Could be 6-0 going into Autzen and 8-1 going into home game against UCLA.
This schedule is really setup favorably to make a run. Few tough games and they are all spread out.

The Arizona schools are set up to be trap games ... but the Cal and Colorado games are perfectly set up in the schedule.
Having regional/rivalry games against Oregon St and the Cougs where they are in the schedule should help us out a bit if we are in contention for a big finish.

that's the FAIR expectation according to PL_FS
But the reality is that our 4 toughest games of the year (if you use 2013 as an indicator) would be Stanford, Oregon, Arizona St, and UCLA. 3 of the 4 are at home.
Biggest thing w/ Oregon is that they actually have to play people this year before they play us. We know that they tend to get in trouble later in the year as their QB starts to get beat up. This year before they play us they have to play Michigan St (super physical defense), Arizona (who they almost always struggle with), and UCLA (week before they play us).
In contrast, we have a bye week and Cal the two weeks before playing Oregon. Not only should we be fresh for this game, but we should have ample time to transition from the smash mouth that we'll get from Stanford to the spread systems that we're going to see with Oregon and Arizona State.
This is the best chance that we've had to beat Oregon in the last 10 years in my opinion.
And I'll always expect that we're going to win our home games.
I don't think they have a QB on roster that has taken a collegiate snap, not 100% certain on that though.
And with Carey most likely entering the draft, they have some shit to figure out.
I actually think that ASU home game following our game at U0 will be more difficult. We haven't beaten Sparky in a long fucking time.
