Just some random stuff as I sit here...
Obviously we can count Mayville State as a win on Weds (NDSU beat em by 40). Then it gets tough until we get to conference play. UW-Milwaukee is at Frost and a winnable game. They are 4-5 and beat UNI, lost by 3 to Marquette. They lost to our opponent after them, Western Michigan by 12. WMU is 2-4 but they have played some decent opponents (Xavier, UW-M, Illinois, Towson). I would be surprised to see us lose to both these teams as be 7-3 when we face Central Michigan. CMU, I believe is a very winnable game that we should be able to take. CMU is 2-5 w/ wins over CSU-Fullerton and Illinois-Chicago. That would put us at 8-3 and facing the Gophers, which should be a loss. We would re-enter conference play at 8-4/0-1. Can we go 12-5 and get to 20 wins? I think so. We start out conference play again w/ 3 very winnable games (@UMKC, @SUU, vs. CC). We get all three of those and we're 11-4/3-1. I don't know about you, but 11-4 and 3-1 in conference at the halfway point is a pretty good start.
