We are not winning six games, so the point is moot. I think we might get a fourth win, but if we continue playing as we have, 3-9 seems more likely than 5-7; 6-6 is a pipe dream.

But even if your position is that you have no interest in going to the toilet bowl, i would think that would make you agnostic about getting to 6-6 instead of actually rooting against the team.

I would very much like to be proven wrong in my conclusions about the team, but there is a large contingent of people who would rather be right than win.

For what it's worth, on paper, Sagarin scopes out our schedule like this:

Colgate - WIN

USC - LOSS

at Washington - LOSS

at Oregon - LOSS

Oregon State - LOSS

at Notre Dame - WIN

Arizona State - WIN

at UCLA - LOSS

Washington State - 43 percent

at Utah - 12 percent

at Cal - 50 percent

BYU - 61 percent

Expected win total: 4.66

Sagarin isn't gospel but to me it suggests 4-8 and 5-7 are both more likely than 3-9. I would hazard that 6-6 is no more of a pipe dream than 3-9 is a realistic fear.

By the way, this is of interest to fans for our own entertainment and for assessing Shaw's public image, job security, etc., but we already know what kind of team we have and that doesn't change if we're 4-8 or 6-6. We're in the irrelevant mediocre morass.
