If you would have told me we had 7-8 wins at the beginning of the season,

I'd think that was pretty great. If you told me some of those losses would be to Utah State, Boise and Utah instead of Wisconsin and Arizona, I'd be ... confounded.

Hope we beat those odds.

Cool

So they’re saying it’s more likely that we’ll only win 1 more game than that

chilango

9/23/18 8:12pm

.1% chance at getting to 11 wins...

I believe in math, I really do...but this chart doesn’t make sense

The probability of winning two games will always be lower than the probability

chilango

9/23/18 9:05pm

Good point...so this chart is purely mathematical then

Yes, see the post below.

chilango

Yes. Whenever you multiply anything by less than one, the number is smaller.

It’s is interesting that they think we’ll probably lose to USU

chilango

9/23/18 9:16pm

That was the one that really stuck out to me. Underdogs to Utah State at home?

colton

9/23/18 9:36pm

Yeah, I don't feel good about that game but I still think >50% chance we win

Lalau

9/23/18 9:46pm

7-8 wins is the most likely scenario, eh? I can live with that.

Lalau

9/23/18 9:10pm

I'm still pulling for 9, but won't be disappointed with 8.

9/23/18 9:13pm

I guess I’ve gotten greedy. At this point, I think I would be disappointed with

chilango

I set my pre-season expectations at 6-7, so I'm happy if we beat that.

Lalau

If we lost to UW, Utah state, Boise st, and Utah it would suck.

Mr. Scoobs

9/23/18 9:20pm

Yes in that we didn't reach the full potential that we've shown, but still

Lalau

9/23/18 9:51pm

So highly probable we win 7. And a 50/50 shot at beating USU and getting 8.

GOR

If this actually played out it would be a depressing finish.

Mr. Scoobs

9/23/18 9:42pm

Dang it someone laughed. Did I fail at math again?

GOR

9/23/18 9:42pm

All I have to say is the credit rating agencies caused the recession

Heath Squashwell

Beat UW and the numbers here will change drastically
