Still seems strange seeing these new opponents.

Wyoming is in the Mountain West.I suddenly realized Wyoming is in the Big 12. ASU had a bit of rivalry with them back in the WAC days.
I disliked that option offense they used to run.
Wyoming is in the Mountain West.
That is a non-conference game, along with Texas State and Mississippi State
Definitely some thorny games especially considering we really don’t know what this team will look like at this point. This looks like 4-8 thru 8-4 schedule assuming how the team comes together…starting with competent (or better) QB play.I am sure our Texas recruits are going to enjoy these road trips.

I really dislike trying to guess wins and losses this early but there is a path, and not an unreasonable one, to a 3-0 start. The success of the season is dependent on a bunch of things and a quick start out of the gates is one of them.I don't think 6-6 is out of reach, and probably even a reasonable expectation.
That's pretty much where I am at this absurdly early stage. I could go either way with Cincy, BYU, MSU and Arizona, and I can foresee a lot of really close games. Lots of bowl teams, including Wyoming.I don't think 6-6 is out of reach, and probably even a reasonable expectation.
Cincinnati was awful last year…yes ASU was too…but I think most would peg that as a win.That's pretty much where I am at this absurdly early stage. I could go either way with Cincy, BYU, MSU and Arizona, and I can foresee a lot of really close games. Lots of bowl teams, including Wyoming.

today, I figure UA wins the game but I’m not sure anyone can state the talent gap is considerable at this point. Maybe, maybe notI admire your confidence considering the game is in Tucson and the talent gap between the two schools is still considerable.
With Cowing, McLachlan, Coleman, and Wiley all gone, Fifita and McMillan may not have such an easy time of it this upcoming season. Not to mention the loss of talent on defense, or the potential impact that just changes in the coaching staff will have.I think there is still a gap, but it's significantly smaller after the portal departures to Washington and elsewhere. I don't see Arizona as a CFP contender any longer, but we shall see what happens. Looking at them through my maroon-colored glasses, Rashada and Badger could be more productive than Fifita and McMillan.
Well, my Rashada and Badger remark didn't age well , but I'm actually more optimistic than I was at the beginning of the year.I think there is still a gap, but it's significantly smaller after the portal departures to Washington and elsewhere.
