6. What will be the higher total? Billikens wins in nonconference OR Billikens wins in conference (regular season only)? non-conf wins = conf wins

This is an interesting question. First of all, it doesn't even give an option for the 2 values being equal - despite the fact that it's happened in 3 of the last 4 seasons!

The non-conf schedule is loaded with perceived cupcakes, while every game in the A10 is a battle. On the other hand this 'evolving' team should be playing better in Jan-Feb-Mar than in Nov-Dec, and there are significantly more conference games than non-conference games.

There are 13 non-conf games (since we're including Rockhurst). I don't think anyone projects them winning all 13 (although if they win at Wichita St, they're capable of anything). I have them losing at Wichita St, and slipping up in one or two other games. 10 or 11 wins seems about right from a cautiously optimistic POV, even with the cupcake schedule. Remember the Jett-Evans-McCall-Loe freshman class lost home games to Austin Peay and Bowling Green. We should all be prepared for one brutal non-conf home loss.

The A10 schedule expands to 18 games this season. While an A10 3-peat may be unrealistic, going 7-2 at home and 3-6 on the road is a fair expectation. 10 or 11 wins again seems about right from a cautiously optimistic POV.

13. In what calendar month will the Billikens have the most wins (credit is given if multiple months end tied)? February

14. Who will have more wins as of December 1st? Saint Louis Billikens or St. Louis Rams? TIE

The Rams currently have 3 wins and play the dumpster fire Raiders before Dec 1st. They also play Denver at home and San Diego (losers of 3 straight) on the road. The Rams will most likely have 4 or 5 wins on Dec 1st, with an outside chance at 6 if they decapitate Peyton Manning early enough in tomorrow's game.

The Bills play 6 November games. They will most likely win 4 or 5 of them, with an outside chance at 6.
