I'm bored. Work sucks. Seems like a good time to speculate wildly about things other than wins and losses.


Bold Player Prediction: Blankenship breaks McRae's single season TD record (19).
Bold Team Prediction: By year's end, the defense will be better than the offense.
Bold Conference Prediction: BG finishes behind Buffalo in the East (An offensively challenged team that has to replace its leading rusher and hasn't decided on a starting QB 2 weeks before the season starts [EDIT: Schilz was named the starter today. Doesn't change the larger point, since it appears he is on a short leash.] is going to win the division? No.)
Bold National Prediction: An SEC team does not make the BCSNCG.

This looks fun.

Bold Player Prediction (generic): At least one player makes an All-American team
Bold Player Prediction (specific): Travis Carrie plays great enough that his draft stock is mentioned in the first two rounds
Bold Team Prediction: Ranked in the top 25 at some point in the season
Bold Conference Prediction: At least three teams are ranked at some point in the season, our conference outperforms CUSA and AAC in the season.
Bold National Prediction: Notre Dame will not play in a bowl game a season after being in the national championship game

I can't tell which of the bold national predictions I like most, but I actually think they will all happen. Well played.

Bold Player Prediction: Daz Patterson will lead the team in non-passing TD's.

Bold Team Prediction: We are going to beat Louisville.

Bold Conference Prediction: Record MACC attendance... By a lot.

Bold National Prediction: Defensive Heisman
