This just quantifies what we already knew; 2012 is going to have some massive challenges with just a few gimmes.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Thanks, as usual, Tom. The Notre Dame quarterback shift cannot be fitted into any such power evaluation/guesstimate, of course. That is the dramatic number shifter that we hang our hat on. It is what will give reasonable hope to the MSU. UM, and Stanf games. Oklahoma's power rating is very likely inflated now that several key players are gone.

 

[Patulski]

I will be surprised and disappointed if we don't beat all the teams we have more talent and depth than -(Wake/Navy/Pitt/BC/BYU Purdue) - and don't go into the 4th quarter positioned to beat MSU/Miami/Stanford/and Mich) who are teams with similar talent. I'd like us to win all four of those games, and think we have the talent to win all four, but would settle for three wins. I'd accept a 10 point loss to USC and OU because we're young at QB and building our skill positions. That would make us 9-3 with one tough loss to a team with similar talent and two losses to more seasoned programs with better talent.

That would set us up nicely for 2013.

Eh. I think, to shut everyone up, we need to pull an upset against SC or OU. I'd love to see us overachieve and shock a lot of people

That would be icing on the cake.

There seems to be some angst about Golson, but this is Kelly's recruit and Kelly has a good track record with QB's. I'm hoping for a Terry Hanratty sophomore type of year, where he helps elevate the entire team and takes everything up a notch. Golson and GAIII are the key to whether we're good or on our way something special in 2012 imo. If those two add big plays to the normal productivity of the offense, we'll be tough to beat.
