Re: How many wins will Army have in 2017?

We gad 72 votes. 66 votes said Army will win 7 or more games in 2017. Great to see so many thinking this team is headed in the right direction.
Given that it's December and we're talking about Army football, nothing is a given. I've never been a big believer in predicting next season's record.... especially with Army football. Are we trending in the right direction ? Yes. Are we still wildly inconsistent ? Yes.
Looking at Fordham, Tulane, UTEP, Rice one would think those games SHOULD BE wins.
Buffalo, EMU, Temple, Duke, UNT, Navy, AF all could go either way. We should have beaten Buffalo this year but didn't. We beat Temple this year but have been trounced by them the past several years. We should have beaten Duke this year but didn't. UNT with 7 turnovers ? Hopefully we'll redeem that one today. EMU has been terrible but has become a good football team and is also trending in an upward direction. Yes we beat Navy this year but the last 15 years tell us that Navy will most likely be favored come next December. AF is very good but could go either way. OSU ain't happening. So we could be 4-8 or 11-1 or anything in between. Bottom line... it's December 27, 2016, and we won't know anything about the Army football team until they take the field against Fordham in 9 months.
