I really wish I was more confident but there are too many unknowns...not only with the Cowboys, but several other teams as well.

Two losses could swing pretty easy (BSU and UT), while three wins could turn into dogfights and swing also (ISU, KSU, TCU). That being said, if we win out up to UT, I would pick us in that one. An ass-kicking at BU the following week and I would then pick us over OU and WVU since it would mean our D has come around.

I'm kind of joking, but expect something like this due to the average PMI (Poke Misery Index):

Every one of you predictors of a loss to UT need to stop reading the bevy of summer football magazines you seem to be drawing from for your "insights." UT hasn't done jack in years yet those magazines keep making predictions that never come true. UT has a crap-ton of money and first draw on prime Texas prep football beef yet can't pull all the parts together. As another poster noted, I'll believe when I see it on the field and the scoreboard. Until then, they get no R-E-S-P-E-C-T here. H/T for the passing of the Queen of Soul this week...

The scheme is different. But we return half of the interceptions and the only sack we got from that game.
And the score wasn't even as close as it looked, as WVU got 14 points off of non-offensive plays.
I think picking the WVU game as a loss is trendy because the national media is super high on Will Grier because of the QB talent that graduated last year. But as Mike said, it was our run game (King in particular) that hurt WVU last year, and our line should be better along with the RBs more seasoned. Plus, if Cornelius is the man, he's apparently under-rated as a runner, so I like our odds.
