Just want to see peoples thoughts on next year. Being an FAU nut I want to say 11-1 but trying to be more realistic I'll say 9-3 (which some haters will still argue about). The only game that we are guaranteed to be big underdogs in is (unfortunately) our first one at Texas. Which sucks if we lose to have to start the season with a loss. However, I think we've seen that if you lose at all it's better to do it early and finish strong. Plus if you pull the upset your guaranteed some Top 25 votes. After that the other two could come from any number of teams. I know we'll be underdogs versus Michigan State but I beleive FAU will have a real legit shot to pull that one out. If I had to place a percentage of confidence in our ability to win each game here's how I'm presently feeling...

Texas

25% chance of victory

Alabama-Birmingham

90% chance of victory

Michigan State

50% chance of victory

Minnesota

85% chance of victory

Louisiana Monroe

70% chance of victory

Troy

65% chance of victory

Western Kentucky

65% chance of victory

Louisiana Lafayette

80% chance of victory

Middle Tennessee

65% chance of victory

North Texas

92% chance of victory

Arkansas State

70% chance of victory

Florida International

96% chance of victory

Don't count yourself out in the Texas game. you guys just might beat them, they was over rated this season and probably will be next. I know they looked good in there bowl game, but that might just be a fluke.  unless they really pick it up you could beat them and i hope you do.

Thanks, I hope we can at least keep it respectful in our first game. Some good things we have going is that I think they will over look us a bit and think of us as what we were originally scheduled as (an easy cupcake win to start rolling into the season). However, we are FAR better than they expected us to be when they decided to get us to go out to Texas. Almost, everyone that matters will be back for FAU next season and ready to pick up where they left off. The FAU players are going to EXPECT to go in there and win that game. They won't let the atmosphere get to them and will be ready to play hard. The Owls are one of the best teams at making you pay for your mistakes so if Texas makes any FAU will maximize any opportunities. Our QB Rusty Smith is going to have an amazing stand out year as well. Howard Schnellenberger found a jewel in that kid. He had very minor bumps this past season and is a real pro now. We won't have as many close games next season, we're going to blow some teams away!

I feel that it is better for FAU(and worse for Texas) that it is the first game and with our most talented weapons returning and are more experienced our flying Offense is killer I want to see a harmon leap over longhorns! Go Owls!

I hope Texas is ranked Top 10 in the AP Poll. I'm really feeling good about that game, I think we have a real good shot at the upset. Don't be surprised if some folks on television call our number if they ask what games are good potential upsets in the first weekend of college football. We're going to be on some people's radar and deservingly so. The Texas fans for the most part are going to have no idea who FAU is or what we're about. I think they'll be in for a nice surprise. CAN'T WAIT!!!

  Hey Owls! I voted 3 losses. Texas and Michigan state will probably be losses. Troy and West Kentucky will be a very close calls but eh others most likely wins. Good luck in '08 and go dawgs
