You're looking for a prediction on just these 11 games, right, i.e. not including post season play......

This is a very tough sked that will certainly test HC and give us a good idea of the state of the team by the end of the season. As Bart Scott said: CAN'T WAIT!"

Hey everybody. What a tough schedule. I love that the Crusaders are challenging themselves. Will put more spotlight on the school and the sports programs.

challenging to have a very strong season with only 4 home games

Here's what my thoughts are at this point in the pre-season:
@ Morgan State= 90% chance of winning @ UNH= 40% @ Albany= 85% Dartmouth= 45% @ Lafayette= 90% Bucknell= 80% Harvard= 30% Lehigh = 75% @ Colgate= 50% @ Georgetown= 80% Fordham @ Yankee Stadium= 55%
This adds up to 7.2 wins so I'll go with 7

Well, honestly, do you think they would go to NCAAs winning only 7 or even 9 games? But, if you think they will win more than 11 games, feel free to pick the "Championship Season" and just put an asterisk in a separate post.

Ooooo! You obviously forgot that the game in Yankee Stadium is a "home" game!

I'm going with 8-9 wins and will be very disappointed if this doesn't materialize. Looking forward to a great season! Go Cross!!

Smart move . . . under-promise and over-deliver. I've consistently over-expected the last 3-4 years and been disappointed. Then, again, I was a Brooklyn Dodger fan.

Very "dangerous" schedule imo. Four out of the first five are on the road, the home games are mostly against strong programs.....I don't think we "overscheduled" ...I just see this schedule set up to potentially get us in a hole that we can't climb out of ultimately.
I think winning 2 out of the first 3 games on the road is critical to get momentum going into the rest of the season.

4-5 wins. Take Dom Randolph out of his record and TG is quite mediocre.

Give me 6-5 with the hope that it's better than that.

A fan of "da Bums"...that explains a lot. Wait until next year became their annual rallying cry. (I remember when the did win a title just before heading west. The Brooklyn fans I watched the game with were happy, but a bit subdued. I am not sure hey believed what they just saw. HC could be around .500 (1 game over or under), but heck we are currently "undefeated" in 2016, so I will hope for 10 wins and pray that my guess is not proven wrong in week #2.

The two who voted for 10-11 winds were early voters. The losing record crowd has come on strong. Let's see how this plays out. My personal prediction was 8-9 wins (more specifically, 8). BTW, isn't that a good looking crowd in my avatar? Missing some key classmates, though (paging hc70!).

For those who might be interested, the 2016 football roster has been updated with numbers for all of the incoming frosh (and a few number changes for returning players).
