Actually I based it off of what I thought would happen. Here is why I thought we win 10 games.

1) Favorable schedule. Most of the tough conference games were going to be home games.

2) Last year we won by big margins. This years D looked to be as good as last years so this years offense didn't have to be as good as last years to win games.

3) TCU and Utah had to play us on the road. TCU was breaking in a new QB. Reasons to believe they weren't sure bets for conf. championship.

The loss to Tulsa shocked me. I thought we could lose either the Wyoming or Utah game. That could still happen and wreck my 10-2 prediction.

Quite frankly, and I could change my mind, I am right now more pessimisitic about next year than most.
