Just looking at the notes for next week. This team has 44 true and redshirt freshmen? Plus our QB is a Freshmen and we are starting 4 freshman and there are 17 in the 2 deep.
Here is our Schedule. I am calling an undefeated season baby!!!!

Globe,
Glad to see your projections in THREE years.... using that model, just remember that Miss. St. just beat Fla. last week, and are coached by a former BG coach, Dan Mullen.
P.S. - any projections for the next TWO years?
Education our Challenge, Excellence our goal. (look it up)
Actually not next year but the year after we should be pretty good. On offense we will lose Kamer, Hodges and Bojicic but Shcilz and Hopgood will be srs, the OL will have 3 Srs and a Jr who have played together an entire year and Woods will be a Sr on D. That might be our best bet.
The thing about our schedule is every year IMO, even when we've been loaded in somewhat recent years like from 2001-04, it wasn't our non-conference schedules that tripped us up, it was the MAC that got us. In 2001 we beat Missouri & Northwestern but lost to Miami, WMU & Marshall (in the MAC at the time). In 2002 we beat Missouri (again) and Kansas but lost to NIU & Toledo. And in 2003 we beat Purdue and nearly knocked off Ohio State, but we lost to Miami twice (including hosting the RedHawks in the MAC Championship). Even as recent as 2008 when we were picked to win the MAC East when we beat #25 Pitt and hung tought at Boise (20-7), we lost at home to EMU, Buffalo and Miami and to NIU on the road. While I do like the way our non-conference schedules balance out with a nice mix of teams, it's the MAC slate that's been our Achilles' heel.
