Toss up between 3-4 and 4-3 depending on opponent in 7th game.  For the 6 scheduled games, 3-3.

Unfortunately, my money is on scrapping the season after game 3 because of the health situation.

Unfortunately, my money is on scrapping the season after game 3 because of the health situation.

Aided by Stanford being 0-3 at the time . . . 

If season is completed, I'll go with 1-5 for the first 6 games.  No clue which one (other than it will NOT be Oregon).

Thanks for your reply, bbm233. Just based on what we've learned from college football east of the Rockies (will U. of Houston ever play a game?), I included that option in the poll. I think it's likely that there will be cancellations of Pac-12 football games during the 7-week stretch that has no built-in byes. I suppose it's possible to make up cancelled games later in December, but I don't see it happening. In any case, I'm just hoping that Stanford is not one of the teams affected.

Of course, based on somewhat recent history Pac-12 games could also be cancelled due to wildfires, smoke from wildfires, earthquakes...

Yuk, indeed.  Although in the grand scheme of 2020, poll functionality breaking is a refreshing throwback to the kinds of things that used to keep me up at night.  I will see if I can take a look at this later this week.

My mind says 3-4.  Oregon St, Colorado, and WSU are winnable.  We may lose one of those, while picking up an unexpected win from among Cal, UW, and Oregon.  If we get an equally placed team from the South for game 7, that game should be a toss-up. That's how I'm at 3-4 -OR- 4-3.

But my heart says 7-0 and a Rose Bowl appearance against Michigan.  In my fantasy scenario, all of the following turns up Roses:
- Incredibly good injury and Covid luck.  Particularly Mills but also OL and DL.
- Josh Pakola, Ricky Miezan and JMF turn out to be beasts and are better than their predecessors.
- Young new OL guys that we haven't seen, like Branson Bragg, are beasts. 
- Austin Jones, Nathaniel Peat and possibly EJ Smith form a dynamic, multi-dimensional unit.

Of course, all rosy scenarios involve Mills living up to his abilities and getting enough protection to perform. I have a good feeling about how he's going to look this year, but an uncomfortable feeling about our ability to protect him, run the ball effectively, and keep him healthy.

[winflop]

Poll is not working I get an error.

I'm going for 3-3 regular season and a complete toss-up on the seventh game because I have no idea who the opponent is

The middle of the defense really concerns me - at all three levels

The technical problem saved me from having to enter a less optimistic prediction than I'm accustomed to.

I don't have a clear picture of which players area available for us, but my impression was we lost people, or lack replacements, at key positions.

5-2, offense gets lucky with no bad injuries and is a juggernaut. Defense can't hold vs Oregon and Wash.

Might as well roll a die. How can you predict?

That said 6-0 so why the hell not?
