A two game spread is your margin for non-surprise? You, my friend, need to get out more.
I mean, a result of 4-8 would be disappointing, but not unforeseeable. AS you point out, it is a tough schedule, there is a lot of uncertainty for this team, and fluke things happen. I could easily see us lose all three of our non-conference games, plus losses to UW, WSU, Oregon, UCLA, and USC. Hell, Cal might be better than expected and we could go 3-9.
On the flip side, another 10-win season seems a bit of a longshot, but isn't that crazy. We will be very strong on D-line and cornerback, which are the ingredients for a lock-down defense. Although the schedule as a whole is challenging, we do have a favorable home/away break.
I think this might be a high variance team with a lot of question marks but a lot of potential studies, so we shouldn't get stuck on 6-8 wins.
