OMG how could I have forgotten?!?

OU as well (sorry bout that)

Kansas State - I think they are one of the most underrated sleepers in the country.

Here is their schedule:

South Dakota - Win
Missouri - Win
Tulane - Win
@Oklahoma - Loss
Texas Tech - Win
@ Iowa State - Win (I don't think Iowa State will be that good)
@ TCU - Win
Oklahoma State - Win
Texas - Win
@ Baylor - Loss
@ West Virginia - Loss
Kansas - Win

9-3

Holding it together best we can.

I used to be able to participate in these kinds of threads.

Jesus GR, I was going to rifle off a couple teams on there but looking at schedules I’m not sure there is one. (I’m sure there will be but) wow that’s tough.. Maybe USC? Maybe LSU????

I'm interested to see if Martinez finally learns how not to throw it to the other team... assuming he wins the starting job. if they can fix him... who knows

I think there are some surprise teams in that group, just not sure who to put the money on.

Gut feel.. USC, OU, FSU, Texas, may have things in line enough to go 9/ 9+

The football gods kinda owe Nebraska some close games and they are desperate, maybe this is a good year for them,
LSU still has talent and Kelly imo is a better coach that Miles or Big Ed but like ya say, that schedule..

See I have them losing in Ames, to the pokes and possibly to Texas. But I do have them beating WVU.

Nebraska

If these guys can't do it, then it has to be Frost doesn't it.

Big year for Brown this year and WVU has alot returning up front, the new OC... They might surprise some folks too TBH. dunno bout 9 but 7-8... I wouldn't be shocked. That OOC schedule tho… should be fun but, tough as well.

I'd say fair or not it's make or break time. Problem is, I dunno who they gonna get thats any better? Outside lookin in it feels like someone high up has something against Frost and wants him gone TBH but end of the day, he needs to win at least a little more and go bowling for a few years.

USC - No. Believe it when I see it.

Florida State - No. Believe it when I see it.

NC State - Probably. Solid team, good HC, good weapons.

Nebraska - Uh, no. Pretty sure they need a priest or some shit. They’re obvs cursed.

Texas - Nah, they just plain suck.

Kansas State - Probably. Solid team, good HC, good weapons.

Oregon - Toss-up, I’m leaning yes. They’re still the PAC’s top team until proven otherwise.

LSU - Probably. Like most LSU HC’s, BK just oozes cringe but he’s a good coach.

Yeah I don’t know man, I think 7 is asking a lot given the schedule. Sure I’m pessimistic but we lost a ton on defense. Many via transfer. The two huge games I think they’ll need to win to get to it are on the road at VPI on a Thursday and on the road at Tech. They lose both I doubt they get to a bowl. Brown needs this year to be something more than 6 wins or that Seat is scorching. Not sure he’ll get it but I’ve been wrong before.

I don't think he'll make it.
Have never seen anything that tells me he will while at WVU.


casual observation though;

Florida State

This is the mystery meat.

If Nebraska can't get to 9 this year -- they may want to see if the Pac or Big 12 are looking for a new member. North Dakota, Georgia Southern, OU in Lincoln with OU losing half their roster and a new coaching staff. Northwestern, Illinois, Minnesota, Rutgers, Purdue...........Michigan on the road and Iowa on the road are their two most difficult games. Wisconsin always plays them tough, but it is at home -- can they really lose a 9th straight time to them?

That is about as soft as their schedule can get, as even Michigan on the road is a huge question mark as we lost the top 6 or 7 guys on our defense, so UM could be a 3, 4, 5 loss team.

 

[Wishbone]

USC and texas are both coming off losing seasons. 9 wins might be a stretch.
