Way too early predictions for this upcoming season.

[DuckzRule]

This is something I really like making everytime a season ends and we wait for another one.

This year we have a pretty difficult non-conference slate with Georgia and BYU, with Eastern Washington sandwiched between them, and then we continue with a similar schedule to last year's except the locations are swapped (ex. Utah in Autzen Stadium), for now, I predict we will finish with either a 9-3 or 9-4 record (because of the Pac-12 championship) with losses to Georgia, the P12 South team in the championship, and some other teams.

We will probably land on the Las Vegas Bowl or the Alamo Bowl again, I will prefer the Las Vegas Bowl because I really wanna play an SEC team due to our lack of future scheduled games against the conference.

Schedule:

vs. Georgia
Eastern Washington
BYU
at Washington State
Stanford
at Arizona
OFF
UCLA
at California
at Colorado
Washington
Utah
at Oregon State

I think 8-4 in regular schedule. Win in CCG. And win in bowl game. I got 10-4.

Put me down for 9-3

[UOducksTK1]

We had a better regular season than I expected last season.

So I have no idea. All new coaches, literally a whole new offense except some of our OL. It's a crapshoot to predict this year. I think 8-4 would be my over/under number.

[OregonFan4Life]

I’m gonna go 9-3 with losses to Georgia, WSU (PAC-12 after dark trap game, plus there’s gotta be early struggles for an entirely new coaching staff), and Utah.

[alxtw]

it'll be interesting to see how much our offense opens up and gets creative with Mario gone. Dye staying would have really helped the transition.

With KT and Verone gone, our defense will take a step back from an individual standpoint, but the defense next year as a unit and playcalling and scheme will most likely be an improvement over last year's.

Mostly likely we don't fall or rise too much from last year's record.

[SuperDuck]

I can see a 10-11 win season. I'm not 100% certain that we lose to Georgia or BYU.

It's going to depend on the development of Bo Nix, the RBs and how quickly the defense gels.

If Flowe is back this year at full go, he could be an NFL caliber LB. That would be a huge offset for any player transitioning out. Fingers crossed he’s the stud we’ve been waiting for.

How prescient

[GrandpaDuck]

8-5 biggest weakness, pass defense & inconsistent offense. This is my homer pick, 7-6 was my first guess. Non-conference schedule is unfortunate scheduling with more difficulty points than needed.

No way this team loses 5 games. We played a large majority of last year without half the original starters on defense and return a lot of starters and have added some good transfers, including a all conference CB. If this team stays healthy, they should be better than last year. If they get the QB situation figured out, rose bowl is easily attainable and a potential dark horse for the CFP.

9-3 for me, with a CCG and Rose Bowl victory.

Meh, my pick is a no lose. If they do better I'm thrilled. If they get beat by for example Georgia, BYU, UCLA or other, Utah and a bowl opponent it's not the end of the world having lost virtually all their starting offensive skill position players, an OC in his first job of being the primary offensive coach and a defense that will be real short on experience at 3 of the 5 secondary positions with no proven disruptive pass rusher in the front 4 to help them out. If they lose 5 games, I won't be feeling Lanning was a bust and under achieved.

[QuackininBama]

Keep in mind Utah graduates half that team this year, so they are dealing with an entirely new roster as well.

Being that Lanning hasn't show us anything yet, nor has he ever been "the buck stops here", I will go realistic as he has never played against the Pac-12.

Schedule:

vs. Georgia Yea loss- 0-1
Eastern Washington- Win 1-1
BYU Win 2-1
at Washington State Win 3-1
Stanford- We are going to drop one of these two, it happens every year, so I will say win here 4-1
at Arizona- We get caught sleeping here, loss 4-2
OFF
UCLA- Outcoached in a high scoring game in the final 5 minutes. Last second field goal LOSS 4-3
at California-We get back on track 5-3
at Colorado-Win 6-3
Washington-Win 7-3
Utah-This isn't the team that graduated half its starting lineup to the NFL, Win 8-3
at Oregon State- Welcome to the Pac-12 Lanning, Loss 8-4
