8-9 wins would have been my reflexive choice. I decided to let my optimism run free in the field and clicked 10-11. I think the USC and Oregon games are correctly weighted by WIM. But if our QB situation resolves tepidly, there's at least another loss lurking in that lineup. The big question is how will the team react to adversity? Will a loss, particularly an unexpected loss knock these guys waay off their game subsequently?  In the non-recent past we used to know the answer to that question. now it's more or a lingering, nagging kind of thought. I don't know which would be more painful, the loss or actually knowing how we lost.
