Hakuho retires.

Now that's a wild guess!

Goeido goes 0-15 to balance his 15-0 yusho. If Kyokutenho can win a yusho at 12-3 and follow it up with 2-13, such a situation doesn't seem to be as improbable as it might appear.

I actually thought about posting Goeido going 0-15 but thought "nah"

It's possible if he gets injured before or on the 1st day.   It's not too far fetched of a scenario.

I am wild guessing that Goeido goes kaidoban.

Very clever use of the name goe ido.   Kadoban actually seems to me to be a far, far more likely outcome than another yusho. Then again, maybe the "real" goe ido finally showed up at the Aki basho. We'll find out soon enough.

Aran and Hokuranzan are amnestied by the Kyokai and enter the basho as Ms15TD.

I am sure you mean Roho and Hakurozan, right?

Oops.. of course I meant Cheech and Chong aka Roho and Hakurozan.

Ikioi wins the Yusho in a 3 way playoff with Goeido and Takayasu. 

[Bumpkin]

How about Ikioi defeats Hakuho in a playoff when Hakuho stubs his toe and falls down.

You are right. In his 13 bashoes as ozeki, he kadobanned 4 times.

Hakuho comes back strong from injury, but loses to a random doofus like Endo and doesn't take the yusho 

Goeido, feeling the pressure to become Japan's first Yokozuna in a long time loses his first match to Aoiyama. He drops four more bouts to finish at 10-5 and ends with no promotion.

Everyone expects Hakuho, Goeido or Harumafuji to be the winner, but the yusho is claimed by someone that no-one thought was capable of winning it - Kisenesato.

These are reasonable predictions, although it's much more likely Hakuho to win the yusho than Kisenosato.

That's what makes it a wild guess.

[robnplunder]

How about a playoff in Makuuchi,  especially,  a playoff between an Sanyaku rikishi vs M14/15/16?   And M14/15/16 rikishi wins it.

Aminishiki wins the juryo yusho and is back to makuuchi for January 

[Benevolance]

Though perhaps unlikely, given his M5 ranking, I would be content to watch Shohozan face-palm Goeidou out of the ring again. 

[RabidJohn]

I've been racking my brains trying to come up with something, but I can't help thinking that if I'd been asked this two months ago I'd have said kadoban ozeki Goeido getting a zensho-yusho was about as wildly improbable as it gets - and look what happened!

It's a bit tame in comparison, but my unlikely prediction is that Endo will get a KK at M3.

This is far too realistic for the wild guesses thread ;)

Good point on Goeido going from Kadoban to Zensho.    

What if I add Mitakeumi, Shodai to Endo's fate that they will both go KK.

[Gurowake]

Kisenosato goes 13-2 again, losing to 2 Yokozuna, and does not get the yusho. 

[Atenzan]

Here's how things will actually go. Kakuryuu gets angry and okurinages Endou into the second row, injuring (shimpan) Izutsu oyakata in the process. Izutsu is forced to retire, Kakuryuu intais to replace him, and Izutsu-beya merges with the new Naruto-beya, with (shisho) moto-Kotooushuu bossing Kakuryuu around daily for the next 30 years. Meanwhile in the basho Kisenosato freaks out and Endou starts a comeback, beating Kisenosato by windmill tsuriotoshi. Kisenosato kyujos out with a fractured cheekbone and Endou seemingly runs away with it, until he finds himself locked up in a three-way tie with Takayasu and Hakuhou at 14-1.. After 51 consecutive bouts of tomoesen, Takayasu beats Endou by izori and, right after that, Hakuhou snaps and kicks Takayasu in the jaw. Takayasu "wins" the bout by hansoku. He is promoted to Ozeki but is kadoban in March because he missed January due to complications following his jaw transplant; they've given him Kokkai's jaw and he attempts suicide after looking at himself in the mirror for the first time (the transplant was succesful).

Gagamaru starts his ozeki run.

Kaisei will have a 10+ KK and will be Sekiwake again, starting his Ozeki run.

And as a sekiwake in the Hatsu basho he will be make-koshi, thus ending his ozeki run.
