It's still IU football until proven otherwise so I don't expect this to happen, but there are definitely at least 6 winnable games on that schedule.

It'll be interesting to see what Washington looks like next year.

9-3 very well might get us a NY6 bowl.

Going 9-0 in those winnable games is an actuarial ‘barely possible’ feat.

8-1 is pretty likely?

8-1 is pretty likely?

There's ?'s but I think 7-0 is possible if I'm being naively optimistic. I'll say this is as good of a schedule as CCC could hope for to try and build momentum. Gotta go out and get things done though of course.

I won't be surprised if we go bowling next year. I also won't be overly disappointed if we don't.  

I see six games that can go our way, two possible games, one questionable game and the rest complete long shots.

We will win more than three games and won't go to into OT against a MAC school. I'll be surprised if we don't win five games.

8-4

While optimism is high, including with myself I’ll be happy with a winning record next year and beating Nebraska here when my friends come in town to tailgate from there.  Anything else is gravy.

Call me crazy, but the only two complete long shots I see on there are OSU/Michigan.

Washington minus DeBoer and with all the talent leaving isn’t as scary as it once looked. @UCLA and @MSU won’t be easy but also not what you’d call unwinnable games

Having the two long shots at game 10 and 11 is so huge for momentum purposes. How many years have we felt pretty good about things only to get absolutely s**t-housed by one of those two or Penn State?

On the other hand, if we're all wrong and things aren't going so hot, needing a couple wins in November is going to be a touch disheartening lol.

This must be what it feels like to be a fan for ANY TEAM heading into the Big Ten West for the last few years.

Here's my breakdown. Keep in mind, I believe every game is winnable, but that's just me. 

Can go our way
FIU
Western Illinois
Charlotte
Northwestern
MSU
Purdue

Possible
Maryland
Nebraska

Questionable
UCLA
Washington

Long Shots
Michigan
OSU

Some of y'all will probably disagree with some of this and that totally makes sense. The Possible and Questionable category teams can easily be thrown into a hat. I broke them down based on home or away games. And I just added Washington because DeBoer is no longer heading the ship.

If we go into October with only one loss that means we knocked off either Maryland or UCLA or both. And if that happens, buckle up, our conference season is going to fun to watch. Now if we go into October with only two wins than we're in for a long season but not out of the ordinary for IUFB. I strongly feel good things happening this season for IUFB where heads will turn and Coach Cig possibly winning Big Ten Coach of the Year. Or at least I want to believe that. On the other hand I won't be shocked if we don't win 6 games. I will be disappointed and surprised if he don't win 5 games. Just my two cents.

Western Illinois went 0-11 last season.  If we can't beat them, we're absolutely in trouble.

Well it did take us 4 OTs to beat Akron... but a lot has changed since then.
