6 wins and I'm very happy. Injuries and legitimately having a competent defense will determine our fate. Can we stop anyone and make key plays to win close games? No doubt,we have added some really talented pieces on offense. Tongue,Fenwick,Noyer,and others could make our offense really potent. The key to winning is making a key third down...a key stop...a big play...causing a turnover,etc. I think we're capable...let's take that next step.

This prediction is from same media members who picked Beavs basketball team to finish 12th in league last year. Bad call media people. It's just easy for them to overlook OSU. Happened all the time to Riley's teams who generally finished higher than predicted.

I think the talent is better than what they are predicting our record will be +1 Transfers into the OSU program are highly rated athletes ready to play. Recruits from the last few years are ready to play. Freshman talent is building, and a few of those players will likely see the field in 2021. Beavers will win 4 games in Pac12 play (maybe 5). I think the Beavers might surprise some folks with a win at Purdue. I read this thread - it still stings today when Beaver fans reference the OSU win over Oregon in 2020. Yes, my misery persists. All this, and the Beavs coaching staff..... the grittiness we've seen in the comebacks...this program does not give up, and that's a testament tothe leadership

Beavs start 3-0 and win 8 games minimum.

Looking at the schedule I do like the 3-0 start but winning 8 doesn’t seem feasible. Stay healthy, defensive line is better then expected, Secondary is decent and the offense puts points on the board I see a record of 5-7 to 7-5…..let’s get this thing started.

Beavs start 3-0 and win 8 games minimum. At Purdue is HUGE. I'd take the Beavers straight up to win that game. Momentum could carry OSU to 4 wins in Pac12 (maybe 5). Better team and better coaching than outside observers give credit. Coach Smith and staff earn respect with 8-4 regular season.

I'm obviously being optimistic, but I think it's fair to say OSU is underrated and being overlooked. I think they are at a level now that they can play with any team on the schedule, will beat more than one team they are expected to get crushed by (USC, UO, UW, ASU, Utah), and probably lose to someone they shouldnt.

Pretty similar to what would have been predicted in 95% of the seasons since 1999.
Even when we were consistently "good", we were over-achievers.

Even tho we've beaten Cal tge last couple of years they still pick them ahead of us. It's a narrative that doesn't easily go away.
