Title: Can I please have your input?

If I were to plot a trend with the month of the year starting in March and ending in August on the x-axis, and how many games we think we might win on the y-axis, what would that look like?  Positive slope I suspect.

It seems like we've become more optimistic the last couple weeks.  Just curious if this is normal, maybe we're excited for the season, full of hope, and memories of previous letdowns (i.e. Baylor and CU last year) are less remembered.  Maybe this hope is warranted.  Just curious how YOU feel.

Historically, I believe the phenomenon you describe can be be summed up as follows:

stevedave's piecewise function sounds about right.
