     I am sure there are smarter people out there than me, including 
you.  I could maybe see 8-3 but I could envision 4-7 or 5-6 as well.  
When I look at the schedule I only see two "sure" or "automatic" wins.  
That being Maine and Baylor.  All things being equal Pittsburgh and Wake 
Forest are likely wins but not "sure" wins.  As far as I can tell the 
rest are toss ups except Oklahoma.  Kansas is improved so I don't see 
anything easy about going to Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado.  Unless the 
Huskers play way above their capabilities and Oklahoma doesn't show that 
one is most likely a loss.  K-State and Texas Tech should be solid 
again, maybe not great but solid and at least one publication believes 
Iowa State is good enough to win the division.  So yeah, a winning 
record would be great after last year in my estimation.  I do agree with 
you 8-3 is a possibility that is there.  I want at least that but I am 
not going to be disappointed with less as long as it is over .500.  All 
these new recruits aren't going to be great right away.
