Noah Coffman: 6-6 (4-5 B1G)
I’m the most pessimistic of the bunch here, so I figured I’d go first. Expectations for the Wildcats in 2019 are understandably high, but I find it hard to believe that Pat Fitzgerald’s squad won’t at least partially regress to the mean under the weight of a front-loaded schedule.
