Not disagreeing with you.
I doubt that any knowledgeable even unobjective fan on this board thinks we will go 10-2 either. Anyone expecting 10-2 is just setting themselves up for failure.
All I'm saying is if the "average" fan 1 thinks we are going 9-3 with a loss to App, fan 2 thinks we are going 9-3 with a loss to stAte, fan 3 thinks we go 9-3 with a loss to Troy. Averaging out projected losses only, we are going to beat every Belt team, equating to 10-2. Then you could even extrapolate that out to the average fan thinking we'll go to 8-4 but with expected losses to 4 different Belt teams, with no one actually believing we'd go 10-2.
