win predictions for upcoming 2011 ksu fball cats

[Dr Rick Daris]

cats won 7 last year with carson. so i'm guessing 9 wins this year due to having a good qb that won't cost them games is realistic. should i be shooting higher?

[EllToPay]

rick daris just unstrapped the gloves and threw them directly on the ground.

[Pett]

I like 8 wins next season (@ Miami is definitely winnable). Then if you look at the roster for '12 it looks pretty solid. 9-10 wins. Getting better every day.

[CHONGS]

The line for success in my eyes would be a 4-5 conference record.

5-4 would make me very happy.
3-6 time to start searching for a new FB coach

[Winters]

Could see 8-5 with a bowl win.

[Havs]

Could see 8-5 with a bowl win.

Thats where I have you guys.

[Emo EMAW]

I'm not sure which of us are smoking dope in this thread, but some certainly are.  Would be ecstatic with 8 wins (including bowl).

I'll be the first to mention Iowa State is falling off the cliff next year. Theres 1 win.

OPEN had a few down recruiting years and is loooking pretty soft this year, go ahead and pencil those guys in for  W.

[_33]

6-6. Not enough to be exciting in any way, but enough that idiots will want to give Bill more time.

[CNS]

In that sched, I see 6.

The swing games are Miami, Missouri, KU, TT, Ok State and A&M.  I have us going 2-4 in those games.  The floor is 4-7 (with 2 conference wins over ISU and Baylor) and the ceiling is 9-2 (with losses against OU and the CTR), depending on how we do on the swing games.  I think 6-5 is going to be pretty accurate.  

*But who knows

[pike]

My way to early picks:


9/03 - Eastern Kentucky W
 9/10 - OPEN
 9/17 - Kent State  W
 9/24 - at Miami (FL) L
 10/01 - Baylor  W
 10/08 - Missouri  L
 10/15 - at Texas Tech  L
 10/22 - at Kansas W
 10/29 - Oklahoma L
 11/05 - at Oklahoma State L
 11/12 - Texas A&M W
 11/19 - at Texas W  
 11/26 - Iowa State W

7-5

If we somehow lose 6 games I say we fire up the plane banner


Edit: I really think we should expect 8 wins, but I don't think we'll get it unless we win a bowl game...IMHO

*But who knows

This is really close to being exactly how I feel (including the *But who knows part).  The only change I would make is I don't think at KU is a swing game.  We'll beat them like rented mules again.  That's Bill's Super Bowl.  It's the one game the 'tucks judge him on and he knows it.  I have our floor at 5-6 and our ceiling at 9-2.  Something like this:

5-6   

6-5 

7-4   

8-3   

9-2 

[_33]

there are 12 games.

[Dr Rick Daris]

so let me get this straight...

-carson coffman was one of the worst college qbs in all of college fball last year
-kstate would've won mu and bu if carson didn't cost them those games
-we have both mu and bu at home this year
-collin klein was better than coffman
-collin klein is returning
-there are two qbs that are even better than klein that will be on the roster
-every wide receiver, the tight end and the fullback are back and healthy
-brown brother at running back

and the ksu football team isn't even going to win as many regular season games as they did last year? i don't get it. what am i missing?

You are like a BBS surgeon.  Very calculated.  Very precise.

I thought it was already established that the plane needs to be airborne already, regardless of how next season goes.
