I wanted everybody opinions on these predictions. Not just my fellow hog fans opinions.
You'll have arguably the toughest schedule in the country (if preseason SoS is to be believed). 7 wins is a long stretch from your win total last season.

Strength of schedule this time of year is based solely on the combined records of our opponents last year. That includes NIU going 12-2, they won't be nearly as good without Lynch and they just lost their best running back for the season.
So while our schedule is hard because we play in the West, it's not really that much harder than any other SEC teams. We play Nicholls State, UAB, and NIU, that's three wins pretty much guaranteed right there. I believe we'll beat Texas Tech, that leaves 8 games to win 2 for a bowl game.
Probable losses are Bama and Auburn, so that leaves 6 winnable games. Not really that daunting when you break it down.
