ESPN says that, but I think the defense will find a way to be even worse than the offense.

our most realistic shot at being "good" this year is if the d-line is "stellar." i think there's about a 20% chance of the d-line being stellar.

Knowing nothing about the other teams' outlooks for 2016 and just going off name, 5-7 or 6-6 depending on how many Briles players Baylor loses by 11/19.  I'll come back to this in August.

I feel like I've heard Baylor's losing a lot after all and might suck.  True?

So, what does that mean?  Third best stats-wise?  Effectiveness?  For the D to be "good," it helps if the O is as well (so they aren't on the field all the time, or put in a bad spot).  Pretty nervous about this predicto.

I don't disagree with that range, but if the offense is better than the defense we won't come close to winning a road game and it'll take a surprise game to beat a B12 team vs someone not named KU. Our offense will not be much better than last year IMO.

Last year, the offense was 49th in points per play. The defense was 98th.

Wow I guess I had no idea that the offense was ranked that high when accounting for amount of plays.

The schedule is good for us this year.  Games against good teams are at home, the teams we had little chance to beat are on the road, and ISU is a roadie with a new coach.

I think it's going to look like 2013 where we get a good 7 wins, have moments where we look better than a 7 win team, but get killed by OU or something that reminds everyone we're just really a mid-level Big 12 team this year.

I wouldn't be surprised to see wins against Tech, OSU, and Texas at home.  Add KU and ISU, and there are your five.

I wouldn't be surprised by beating Tech, OSU, or Texas. Beating all 3 would be a pleasant surprise, though.

If there's one thing I know it's that LHC Bill Snyder will have these kids ready to play.  Whether or not that will translate into wins I don't know.  I guess that depends on whether or not the teams we play are ready, which I suspect they will be.

In my mind, the over under is 5 wins.  If we go over that, we exceed my expectations, and likely (barely) meet most people's bare minimum (bowl game).  If we go under, it's a failure in every single K-State fan's mind, not just mine.

Bend but dont break defense will continue to fail against good teams and let awful teams make every game close. Stopping teams from converting on third downs will remain a mystery to OBs and Hayes, just like their retirement dates.

Offense will be painful to watch, predictable, and coined a 'scrappy' team by media.

6 wins.
