OSU- haven't seen a line but I'd guess they'd be favored by 4-6 points.

Baylor- win

ISU- win

NU- tossup as they have lots of time to fix things.  50/50  I say we'll be a dog though.

Mizzou-I still think they are the class of the north.  L

4-4 overall in big 12. 

4-4 was my origional prediction (i think)
I'll be dissapointed based on what I've seen of the team this year.  Seems we are better than that.

Not happy at all. I can see KSU easily losing to NU and MU.
I will be 100x more pissed off if they lose to nu than the loss to ku.

I think we could easily beat OSU and NU, but we could also drop either game.  I think 5-3.

OSU- Win
Baylor- Win
ISU- Win
NU- Win
Mizzou- Win

There, that's better.  Keep your head up and stay motivated.  Many good teams have gone down this season, so anything is possible.  Even these next 5 games.  :hookem:

I was really worried about CU after ku, glad the defense tightened in the second half.  Offense really was a pleasant suprise yesterday, wish we could have had another TD rather than FG's.  JJ's fumble on the bad snap was killer on 1st down at the 11.

    The very best.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

I can't imagine that they don't get some things fixed in 3 weeks.  Cally can't be THAT bad can he?

I think it's a matter of NU's players giving up more than the coaching staff's ability to fix it. Although the coaching staff's ability is also under question.

I think 4-4 is about the worst we can do at this point so yeah I'll be pissed if we do that.  Baylor and ISU seems like as close to locks as you can find.  The other 3 are all winnable I've got to think we find a way to win at least one of those.  Especially the NU game they are playing like crap I'm not sure they're going to be able to get stuff turned around.  It's not like it just started last week it's been going on for most of the year and it only seems to be getting worse.  

This week at OSU I think is a real big chance for us if we can find a way to win then we'll be set up to make a run at winning the North.  Both ku and MU have tough games this coming week and both could lose.

You do realize that this is the same Callahan that took a team from the Super Bowl one year to one of Oakland's all time worst records in the history of the franchise over the course of a single season, don't you?!?!?

NU's oline scares me the most.  I agree though, outside of mizzou, OSU is probably the toughest game the rest of the way.  If we can win against them I think we'd have a real chance at beating NU, and if we can defend OSU I would think that we stand more than a chance at defending Mizzou.

4-4 would be good.  Sneaking out one more for 5-3 would solidify the ....uh... non believer types.

I'd love to see a 5-3 record.  And I think it's possible.

Yeah, hopefully we learned something from last year.  Ou showed though that if you are physical with their wideouts, and get good pressure they get out of rhythm.  Although I don't think our dline is near what ou's is.  However OSU's offense is as close to the talent level of mizzou's as we will see.  It will be a decent measuring stick.  We have to find a way to be more physical on the Dline, Hopefully Abana is learning quickly.

They might but they don't have a downhill run game so we might match up to them better then we have some of these other teams.  They seem to always blow a game on the road they shouldn't.  Last year it was Iowa State could be us this year.  Who knows they might melt down again this year I think Texas Tech is going to whip them this coming week.

I don't even know what we can change that would matter.  

Maclin, Coffman, Rucker...  :ohno:

I don't know if I would say "happy", but I wouldn't be pissed.  I figured 7-5 (4-4) going into the year, so that would just be meeting expectations.  If they go 4-4 then lose to Fresno I'd probably be mildly dissapointed...8 wins, and I'll be mildly pleased.

It's all about preseason expectations.  I predicted 7-5 and 4-4, saying it would be a solid year, with 8-4 being a great year, and anything above being an absolutely amazing year.

So yeah, I'd be happy about 4-4.  However, after seeing how well we've played so far this year and how crappy some of our opponents are, it wouldn't surprise me if we did much better.

4-4 will be acceptable. Just get into and win the  bowl game and its improvement over last year because of our much tougher schedule.  Currently #19 per Sagarin.

"OSU- haven't seen a line but I'd guess they'd be favored by 4-6 points."

Good call.  Oklahoma State opened a 4 point favorite.  Hope that line goes up so I can put a good sized ML bet on it.

ku is only a 2.5 point favorite at Colorado.  I would expect some early line movement there.
