If we win out and get to 8 wins, I would be thrilled and be excited about our bowl game. If we win 7, my joy diminishes. If we win 6, I hope we stay home.

CMU and WMU played two payday games against P5 opponents while we played just one and yes, I agree with our scheduling, it allows us another much-needed home game. It also, however, gives a much better chance at a "W" but no $$$$. A 6-6 record with two payday games is somewhat appealing, with just one, it is not.

I'm amazed that EMU gave Creighton an automatic year extension for simply making a bowl game, given the Murphy experience of 20 wins for such. When half of the FBS goes to bowl games and the basketball coach can load his schedule with D2 and D3 opponents, are we truly rewarding exceptional performance?

I really hope we win out with 3-0

2-1 to get to 7-5 is what I predicted and I'd be ok with that. I don't love it, but given our lack of good coaching schemes and play calling, that is about right.

1-2 to get to 6-6 is an embrassment given the talent we have.

Remember that we get a chunk of $$$$ for a bowl game and I'm pretty certain the better the bowl game, the more money.

Hopefully we win out but I'm thinking it's 2-1 to get to 7-5

I remember predicting 5-7 with all the question marks on special teams, a defense that hadn't improved all that much and questions at QB.
