I looked at the schedule and my guess is the standings after next week will look like this.
KSU 3-2
nu 2-2
isu 2-3 ( I don't think they follow up w/ their second tough road win in a row)
cu 1-3
mu 1-3
ku 1-3
The next week is a little more murky. The game vs
is absolutely HUGE, maybe the biggest game in the north this year. Win that, and I'd say the standings look like this with 2 games remaining for us (3 for nu, cu, and mu):
KSU 4-2
nu 2-3
cu 2-3 (this is the biggest toss-up--I'm picking loss @aTm)
mu 2-3
isu 2-4
ku 1-4
After that, handicapping the division:
KSU: drivers seat. misery and nubb are winnable, but by no means locks. Win and their in.
nu: A loss @
or cu would make our game with them irrelevant in the standings.
cu: They have @isu and @osu. No way they win both, maybe neither. Besides, we have the tiebreaker.
isu: That Lamur blocked XP might be the biggest single play all year. Gives us the tiebreaker, which is what they would need.
ku: By this time, the wheels will have come off, mostly because mangina broke the axles. @ 1-4, they're out of the picture. Ironically, they could be our biggest asset if they beat nubb and drag the corn to the bottom of the standings with them. Would make our game with corn irrelevant quite possibly.
Of course we could just go into norman and win and the
game could clinch the division.
