Obviously every prediction is subjective and thus, subject to a three-page discussion about it. I went 7-5 based on everything I wrote (what I've observed, knowing the ebbs and flows of this program from following it all my life just like you guys) [URL]http://cnycentral.com/sports/college/niko-tamurians-2015-syracuse-orange-football-preview[/URL] The predictions I REALLY put stock into are those of great football minds. These guys just have that 1st hand experience with the program that doesn't always make them right, but gives them a ton of credibility. If you watch our Orange Zone show (Thursday, 6:30-7:30 on NBC-3) you'll see I have Damien Rhodes and Danny Conley make their predictions. Since I love the board, I'll let you know ahead of time that Damien Rhodes predicts 7-5 on the show (with the extreme temptation to pick 8-4) while Danny Conley says 5-7. What does it mean? What a lot of you all think, that 5 to 7 or 8 wins is pretty realistic. There are several swing games that could be the difference between us being on cloud 9 or hurting. Wake, South Florida, Virginia, Pitt, NC State, Boston College are here on September 2 close games. Win four of those six, plus URI and CMU=6 wins Win more=a better bowl. An upset or two? Then we're all getting "44" tattoos I really, really think people are putting too much stock in how a depleted, turmoil-ridden team lost games at the end of the season in '14. A Scott Shafer defense is always going to cause the other team problems, and the now-healthy offense under new leadership gives me confidence in a 7-5 prediction. That all said, perhaps the most informed decision comes from Jack the Sports Dog, who predicted 6-6. I'll take it. WAR DAMN ORANGEYES [/QUOTE]
