team next year. They have their difficult (home/away) conference schedule next year. If they hit 6 wins, next year will be a major success for them, imo.

But other than that, you're spot on. I think 8-5 would be a good season against this schedule. A great season would be 10-2 or 11-1.

If our opponents perform well, I think we could get into the playoff discussion at 11-1. 12-0 we can't be left out.
