this could theoretically be a lot like 2011, but we got a LOT of "lucky bounces" that year and didn't have to play stanford.

But if we would have played Stanford that year and won, then the loss to Baylor would have not hurt us as much. We would have been an extremely good 1 loss team.

Isn't Mike Warren the RB who fumbled and gave us the W in MHK last year?

scottwildcat · « **Reply #1730 on:** August 09, 2016, 04:44:34 PM »

Yeah, but he also put up 195 yards on us.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #1731 on:** August 09, 2016, 05:18:41 PM »

The QB fumbled to give us the win, Warren had a big fumble though. Warren is good but he is too high on that list.

cfbandyman · « **Reply #1732 on:** August 09, 2016, 05:22:01 PM »

Warren fumbled twice late, and the last one he had allowed us to tie. QB had a fumble to allow us to win, but he still did very well in the game outside of that.

Kansas: Kansas State -- Football at the highest level in the state of Kansas isn't great right now, but the Wildcats are still far better than the Jayhawks -- there isn't an FCS team to be found, but I'm willing to hear arguments for Butler Community College or Dodge City Community College in this spot. Kansas State went 6-7 last year and the ol' Snyder Magic can make the Wildcats dangerous at any time to any opponent. Meanwhile, Kansas is just trying to win a game.

What in the actual eff? The worst P5 team would crush any Juco team out there.

Robby Kalland and Chip Patterson are both such rough ridin' hacks.

JFC this TCU love is ridiculous...although, yes, they will probably run a train on us again

OU is without a doubt the team to beat.

They lost their QB, their backup QB, their RB, two top WRs, and 4 of 5 starting offensive linemen. I don't see how they could possibly be picked to win the league

5th isn't that ridiculous. It's not like finishing 5th would equate to them doing a damn thing this year, either.

i think tied for 5th is the highest we've been picked this year.

TCU winning the league is a ridiculous assertion. OU will win with one inexplicable loss.
