most difficult piece to replace. He is heads and shoulders ahead of the others. But, I think there is room for improvement in the RB position as well. Our DB's have been getting lit up the last few weeks. Not sure what the problem is, other than the oppositions QB play is better. We also need a new kicker. I like our Punter.
I like our D's front 7 for next year as well. I think we can be competitive with those 4 teams. Time will tell. Hopefully, Smith can stay healthy stay on the crazy pace he is setting up for himself. He is Beastmode for sure.

If they win 1 of Iowa, Utah, and FSU I’ll be satisfied.

This is a dream schedule. Thank you Mr. Frazier.

if this kind of scheduling doesn't fire of the fan base, nothing will... not even hot dogs.

Is Florida State supposed to have that QB back, that got injured early this year?

4-0

I mean it they win out against that schedule (highly unlikely) and say FSU is ranked same with Utah and Iowa, I think they would have to be knocking at the door of the playoff right? Look at UCF..... their top wins are against Memphis and Maryland and are ranked 15 and even #12 in one poll. If say Toledo was also ranked and we beat them then it would add to the SOS. It’s not impossible, just need a perfect season and all the teams we play to stay ranked. I believe! Haha

Part of the reason to create the 4 team playoff was to allow the teams to be controlled that could participate. A mid major would never ever ever be allowed to participate , and that includes AAC
