Sadly, I agree. But on the bright side, that means we only have to go 6-4 over our next 10, and we're dancin'!

After the usc game, I posted (a little reluctantly) that the Bears were likely headed for a rough finish. I placed the over/under for the remaining 8 games as 2.5, based on what i saw as 1 "likely win", 3 "likely losses", 4 "toss-ups". I still stand by that. But if I had to pick a specific number, I'd pick 2, and even that now seems shaky.

Even 2 more wins would be a 4x improvement over last season.

Great win over UW but the last 5 will be tough. Watching Oregon vs OSU now, Oregon looks vastly improved. I think our best chance will be at Stanford.

Agree, and yet I don't think the record comes close to telling the whole story of how the program is better than at any time in the last seven years. Fabulous win today.

Go Bears!!

In order to get a winning conference record, we need to finish 4-1. We have to sweep the Oregon schools at Haas, split on the road against the mountain schools, and beat stanford

Now there's five to go. I'll take a shot at it. Let me say that I'm a bit partial to the "reversal theory." Seems like with a team like ours it tends to happen more often than not. So far it's held true with ASU, UCLA, USC, WSU, and Washington - all splits.

So I'm going to go with 3-2. We beat the Oregons, lose to Furd and Colorado, but somehow beat Utah even though it's a really hard task to do it at their place. My crazy logic for this one - if a Mark Fox coached team can do it (three years ago), then I will at least give this years' guys a chance. Disclosure: None of the comments in this post should be used for gambling purposes under any circumstances!

Oregon State and Oregon are wins. The thing about Colorado is their defense is awful which will allow our offense to function well. I like our chances with Colorado. Utah is a different story. A very injury plagued team that we will be able to take advantage of. I also like our chances with Utah. Stanford will be a tight matchup that's more of a coin flip. They could drain 19 threes in Maples or only drain 3 threes. I'm hoping we get the sucky Stanfurd team that night.

I know I'm biased, but I don't recall ever seeing a Furd home game when they didn't get some type of benefit from the zebras. The famous "5 second violation" a few years back that was more like 3.5 seconds always comes to mind.

we've beat every Pac12 team we've played except for AZ (we don't play again) and Oregon (we were leading big on the road),

we haven't played Utah or Oregon State yet.

Oregon and Oregon State are at home.

Every game is winnable

So far, my first three designations (made after the usc game) have come out exactly right:

Ucla: toss-up (lost by 1)
@WSU: likely loss (lost by lots)
@UW: toss-up (won by 2)

The remaining games I had as:
OSU: likely win
UoO: likely loss
@Colorado: likely loss
@Utah: likely loss
@furd: toss-up

Over/under of 2.5 wins. But with all of those toss-up games as a slight lean towards loss (IMO), my guess was for the under and a total of 2 wins. I hope I'm wrong! (But hopefully this prediction is at least a counter data point to those who think I'm pure sunshine pumper.)

Any of these games are winnable or losable for the Bears.
