KSU and Auburn


By the looks of this graph, I'd say Auburn is mumped come Sept. 18.

the most interesting thing i learned from this post is that Texas Tech's 2008 was every bit the fluke that Kansas' 2007 was.

i mean, *almost* as big of a fluke, obviously

Didn't feel like starting a new thread so thought I'd put this here... Snyder is 6-12 since coming back, with 4 of those wins coming in 2012.

Is this top 25 at the time of the game or at the end of the year?  If it's "at the time of the game" then its pretty silly IMO.

Yeah, it's at the time of the game. Not a great indicator, but still interesting. I would have guessed more than 23 wins in 22 seasons for LHCBS.

Generally speaking, Ole Bill didn't/doesn't really regularly upset teams.  And when you essentially hover ranked around 25-15, that means a win over a ranked team is an upset.   On the flip side Bill didn't/doesn't really regularly get upset by teams either. 

Of note: it says Bill has played 66 ranked teams in 22 years... that's on average 3 a year.

KANSAS STATE

(18) Mississippi State, at (20) West Virginia, (21) Texas, (25) Oklahoma State, at (5) Oklahoma, and at (16) TCU

Average rank: 17.5

Though Kansas State’s average Top 25 opponent rank is the lowest among any of the teams featured here, it’s also the only FBS team set to play a whopping six members of the Coaches’ preseason poll.

What puts the Wildcats over the top is a Week 2 visit from (18) Mississippi State. To add to the fun, they also double up on back-to-back games vs. ranked foes: at (20) West Virginia and (21) Texas (Sept. 22 and 29) and at (5) Oklahoma and at (16) TCU (Oct. 27 and Nov. 3).
