Extremely likely. I’ve watched a lot of B12 games, and I think we should be competitive with everyone. No team looks like a world beater. It might not be the most likely outcome, but at this point I don’t think it’s insane at all to think we could make the championship game and have a shot at the playoffs. Even FPI (which weights last year's record and recruiting and hates us) has the Cougs favored in all but two remaining games (UCF and Utah).
Plus, I didn’t come here to be reasonable. I came here to be excited about the Cougs being undefeated in the first five games in their second year in the B12.
