I fear the Rutgers and CMU games most, but I have to go with my long term pick of undefeated. If the Bobcats do get to 13-0, they will most likely end up in the Top 25 even though they will probably not really be the 25th best team in the country, and may get matched into a bowl where they will be a definite underdog.

@ New Mexico State - W (Bobcats start out with a big win over an overmatched NMSU team)
vs Gardner Webb - W (This one is a no-brainer)
vs Marshall - W (First test of the season but Bobcats win by at least 10)
@ Rutgers - W (Cats score first and never look back, DelBobcat is in the stands to experience it!)
vs Kent State - W (Sweet, sweet revenge)
@ Buffalo - W (What is Buffalo sucks?)
vs Ball State - W (In front of a big crowd at Peden as talks of Top 25 start to get thrown around in the local media)
@ Akron -  W (Akron can't compete as their horrible offense is even more horrible this year)
vs Temple - W (Sell out crowd at Peden and the Cats win a close one to move into the Top 25)
@ Central Mich - W (The Bobcats almost lose this one even though they are clearly the better team. In the end our offense is just too potent and theirs is non-existent)
@ Bowling Green - W (They have zero rushing game and they'll already be beaten up by NIU the week before, leading the Bobcats to a decisive victory)
vs Miami - W (The Bobcats earn another mug (six in a row!) in this hard fought Battle of the Bricks)

Regular season record - 12-0

MAC Championship (if applicable) - W (A toss-up but I'm hoping the Cats don't disappoint)
Bowl Prediction (if applicable) - L (Hope I'm wrong but I agree with the earlier post that the Cats will get pitted against a stronger opponent after barreling through this easy schedule)

Final Record - 13-1 (An amazing season! One that will go down in OHIO history!)

@ New Mexico State - W (start the season off right with a strong win)
vs Gardner Webb - W (GW plays hard but the Bobcats pull away in the 2nd half)
vs Marshall - W (the defense forces 4 turnovers to lead the Bobcats to a 2 TD win)
@ Rutgers - L (a close game, but we come up short late)
vs Kent State - W (start conference play with a statement victory)
@ Buffalo - W (Buffalo sucks)
vs Ball State - W (BallS sucks)
@ Akron - W (Kron sucks)
vs Temple - W (Temple sucks)
@ Central Mich - W (I thought about chalking this one up as a loss, because it's a road game, but I think we pull off the win)
@ Bowling Green - L (we always blow one we should win, and I think this one is it)
vs Miami - L (Miami sucks)

Regular season record - 10-2

MAC Championship (if applicable) - L (I really hope I'm wrong on this one)
Bowl Prediction (if applicable) - W (finally get that bowl win)

Of course, I had them doing about the same last year.  Still, I think this team has plenty of potential.  I think they'll lose at least one nonconf game; if it comes down to Terd or Rutgers, I'd rather they beat the Terd.  Besides, Rutgers is getting back to its old game plan instead of spread, hurry-up, so they'll be tougher than people expect.  CMU worries me because there's the likelihood of a letdown after beating Temps and looking ahead to Fiami.  BG will be a tough one too, especially if they're still in the hunt or have fired their coach.  Remember, they were picked 5th by the MAC media, and the 5th place pick has been a consistent winner in the East.  Go Cats!!!

Final Record -13-1

@ New Mexico State - W (total blowout)
vs Gardner Webb - W (plan vanilla offense, little passing, boring game)
vs Marshall - W (big win, by three TDs, doesn't bear any resemblance to last year's tussle)
@ Rutgers - W (win by two TDs in the birthplace of college football, outcome never really in doubt)
vs Kent State - W (revenge for last year, and 'Cats pile on the points)
@ Buffalo - W (squeaker, a let down after KSU pounding)
vs Ball State - W (closer than expected win in front of largest Homecoming crowd in history)
@ Akron - W (Frank goes very conservative in second half to prevent total embarrassment of the Roos.)
vs Temple - W (Owls get pounded, and look headed for a losing season and no bowl game.)
@ Central Mich - W (big scare, CMU leads until 4th Qt when 'Cats passing game starts smoking.)
@ Bowling Green - W (comfortable two TD victory)
vs Miami - W (Frank becomes all-time leader in redchicken wins on a percentage basis, eclipsing Brian Burke)

Regular season record - 12-0

MAC Championship (if applicable) - W over Toledo (first in many a decade)
Bowl Prediction (if applicable) - W (over BCS team in non-MAC tie-in non-BCS bowl with decent payout.)

Not that I am a total pessimist...but here is a nightmare scenario - just to spice it up a little...

@NMSU – W (1-0) [Team plays well – confidence among BA faithful is high]
Gardner-Webb – W (2-0) [win - - everybody plays]
Marshall – W (3-0) [huge, emotional win – get a vote in a poll]
@Rutgers – W (4-0) [Ohio wins a close one – exciting game – there will be SportsCenter highlights - OU receives votes in all polls – BA begins a BCS topic]
Kent – W (5-0) [sweet revenge and few more votes]
@Buffalo – W (6-0) [an unimpressive win and we receive less votes – board gets chippy]
Ball State – W (7-0) [a win on homecoming is checked off the to-do list – not yet ranked in any top 25]
@Akron – W (8-0) [an impressive win, but still not ranked]
Temple – W (9-0) [a rout – OU breaks into the top 25 – BCS Thread gets pinned on message board ]
@CMU – W (10-0) [classic "grasping victory from the jaws of defeat win" – BCS talk on BA heats-up]
@BGSU – L (10-1) [Trap game – terrible loss - BCS Topic is unpinned..  Basketball board heats up]
Miami – L (10-2) [This one hurts.  An unTHINKable big-time loss at the hands of the ForeHawks. Fiami wins East – “Move to FCS” thread starts on message board]

 MAC Championship Game – Miami loses to Toledo (TU is now ranked and gets to play a Big Ten school in a Bowl Game)

Potato Bowl – L – Nevada (10-3) [a ten win season never felt so bad]

Is it Basketball Season yet?
