Buffalo: Community Projections
It's Friday, which means it's time for Community Projections! This week, the attention span-draining task of looking at non-conference comes to an end by taking our final look at Buffalo. Here's a look at what went down earlier in the week:
Here are the questions, awaiting your response in the comments below:
1. What is the final score of the Mizzou/Buffalo game in Columbia?
2. What record will Buffalo finish with in 2008 and what bowl (if necessary) will they be invited to?
3. Where does Vegas set the point spread for this game?
4. How many yards will the Mizzou defense surrender?
5. What will be the Faurot Field attendance for this game?
On an interesting note, only half of Buffalo's 12 games are set to be played on Saturdays. I can't imagine going to class on WEDNESDAY the morning after a big conference game. Hooray for Mizzou being in a BCS conference. To save you a trip to Google, here's Buffalo's schedule in 2008:
8/28 vs. UTEP
9/6 at Pitt
9/13 vs. Temple
9/20 at Missouri
9/27 at Central Michigan
10/11 vs. Western Michigan
10/18 vs. Army
10/28 at Ohio
11/4 vs. Miami (OH)
11/13 at Akron
11/21 at Bowling Green
11/28 vs. Kent State

The Beef's take...
1. What if the final score of the Mizzou/Buffalo game in Columbia?
Oh lord…we all know we dont run up the score typically on people…so I will go with the somewhat expected 48-13.
2. What record will Buffalo finish with in 2008 and what bowl (if necessary) will they be invited to?
I will say 4-8 and I have no idea why or how they get there
3. Where does Vegas set the point spread for this game?
Vegas will set the spread at 31 points…which I would not touch because of our penchant for not running it up and a late TD to break the spread when we are giving Resonno and Hamilton et al plenty of reps.
4. How many yards will the Mizzou defense surrender?
302 yards
5. What will be the Faurot Field attendance for this game?
1pm game…should be a lovely day…they will announce the crowd at just over 60,000, though there will not be that many there, especially after halftime.

Best guesses:
1. 55-17
2. 4-8 with no bowl, guessing that Temple, Army, Kent. St., and a wild card road win in conference play are their victories.
3. Mizzou -28.5
4. 231
5. 57,637 (Putting my guess at 1,500 more than the Illinois St. game last year)

Let's see...
1. What did I say in the Roundtable? 51-3 or something? We’ll go with that. Buffalo’s got some talent, but they’re not excellent at any one thing, and I think you need something to lean on against Mizzou this year. Then again, Iowa State didn’t do anything particularly well against us last year, and they gave us a bit of a game. So maybe I should bump that down a little bit…no, 51-3 it is.
2. I’m saying 6-6. Upset UTEP, beat Temple, beat Army and Kent State…win two of the remaining 8.
3. I’m leaning toward Beef’s 31. But to be different, I’ll say 31.5. ONE DOLLAR, BOB!!
4. 278
5. 57,638. Heh heh heh.
