Vegas has the line set at 5.5

I see 4 wins, 3 toss-ups, 3 not likely, and 2 doubt its

UNDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Ohio Bobcats' odds to win the 2023 College Football Championship are +500000

6-6

OU is always good for a baffling loss, so there are certainly some toss-ups in there, but I can see a path to 7 wins. Hopefully 6 and back to a bowl game would be nice.

It's a brutal open to the season, I'm not sure what Julie's cutting point is, but I honestly don't see a scenario when Albin makes it beyond the BYE week unless they manage to pull out one of the first three games. Reigns are handed over to Brian or Spense during the BYE, OU rattles off 3 or 4 wins - Miami would be a huge one. We probably end up hiring the coach that finishes 4-0, 3-1.

Just barely under.

5-7

I think a lot hinges on FAU and Fordham. If we don't have two wins by October 1, I don't see us getting to six. And if we don't rely on just one QB to handle both passing and rushing downs by the time we get to MAC play, so it isn't obvious what we're doing, I'm afraid it will be more like last year.

The more obvious question is when we run a read option will the QB ever be allowed to keep the ball, which is the point of the read option.

Hopefully the AD and staff are doing this very same form of what if's to be prepared...
