I'm typically off by a max of 1 game a year since GOL teams are easy to read. This year we have a damn fine BCS level schedule that will probably also include a respectable bowl opponent. Iv'e finally come to my preseason prediction after extensive internal debate.......
2012 Record - 10-4, Division Champ, Bowl Champ*
*Beat nobody all year.
2013 7-6 Final Record
Akron - W Our program is more mature than theirs
FIU - W Our program is more mature than theirs
@Penn St - L GOL can't win a meaningful BCS game on the road
USC - L Yea right
@Memphis - W Dumpster Fire
@Louisville - L GOL can't win a meaningful BCS game on the road
UCONN - W Our Program is more mature than theirs
Houston - W Very close one here. UH is almost a mirror of UCF in many years as is Tulsa.
@Temple - L This is our WTF game. Giant empty NFL stadium on the road in Philly just screams disaster like the UAB debacle
Rutgers - L This is the one I might be flat wrong on. It's got trap written all over it for RU, but again I think it's a late 4th quarter loss
Cows -W 1-4 would be the new score and it will require 2 wins in one year against State of Florida teams. GOL in 9 years is 1-10 against Florida Schools. Read that again, GOL is 1-10 in the State of Florida. That is almost unspeakable and why predicting wins over FIU and the chickie poos is a big deal. But both of those programs right now are running around on fire and primed for miserable seasons.
SMU -W June Jones needs to go, Dude quits coaching in some games when he is behind late. We saw it at the Brighthouse last year. The boosters hate him and he wants to go back to Hawaii to live. By this point in the year SMU will be out of any conference running and Jones could care less, we beat them because our program got some payback last year with a blowout, but we are hungry to get that payback in Dallas from 2 years ago. Bowl Game - -L The American has some nice bowl tie ins this year and that means a respectable opponent which translates to D1 > .500 = L (GOL)
