It's time to let the chips fall where they may...I feel a bowl game may be in our near future

However, I also think it's good we're not being picked for fifth since we're still quite young and I'd rather we did have that pressure put on us. Exactly right. There's immense pressure on any team picked to finish 5th in conference.  Not on "any" team. Only on the Aztecs.  |

Wyoming and Air Force are properly ahead of us until such time as we demonstrate we can defeat them. The MWC media does not have access to the same kool aid we drink and rose colored glasses we wear. All they see are impressive wins by AFA and Wyo. against us last year. When they look at us all they see is a late season collapse. We have to show it before anyone will believe it. In Hoke we trust. The Fred Noonan School of Navigation.  Wyoming, Air Force, and SDSU could all finish 4-4 in conference. AFA plays at SDSU and at Wyoming. If AFA loses one of those games and the team that beats them loses to the other of the 3 teams, and all 3 beat the bottom teams and lose to the top teams, we would have a 3 way tie at 4-4. I predict that will happen. With the most likely sceniaro being the Aztecs beating AFA. |

4th or 5th and a bowl game. I agree with this. "San Diego State has finished at or higher than its projected preseason ranking in four of the last five seasons." |

I agree with this. "San Diego State has finished at or higher than its projected preseason ranking in four of the last five seasons." Well considering who the coaches were the projections weren't all that difficult. |

Well considering who the coaches were the projections weren't all that difficult. The quote says we finished higher than projected. Although when you are projected at the bottom, there's not much room to go anywhere but up. |

Wyo Schedule 2010: September 4 Southern Utah September 11 at Texas BOWL TEAM September 18 Boise State BOWL TEAM September 25 Air Force BOWL TEAM October 2 at Toledo BOWL TEAM October 9 at TCU BOWL TEAM October 16 Utah BOWL TEAM October 23 at Brigham Young BOWL TEAM October 30 San Diego State (2010 BOWL TEAM) November 6 at New Mexico November 13 at UNLV November 20 Colorado State Really you think Wyo is going to be a challenge by the time we meet them realizing what their schedule is? Me thinks NOT! depth has NEVER been a Wyo trait... We will kill them (San a Lindley injury) Not going to look it up, but we've only won a handful of games all time Laramie, have won basically a road game a year the past few years; it will be hard regardless. and, they could be demoralized and quit when they play us (which I am sure our past teams would have done if they were in their shoes) or the could be looking at the first game of a stretch where they have to win-out against the bottom half of the league to go to a bowl game. You assume playing the big boys means they are going to be injured - maybe; could just as well mean that with whom they've played they will be seasoned to crush those final four teams. Consider CSU in 2009. They started 3-0. Then they predictably lost at BYU, but then lost a heartbreaker by two at Idaho, then lost another heartbreaker to Utah at home by seven, then predictably got hammered at TCU. Then they led us 21-7 at halftime in Fart Collins but once we got it going in the second half, we steamrolled them and they went on to lose their next six. I'm not saying the same will happen to Wyoming this year but they figure to go into the game with a losing streak just like CSU did in hosting us last year and certainly expect to beat us since they always do in Laramie. So if we should win that one, it could put them in the same tailspin as CSU in 2009. |

Although when you are projected at the bottom, there's not much room to go anywhere but up. 2005 Proj 8th Fin T4th 2006 Proj 6th Fin 7th 2007 Proj 8th Fin 6th 2008 Proj 7th Fin T8th (AKA LAST) 2009 Proj 8th Fin 7th Couple of notes. 1. The paper was wrong we have either met or exceeded expectations 3 out the last 5 years. 2. The Average Pick has been 7.5 and the median has been 8, therefore you are correct that there was not much room to not to met or exceed but we still did. 3. We have averaged 2.6 wins over the last five years in conference with the median being 3. 4. State needs to 3-1 OOC to become bowl eligble since 3 seems to be number we can expect this year. 5. With 6 Wins, we better hope the frogs are in the Fiesta Bowl so we can go to ABQ for a Bowl game. |
