Predict the Schedule – 2023

[Coot]

I believe Las Vegas is putting the under/over at 9.5. I figure the two most likely losses will be at Alabama and at Big-12 refs. The at Big-12 refs could be 2 losses but if UT can only play one close game, it should be only one loss. 10-2

 

[BWilk55]

KFord rankings have Texas at exactly 9.5 wins. Favored in all but 1 game (Bama) and pretty big favorites in all but 3 games (Bama, OU and TCU).

I actually think TCU won't be that tough and I think Tech will actually be a tougher game. I'd swap those two percentages. 

I'm also not as concerned about OU as KFord is.

Vegas put the total at 9.5 for blowU as well.

As long as Dillon Gabriel is the QB, ou will not get to 10 wins. Some speed on the outside, some nice defensive improvements. But they aren't there yet.

Rice – Blowout

Bama – I call a win here because of QB. Ours is better and theirs hasn't had much time under center for that team. None of their three options are good ones, either. We take a narrow win.

Wyoming – Blowout

Baylor – Should be a TD or better win.

Kansas – Will be a tough, tough game. We win tho

Oklahoma – Blowout (lol)

Houston – Tight win

BYU – 2 TD or better win

K-State – Horns win a close one.

TCU – They have a new QB to break in, but this will be well into the season so he may have settled in by then. Dangerous game. TCU pulls it out.

Iowa State – 20 pt win

Tech – We need to kick them in the teeth one last time.

Thats 11-1 and a berth in the Conference Title Game, which we win over either OSU or TCU.

12-1 and good enough for the CFP.

What say you?

I second Big Daddy Cane's point in saying it never plays out the way it shows on paper, and I absolutely will not get sucked into drinking the koolaid until I see us win games we're supposed to win. 

Rice – W

Bama – L

Wyoming – W

Baylor – W

Kansas – W

Oklahoma – W

Houston – W

BYU – W

K-State – L

TCU – L

Iowa State – W

Tech – L

Prediction: 8-4. Hope they prove me wrong.

Baylor is going to be awful this year. QB is improving, but they lost a lot.

K-State, TCU and Tech and Kansas are legitimate threats at an upset.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Plus, you may want to add a loss in there just because Big 12 refs. They will not be kind to us next year.

We need to blow everyone out as best we can.   Close games and close calls will not be kind to us.

 

[BWilk55]

Vegas put the total at 9.5 for blowU as well.

KFord has them at 9.56 wins. One big difference between us and them is the non-conference schedule - they play SMU where we play Bama.

That's why I posted. A positive expectation of D Gabriel flies in the face of everything most fans expect.

 

[TB14]

9-3. Losses to Bama, OU, and TCU.

 

[tejasrulz]

I think we go undefeated every year. So far I've nailed that prediction 3 times in my life.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

9-3. Losses to Bama, OU, and TCU.

And you even capitalized it?

Loses to Bama, OU and BYU.

What the h3ll guys, why are you capitalizing ou? Are you brand new Texas fans?

They're woke.?

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Penciling in a loss to ou is tough for me to do. I mean, come on. 49-0 to losing in just a year, with our roster being better?

We probably won't score 49 points but we will win by at least two TDs.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Beating ou will depend on Gaberil if he is healthy and plays whole game they will be tough.
