Looks like we are all thinking along the same lines except for David who is a bit higher

I'm saying 9-3 to 11-1, depending on turnover mitigation and game management.
WMU will want last year's game back, but they are still beatable at home.

7-5.
That's the maddening inconsistencies of BSU sports.

I'm going into the 2021 season hopeful, but we are not the most talented team in the MAC and at the end of last season everything bounced our way to allow us to be champions. It wasn't a fluke, but things easily could have bounced a different way.
From top to bottom the MAC is always very competitive and next year we will have a target on our backs. We will get everyone's best shot. I put our chances of a repeat championship pretty low but will be very disappointed if we don't still have a good season. I'm thinking 8 wins.

It wasn't a fluke, but things easily could have bounced a different way. Whether it was everything bouncing our way, or it was everything coming together and the team getting hyper focus, whichever, it is not easy to see close games go your way, avoid problems and do it again.
Especially the Championship game and bowl game. Our year sort of proved how favored teams can see it go South. It's a long season...
It's good to have a reliable QB returning, it's possible our defense improves. We should have a better team overall, but so will other MAC teams with seniors returning.

It’s going to be one of those seasons where we will be an improved football team but the record won’t show that. It’s a tough schedule, PSU is PSU and Army is damned good (9-2 last year) so that’s two highly probable losses. I definitely think we can lose 3 in CONF play. 7-5 (5-3 in the MAC) might look like a step back but it should get us a bowl and we’d still have a chance to win another bowl. I’d certainly prefer 8-4/9-3 but last season was such a special circumstance that reverting to back to the sloppy play we’ve been used to might be what we see.

I’m thinking we r actually going to tighten things up a bit. Defense should be better and more experience overall should help.

Western Illinois - W @ Penn State - L @ Wyoming - W (But no guarantees here - I could see us losing out there) Toledo - W (No guarantees ever against Toledo) Army - L (It takes very disciplined football to beat Army - not really our strength under Neu) @wmu - L (Revenge will be theirs for the taking, plus they have more talent) @emu - W (No guarantee) Miami - W (No guarantees, but I think we get them this year) @akron - W @niu - W (Certainly no guarantees up there, but their program is a hot mess right now) CMU - W - (No guarantees) UB - L (Revenge will be theirs for the taking, plus I think their talent is as good as ours)
So, I'll go 8-4, but 6-6, 7-5, or 9-3 wouldn't surprise me. 10-2 or 11-1 would be a huge surprise.
Honestly, I'd consider 8+ wins to be a successful season.

I Went back and forth on wyoming.. Army I think it depends on who they have coming back.. You can make them one demionsal though and I think stockton will

I had forgotten the Stockton factor. The offensive side of the ball is where we tend to have most of our discipline problems. I still think Army will be a tough game, though. They can wear you out with their style, and if you make some mistakes (turnovers/ special teams) they make you pay.
