Best/worst case scenario 2016 Arizona State football: Could Sun Devils miss a bowl game?

Best case: 9-3 (6-3)

The Sun Devils are almost always a really hard team to predict the past 10-15 years, they underwhelm when they are expected to be good and overwhelm when expectations are low. I think most expect the Sun Devils to win six or seven games, but I could easily see this being a season where they sneak up and overachieve. Todd Graham's system relies a lot on momentum and they have the personnel and comfortable schedule to make another surprise run.

Manny Wilkins could end up being a more-dangerous playmaker at quarterback than Mike Bercovici and Demario Richard and Kalen Ballage could be a punishing running back duo which is the best in the conference.
