Well we have 5 against wvu, TT and TCU, so we really only need 3.  I'm sticking to 13-5 and conf champs.

I'm on board with this.  :emawkid:   Any road victory is nice, especially since WVU barely hung on Sat to beat TCU.

i believe we need 10-8 in the conf reg season.   it is very similar, but I would rather go 10-8 and lose our P66 game then go 9-9 and go 1-1 in the P66.  There is just something about having the winning record in conf that sticks out more.  That's my belief anyway

TCU had a way better non con this year. Did work in a crappy tourney and wins over miss st and wash st. Every conference has a bottom feeder.

Yeah. Pretty much what I was getting at. I think Texas will be the wildcard in this conference. It will be interesting what they do.

TCU is a special case. Just a lonely black hole of despair.

It may be the hardest place to play in the developed world.

I think its just the Super Mario Bros. coin sound. Not a slot at all(or one that awards credits painfully slow)

There is no way in hell that 13-5 will win a share of the conference championship

That's what I thought last year about 14-4. I didn't think there was any way KU would lose 4 games.

I didn't say anything about 14-4, the conference has had champions with 4 losses twice now. He big 12  has never had a champ with 5 losses.

We know we're going to lose @KU, KU, and @ISU, and we'll probably lose 2-3 more as well. A title isn't realistic, but a decent seed in the tourney is. I'm hoping for 12 wins. Anything more is gravy.

The XII hasn't played an 18 game schedule for very long. This is also the best the league has been from top to bottom in a while. I'm not saying 13-5 would win it, but this year I wouldn't rule it out.

Gotta think they loose more than 2 with the stretch of @OU Jan 11th, KU Jan 13th, @Texas Jan 18th. Thats a tough schedule within a short period of time. No break after that though with K-State Jan 25th @KU Jan 29th, OU Feb 1, @ OSU Feb 3.

That is six games in two really close stretches. If they can get through that with only 2 losses there is almost no way they don't win the conference. But I see them having at least 3 losses in that stretch. And they do still end with @K-State and @ Baylor within 3 days and then OSU only four days later.

I'm going to amend this, I was wrong I think 5 losses MAY win a share of the league. I just want to get that out there now before ISU loses today.

Based on the way WVU played against OSU, I don't think either of our games with them can be counted as sure wins. Move the Bram game into the toss-up column and Morgantown game into the underdog column.
