In Reply to: Urban Meyer: Bob Chesney is 'Coach of the Year candidate' after UCLA 4 posted by mh on October 07, 2026 at 09:09:34
Personally, I think everything is premature right now. No one can predict injuries, outcomes, etc.
I still think back to the Vegas Golden Knights first season. It was all players not protected by their current teams and predicted to finish at the bottom. Got the nickname 'Golden Misfits'. VGK started the season really hot, fans were talking playoffs, media was reminding everyone this is a fluke and zero chance of the playoffs. Be lucky to finish close to a .500 record. Next thing you know, VGK is not only in the playoffs, but the Stanley Cup Finals. I see some similarities right now in realistically UCLA should end up average, but the team is playing with a lot of confidence and purpose. It's just fun going game by game and seeing what happens.
