What was Cowherd's reasoning? QB play. He basically said the SEC and Pac-12 has the best QBs this year so they have the best teams. Nevermind that Matt Barkley, considered the best QB, lost to a Stanford team and another QB who has zero experience.
It is because college games are won on the LOS. The media will never, ever understand this about college football. It is not the NFL.

"Is this the worst undefeated team of all time?"
"Yes, easily. I bet if we replayed this season they would have lost at least 4 games."
"Couldn't agree more. And on that same note, is Collin Klein the worst player to ever win the Heisman?"
"I'd have to say yes. I mean, have you seen his throwing motion? Just awful. And all that talk about toughness? Well, toughness can only get you so far."

Coming into the 2012 college football season, the Kansas State Wildcats were not receiving very much respect.
It wasn't that easy to figure out why, either. The Wildcats were returning 18 starters (including special teams) from a team that finished second in the Big 12, won 10 games and earned a berth in the Cotton Bowl in 2011, and yet they were slotted sixth in the Big 12's preseason poll by a panel of media covering the conference. The surprise that last year's team was seemed to carry into 2012. The pollsters essentially said, "OK, now prove it."
LHC Bill Snyder's group may not have received much respect, but that changed to some extent after Saturday's 24-19 upset against the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman; the win vaulted the Wildcats to No. 7 in this week's AP Top 25, which is the highest ranking of any Big 12 team.
Even with that ranking, there may still be doubters who lean toward their preseason assessment of Kansas State and believe that this program, which had finished better than .500 only two times in the six seasons preceding last year, is still a ways away from vying for conference supremacy. There are some who might say Saturday says more about what Oklahoma is not than what Kansas State is.
That might seem reasonable at first glance, but after taking a closer look at the game tape and metrics, it is clear that these Wildcats are not just a flash in the pan -- they are a legit top-10 team and true contenders for the Big 12 title.
The victory against the Sooners wasn't just a case of Oklahoma giving the game away with inopportune turnovers -- the Wildcats actually outplayed OU almost across the board.
The Wildcats' rushing attack was graded out as having good blocking (very roughly defined as when the offense doesn't allow the defense to do anything to disrupt a rush attempt) on 30 out of 40 rushing plays, which is an amazing 75 percent good blocking rate (GBR). Even the best college teams normally post GBR totals in the 50-55 percent range, and those marks include games against creampuff opponents. That Kansas State did this against one of the strongest run defenses in the conference speaks volumes to its collective run-blocking ability.
What makes the performance even more impressive is that it allowed Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein to post 4.6 yards per carry (YPC) on 17 rushes. That may not sound like a high-powered achievement until realizing that Klein's 3.6 yards per carry total last year was the lowest among FBS ball carriers with at least 200 rush attempts. Klein obviously has more rushing talent than his 2011 YPC total suggests, and sneaks diminish the average, but these numbers just add more heft to the idea that the Kansas State run-blockers really asserted themselves against OU.
Another notable aspect of the Wildcats' offensive showing against the Sooners is that Klein averaged 7.1 yards per pass attempt (YPA) despite gaining only 47 yards on eight vertical passes (defined as passes thrown 11 or more yards downfield). That equates to a 5.9 vertical YPA, which is well below the double-digit YPA bar that serves as the rule of thumb of acceptable productivity at this depth level.
The low vertical YPA shows Oklahoma was able to take away downfield throws but Kansas State just worked around it. Klein completed 11 of 12 short passes for 102 yards (short passes being defined as aerials thrown 10 or fewer yards downfield). That equals 8.5 yards on average on every dink and dunk throw, or nearly a first down on every pass.
Klein also did a fine job of protecting the offense by not making any bad decisions (i.e. mental errors that lead to turnover opportunities). There was only one pass Klein threw that the Sooners had any sort of chance of picking off, and that was due to a very good play by Oklahoma defensive back Javon Harris. The Wildcats also gave up zero sacks, had zero fumbles and had to throw only one pass away, so their negative plays on offense were almost nil. They dominated in the category that's never really been given a better name than "the little things."
Now contrast each of these items to Oklahoma's totals in the same categories.
The Sooners' offensive blockers gave their ball carriers good blocking 62.5 percent of the time, which is a good mark but not quite as good as the Kansas State total.
Oklahoma did best the Wildcats in vertical YPA (138 yards on 13 passes, or 10.6 vertical YPA) but lost some of that lead due to lower productivity on short passes (6.6 YPA on 24 passes). The Sooners also saw their overall YPA fall even further due to three throwaway passes and three miscommunications between quarterback and wide receiver that prevented completions. All totaled, Kansas State ended the game with a YPA lead of 7.1 to Oklahoma's 6.9.
- Enlarge
Matthew Emmons/US Presswire
Sooners QB Landry Jones made some bad decisions vs. K-State.
Sooners quarterback Landry Jones also cost his team with a bad decision that nearly led to an interception, which went along with another near interception that occurred on one of the miscommunication throws. To put it another way, Oklahoma may have lost the turnover battle 3-0, but if Kansas State had done a better job of catching all of the passes Jones threw to it, the Wildcats easily could have won the turnover battle by five and kept the game from being as close as it was.
This win was not a fluke, and since it occurred in Norman, a site where Stoops' Oklahoma squads were 14-0 against ranked opponents prior to this game, it shows the Wildcats are capable of beating any team in this conference at any venue. That ability will be needed when Kansas State takes road trips to play the West Virginia Mountaineers (Oct. 20), TCU Horned Frogs (Nov. 10) and Baylor Bears (Nov. 17) later this year.
None of those matchups will be easy since all of those teams are currently ranked in the Top 25, but given how those programs have played of late (West Virginia struggled to beat Maryland, TCU barely got past Kansas and Baylor was almost upset by Louisiana-Monroe), there is a good chance that the Wildcats could come away with wins in all three contests if they play at the level they reached against Oklahoma.
Given the fact the Big 12 is not likely to see a team go unbeaten in conference play, the Wildcats could even lose one of those games and still walk away as the conference champion if they were to win a home contest against the Texas Longhorns in the last game of the year.
In other words, Kansas State is a lot closer to winning its second Big 12 championship than the preseason pundits thought.

6. LSU 6-1:shakesfist:
Remaining Schedule: at Texas A&M, Alabama, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, at Arkansas
The Tigers will be on the doorstep if they win out with victories over Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Alabama and an SEC championship to point to. Oregon or Notre Dame would have to lose, and it would be a flip of the coin over whether or not a one-loss Tiger team would get in over an unbeaten Kansas State. Because there’s no Big 12 title game, 12-1 might trump 12-0. If it comes down to several teams with one blemish, LSU would go to the top of the charts.

Kansas State's goals are simple. The Wildcats need to remain undefeated, and they should play in this year's national championship.
"There is no situation in which a one-loss team would finish ahead of them," BCS expert Jerry Palm told Lenn Robbins of the New York Post. "An unbeaten team from the nation's second-best conference would be treated as such."
It isn't exactly an easy road to manage for Kansas State. The Wildcats travel to Morgantown to face a wounded West Virginia squad Saturday. Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas all remain on the schedule -- although three of those games are at home.
While LHC Bill Snyder and his team are contemplating their future, there will be some scoreboard watching in Manhattan.
Florida is the primary team to leapfrog after the Gators debuted No. 2 in the BCS standings. Florida still has to navigate a rugged SEC schedule. South Carolina and Georgia are the Gators' next two opponents. Florida State closes the season. And the SEC title game -- potentially against Alabama -- will make it difficult for the Gators to remain undefeated.
Oregon is next in line. The Ducks' still have three ranked teams on the schedule. USC, Stanford and Oregon State are all in the way of their perfect season. Plus Oregon may have to play USC twice or an improved Arizona State squad in the Pac-12 championship game.
And all of this is working under the assumption No. 1 Alabama makes it way through the rest of the season unscathed.
Kansas State has a legitimate shot at playing in the national championship game, if it takes care of business.

That Stephen a Smith quote is just comically bad.
People on this site frequently misuse the verb trolling. This is an example where it would be appropriate. He and Skip get paid to troll everyone & everything. They don't need to have informed opinions, they just need to be as loud and as outlandish as possible. Literally one or both of them piss off a group of people everyday. Today was our day. There is no doubt that he hasn't watched K-State at all and completely forgot about them when the topic was over. LOL at thinking Stephen A. Smith watches anything but the NFL & NBA.

I wish I would turn off the TV every time Stephen A. or Skip open their pie holes... but for some reason every time I think "wow, they're talking louder than everyone else, I should listen to them!"
And then after they're done talking... which is after the 5th time they've interrupted somebody that was making an informed and intelligent point... I swear to never listen to either again. :facepalm:
Heck... today somebody had to remind them what the original question they were answering was because they were so far off topic. :curse:

Overall: 5-1
Conference: 3-1 Back in the national title picture? The Sooners tuned up for Notre Dame by slapping Kansas 52-7. Don't know quite how to evaluate that. Dangerously close to being a bye.

really long & boring, so long I'm only pasting half of it.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Kansas State trailed Oregon by three-thousandths of a point in the initial BCS standings, so the Wildcats will -- some wacky, rogue computer notwithstanding -- pull past the Ducks when the second installment is released Sunday evening.
That's meaningful in some capacity to every member of K-State's team after a 55-14 road whipping of 13th-ranked West Virginia moved the Wildcats to 7-0 and 4-0 in the Big 12. But it means more to senior receiver Chris Harper. He transferred from Oregon to Kansas State to be closer to his home in Wichita, Kan.
"Yeah," a smiling Harper said late Saturday night. "It means a little something extra."
Harper said he called Ducks back Kenjon Barner (more on him later) on Friday. The former teammates did some friendly chirping, and they looked forward to the possibility of their teams meeting in the BCS title game.
"You know, that just might happen," Harper said, stepping out of every player's one-game-at-a-time trance to consider it.
Oregon-Kansas State isn't the likeliest of outcomes, not with Alabama and Florida still up top and looking strong Saturday. But it isn't completely implausible, either.
Harper said he "definitely" considers Kansas State to be every bit the team as those around the Wildcats in the BCS standings.
"We just don't get the love that they get," he said. "We beat Oklahoma, and everyone's still talking them up. We're like, 'Can we get any kind of love?'
"I hope they [the national audience, media] were watching today. I think we proved something."
West Virginia was likewise destroyed last week at Texas Tech. But that was Lubbock. It couldn't happen again, right? Not at rowdy Milan Puskar.
If anything, Saturday's result was more thorough -- because K-State did it on the road, where it has won an impressive nine of its past 10 games.
Wildcats quarterback Collin Klein elevated his name to the top of the Heisman pile, scoring seven total touchdowns on seven consecutive possessions. The three passing and four rushing scores came in a span of 31 minutes, from 3:33 left in the first quarter until there was 2:25 remaining in the third.
Klein was in complete control, which coach LHC Bill Snyder said he has come to expect of his quarterback regardless of the final statistics. But those were there, too. He had been close, but Saturday was Klein's first career 300-yard passing game.
Klein had two incompletions. His counterpart, Geno Smith, had two interceptions.
"I started calling him 'John' during the game," Harper said. "He was rocking that No. 7 like Elway."
The score was 52-7 at the end of that touchdown binge. Country roads were carrying Mountaineers fans home while the K-State contingent celebrated, closing the night with chants of Snyder's name and smacking hands with the Wildcats in a processional as the team headed to the locker room.
"All three phases contributed to the momentum," said Klein, who was sheepish when facing Heisman questions and apologized that his hand was "messed up" when he shook hands with reporters.
"But I'm all right," the humble star insisted.
So is his team.
Alabama still looks like the clear-cut No. 1 in the country, but Kansas State made its case for No. 2.
Then again, so did Florida earlier in the day Saturday. And Oregon was sharp Thursday night in breezing past Arizona State.
(I can't in good faith include the living-on-a-prayer unbeatens, Notre Dame and Oregon State. But more on the Irish in a bit; it'll get its chance this week.)
So, who's No. 2?
Oregon has the benefit of starting closest to the top, while K-State and Florida have had to climb the polls. So that helps with the human voters, the coaches and the Harris participants. It's also the case for abandoning the preseason poll or delaying the first vote until October to destroy preconceived notions.
Florida likely has the best résumé, which is why the computers are in love with the Gators. Saturday's win, along with victories at Texas A&M, at Tennessee and against LSU, are as good as it gets at this point.
But K-State's road wins in Norman and Morgantown are strong, too. Really strong. A team that skated by in close games, winning eight of 10 in 2011 by 4.5 points a game, showed Saturday it can put the pedal down when it needs to.
All this should settle over the next six weeks, with one of the teams (or someone else) emerging, but we're paid to wonder about the chances that it doesn't. Can we begin the playoff now, please?
Some things to consider for these three teams:
• Is it that inconceivable that Florida could win the rest of its regular-season games, lose to Alabama in the SEC title game -- and still be the second-best team nationally behind the Tide, in a different-but-similar replay of Bama and LSU in 2011? It would at least be a team to play for the conference title, but it would again not be a conference champ.
That would be a pure rematch. And the country, outside the South, would melt down.
• A lot has been made of the fact that Oregon and USC would potentially play twice this season. But let's say Oregon wins the first, giving USC two losses. The second game, the Pac-12 title game, would be at Autzen.
The Ducks wouldn't get as much credit for the second win in terms of the BCS as they would for the first, since the Trojans would be knocked down in the polls and computers. That could be important if it really gets down to comparing schedules and résumés.
Oregon State continuing to win could wind up being a big boost for the Ducks.
• A few weeks ago, we were saying that Florida State needed Florida to continue winning to bolster the Seminoles' schedule and national championship hopes. It's sort of the opposite now.
The Gators, because of their previous big wins, don't need the aid as much as an ACC team -- but they could if it does wind up being a comparison of one-loss teams in the end.
FSU scuffling around against Miami didn't really inspire confidence that the Noles can get to the UF game unscathed.
• K-State, the only undefeated team left in the Big 12, is firmly in the driver's seat in the conference. It already has a tiebreak with one of the two one-loss teams, Oklahoma, and it could nail down the other this week when Texas Tech goes to Manhattan.
With a win against the Raiders, the Wildcats would have to lose at least twice against Oklahoma State, TCU, Baylor and Texas to hand over the title. Stranger things have happened, but it's hard to fathom with how Snyder coaches his team. K-State appears here to stay.
"Winning a national championship is the goal," Harper said. "We're taking baby steps, but that's the goal."

Quote
Smith, who prefers to watch games from courtside so he can chat up players before and after, usually goes on-air without index cards and seems to have done his prep in the cab ride over. Bayless, on the other hand, starts the previous evening and brings a stack of notes to the set. "The debate is often won the night before, beginning with the 6 p.m. SportsCenter," he says. "After that I watch the games and comb box scores for stats, and get up at 5 a.m. and watch a loop of the 2 a.m. SportsCenter." Childless, divorced, and void of outside interests, Bayless' one passion is protecting his record in debates. "I've never lost an argument and don't intend to start, though I'd be happy if our audience thinks Stephen won a day's debate."

I don't think wins against UM will pan out to be anything to brag about. They have beat nobody good and looked awful against the only 2 real teams they faced. Of course, the team UM will be meeting in the big 10 champ., Wisconsin, has also beat nobody. However, Wisky's 2 losses were by 3 points each on the road to solid oregon state and nebraska teams, and they have been playing much better football since. Meanwhile, UM is squeaking out 2 point victories at home against the Spartans and their Pop Warner Tiny Mites offense. I'd be surprised if they make it out of Lincoln without a 3rd loss
All in all, I don't think there's a lot to worry about. good teams will win, bad teams will lose. enjoy the ride :cheers:

There's an Insider article on ESPN.com about the top 5's chances to go undefeated. I'm sure K-State's is 100%, but would like a cut and paste confirmation.
http://insider.espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8540772/odds-alabama-florida-k-state-oregon-notre-dame-finish-regular-season-unbeaten-ncf (http://insider.espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8540772/odds-alabama-florida-k-state-oregon-notre-dame-finish-regular-season-unbeaten-ncf)
The BMOC article above has this in it:
Quote
ESPN's College GameDay research genius Chris Fallica has put together a formula that calculates a team's chances of finishing the regular season undefeated. Please don't ask me how to explain it. I'm still learning long division.
Anyway, the Fallica Theorem, as it relates to the BCS top 10:
Alabama -- a 54.2 percent chance of entering the bowl season undefeated.
Oregon -- 22.3 percent.
Kansas State -- 21.9 percent.
Notre Dame -- 17.7 percent (Fallica says if ND beats Oklahoma on Saturday, the percentage instantly improves to about 53 percent).
Florida -- 9.6 percent.
Oregon State -- 2.8 percent.
I'm sure the article expands on those numbers

3. Kansas State Wildcats
Most similar stat profile: 2008 Texas (12-1 vs. FBS)
Likelihood of remaining undefeated in regular season: 38.1 percent
No other team has a more impressive résumé to date than Kansas State, according to our drive-based FEI ratings. LHC Bill Snyder's team has been ruthlessly efficient, especially considering the competition. The Wildcats rank No. 1 in offensive points per drive (3.9) and No. 2 -- behind only Alabama -- in net points per drive (2.6). According to our data, Kansas State has played the 15th-toughest schedule to date and Alabama has played the 100th-toughest schedule to date.
Kansas State compares very well with the 2008 Texas Longhorns, one of the best teams in recent years that did not get to play for a national championship. Texas was also prolific (No. 1 in offensive efficiency, No. 1 in available yards earned), but it was denied a BCS championship opportunity due to a last-second loss to Texas Tech late in the season.
The Red Raiders may pose the biggest threat to Kansas State's undefeated season this weekend, too, though they'll need to find success with big plays to do so. This season, 24.2 percent of Texas Tech's offensive drives have averaged more than 10 yards per play, ranking sixth nationally. But Kansas State has stifled big-play threats from other elite offenses, most notably last weekend against West Virginia.

No they're not. Joe wouldn't have this job if it wasn't for his last name. McCarver is tolerable, although he is approaching the dementia that has afflicted Corso, Holtz and Lundquist.

ND got a fluke hold that wiped a td off the board, same as our belldozer fumble recovery.
ND -OU was tied @ 13 13 with like 8 mins left before they got a bullshit int that was not possesed thru the contact with the ground.
Those games were practically the same. We shut them down on d, ND shut them down on d. We horse whipped them on the running game, they horse whipped them in the run game.
Whats more fluky, our senior qb not having any turovers, or their freshman who averages 2 turnovers a game not having any?

It was clearly a hold. The only issue was the late call.
Notre Dame was clearly the better team.

Oh dont give me that crap.
You can call hold on any play. Also my overall pount was ou had a td taken off the board by an ou mistake. The same in both games.
Also, we were the clearly better team.
Finally are you going to tell me our more impressive win over miami doesnt count as much cause we were home and the domers had to play at a neutral site.

Sorry switchin from phone to keyboard cause obviously I am being misunderstood.
My point is we are the same as ND. Our win over OU is no less, nor no more impressive then ND's win over OU.
It drives me effin nuts that the media tries to tear down what we have done, yet build up Notre Dame as the more impressiveteam in their win over OU. You can go through both games and point out "flukes" that when all tallied are practically the same for both our teams.
I pointed out Miami only to say that if we only take scores into account, one could argue we are better then ND when comparing the Miami scores. It will probably be the media's take away from both our games that ND was at a "neutral" site to excuse their lower, less "impressive" score and to promote that it was tougher. Our win over Miami was no more, nor no less impressive the ND's win over Miami. It was the same.
So overall we already have the media telling us how much better and more impressive ND was against Ou then we were, yet when the Miami score is eventually brought up, the location will be used as a negative against us to further promote ND being the better team when in every measurable way in the two games we were almost mirrors of each other.
Using common opponets WE ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.

Arguing about ND is pointless. There's no way they will pass us unless we lose. Oregon is the only worry right now because most media and coaches (..assist. coaches) who do 2/3 the BCS look at box scores/highlights because they don't have the time to watch everyone and want to go home. Oregon has been a power more recently than we have so they get the benefit of a doubt by these voters. It helped that USC/Oregon St. lost and that might be enough, but voters will keep them ahead of us regardless unless they drop a game. If we both go undefeated the rest of the season, it's going to come down to the smallest margin the BCS has probably seen.

ND is not the point of the argument. The perception in the media is the point. Like you said, we will not be given the benefit of the doubt. Quite the contrary, we will be looked at with scrutiny. Unfourtanately, some of the scrutiny has turned into the media makeing false arguments against us (Like the ND/OU vs KSU/OU comparo) to support their overall goal of having a more established power in the championship.
Im all for the scrutiny, I just hate false arguments that promote team a over team b and thats what we have with ND/OU over KSU/OU. I wish they would just be more honest and promote the argument that Pollack brought up at the end. KSU matches up the best with Bama, but they (the media) don't trust us to play well against Bama because we dont have the same caliber athletes.
Unfourtanatly for us, teams have to build up capital over a number of years to be given the benifit of the doubt. Imagine if we had won the game against Arkansas and possibly started this season in the top 5, even the top 10. Every game, every year matters.

This we can agree on! I have loved this season. I have loved talking about this season, and the best part of this season is that this "stupid pointless crap" IS important. Its nice that we arent arguing over how terrible cosh is or whatever other travesty we have had to suffer, and get to talk about things other legit national title contending teams get to worry about.

2. Kansas State 8-0 BCS Score: 0.9400
Sorry, Kansas State, but you're just renting your spot in the penthouse. Ranked third in the human polls, the Wildcats aren't going to be able to stay at No. 2 overall unless they can get into the top two according to the people. The computers are happy, ranking KSU co-No. 1 along with Notre Dame, but that's going to change with a weaker finishing kick than the Irish, USC and Alabama.

3. Notre Dame 8-0 BCS Score: 0.9147
Notre Dame is in the exact same boat as Kansas State. The computers are in love - putting the Irish No. 1 overall in a tie with the Wildcats - but the humans are in like. No. 4 in both human polls, there's no chance of ever getting into the top two without two of the top four teams losing. Style points are going to count from here on, so just getting by Pitt, Boston College and Wake Forest won't be enough.

4. Oregon 8-0 BCS Score: 0.9136
Oregon is just fine. The No. 2 spot in the Harris and Coaches' polls will never change as long as the wins keep coming, and the computers are going to start to come around. Ranked fifth overall by the wires and circuits, but only a fraction behind the Irish in the overall rankings, the Ducks will have no problems getting into the top two if they go 13-0.

not interested in your guess dork. like, using the massey ratings with the 4 teams combined what is the statistical probibility. that's what I'm looking for

Chings, what is the statistical chance of all 4 winning out. Has to be low, doesn't it?
Statistics? Look at the schedule! Notre Dame has one game left on their schedule USC. I give the domers the edge, but you never know in this crazy game.
Oregon has the tougher test with Oregon State, Stanford and USC x 2
Grow a pair and throw the stats out the window!

1.KSU
2.ND
3.LSU
4.Tide
5.Ducks
The best thing about this whole mess is we've found a fanbase more tuckish than KSTATEO, and that's Oregon.

Am going to LOL if Roll Tide loses by a point or something, and the Ducks win by a point or something, and the top 5 turns into this:

The media (the rest of the country) doesnt trust us to match up athlete for athlete against Bama. They are manufacturing reasons to knock us down a peg, because even though we have proven to be the second best team in the country on the field this year, they dont think we truly are because we dont win recruiting battles, we dont win bowl games, and for a couple of years prior we sucked.
They cant say those are the specific reasons because the system is supposed to pit best team of the year A vs second best team of the year B, but the reality is we dont have a track record with these kind of thing. Kind of a chicken and egg thing, but what are you going to do? it boils down to national titles not being single year events, but taking multiple years of positive things for a team to build enough capital to compete on the field and in the hearts.
What we can do is go out and beat the living daylights out of the teams on our schedule and hope Oregon, ND or Bama screw up somewhere.
And to all those who don't care what the media thinks; they vote for and influence two-thirds of the polls. They will get the matchup they want, not what we deserve.

Quote2. Kansas State 8-0 BCS Score: 0.9400
Sorry, Kansas State, but you're just renting your spot in the penthouse. Ranked third in the human polls, the Wildcats aren't going to be able to stay at No. 2 overall unless they can get into the top two according to the people. The computers are happy, ranking KSU co-No. 1 along with Notre Dame, but that's going to change with a weaker finishing kick than the Irish, USC and Alabama.
Predicted Wins: Oklahoma State, at TCU, at Baylor, Texas
Predicted Losses: None
Predicted Final Record: 12-0
Predicted Bowl: Fiesta
Loss Alert: Oklahoma State, at TCU, Texas
3. Notre Dame 8-0 BCS Score: 0.9147
Notre Dame is in the exact same boat as Kansas State. The computers are in love - putting the Irish No. 1 overall in a tie with the Wildcats - but the humans are in like. No. 4 in both human polls, there's no chance of ever getting into the top two without two of the top four teams losing. Style points are going to count from here on, so just getting by Pitt, Boston College and Wake Forest won't be enough.
Predicted Wins: Pitt, at Boston College, Wake Forest, at USC
Predicted Losses: None
Predicted Final Record: 12-0
Predicted Bowl: Fiesta
Loss Alert: at USC
4. Oregon 8-0 BCS Score: 0.9136
Oregon is just fine. The No. 2 spot in the Harris and Coaches' polls will never change as long as the wins keep coming, and the computers are going to start to come around. Ranked fifth overall by the wires and circuits, but only a fraction behind the Irish in the overall rankings, the Ducks will have no problems getting into the top two if they go 13-0.
Predicted Wins: at USC, at California, Stanford, at Oregon State, Pac-12 championship
Predicted Losses: None
Predicted Final Record: 13-0
Predicted Bowl: BCS championship
Loss Alert: at USC, Stanford, at Oregon State

Pete Fiutak, no one reads the site, so he flies under the radar, but the guy has been driving the K-State hate wagon for years. After we beat OU he still had them above us with his rankings. In 2003 he had Darren Sproles 8th in his final top 10 player race

Both have shifted on Oregon the last two weeks as the wins kept coming..and Oregon keeps slipping. USC drops, Oregon State drops, and Notre Dame will beat USC.
Pete Futiak is wrong on this one. I bet his breath is awful.

I've never seen the media blow a team as hard as Alabama this season. They really haven't done anything this year so it's all based on their win over a good but not great LSU team last season. Based on that one game the media and Vegas are treating them like they are the 85 Bears its disgusting.

With just five weeks left in the college football regular season, it’s starting to look more and more likely that there could ultimately be complete chaos surrounding the BCS national championship game.
The four top-ranked teams in the country—Alabama, Kansas State, Notre Dame and Oregon—all remain undefeated, and all have a solid shot of finishing the season without a blemish on their records.
Unfortunately, the newly introduced four-team playoff won’t take effect until 2014, so we could be looking at a situation where at least one, and possibly two deserving teams could be left out of college football’s marquee game.
There’s certainly no guarantee that all four teams will finish the season undefeated. Remember, last year at this point in the season, there was the exact same situation, as LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma State and Stanford were all undefeated after nine weeks. In the end, only one team (LSU) finished the regular season without a loss. However, this is college football, and fans and analysts love to speculate about every possible BCS scenario that could play out.
If the BCS chaos theory actually comes to fruition and all four teams do finish the season undefeated, the one team that would most likely get “screwed” is Kansas State.
Besides Alabama, the Wildcats have arguably been the most impressive team in the country so far this season. Even though the team put together an incredible breakout 10-win campaign in 2011, LHC Bill Snyder’s squad started the 2012 season ranked outside of the top 20 in both preseason polls. But once again, Kansas State has outperformed their modest preseason expectations, and this year, the Wildcats have proven to the college football world that they are indeed a legitimate national title contender.
Their resume includes victories over three ranked opponents: Oklahoma, West Virginia and most recently Texas Tech, and two of those wins came on the road in hostile environments.
Over the last few weeks, QB Collin Klein has ascended to the top of everyone’s Heisman favorite lists, as the dual-threat quarterback continues to dazzle onlookers with his brilliant play. Klein has completed nearly 71 percent of his passes for 1,630 yards and thrown 12 touchdowns compared to just two interceptions. He’s also added 634 yards and 16 rushing scores with his legs.
Klein’s 175 passer rating, which currently ranks second in the nation behind Alabama’s AJ McCarron, has shut all of his critics up who labeled him simply a running quarterback.
The beauty of this Kansas State team, however, is that there are so many more valuable pieces than just Klein, who has soaked up pretty much all of the national attention.
RB John Hubert, Klein’s backfield partner, is one of the most underrated rushers in college football this season. Hubert, who bears a strong resemblance to former Wildcats star Darren Sproles, has already racked up 727 yards on the ground and scored 10 touchdowns. The 5’7’’, 191-pound junior may not be the most physically intimidating back in the country, but just ask any defender who’s faced him this year, and they’ll all tell you that he packs a ton of power and explosiveness into his small but strong body.
The backfield tandem of Klein and Hubert aren’t the only dangerous weapons that Kansas State has, however. The team’s receiving trio of Tyler Lockett, Chris Harper and Tramaine Thompson are all athletic playmakers who can stretch the field and keep defenses honest.
On the other side of the ball, middle linebacker Arthur Brown is the heart and soul of a defense that currently ranks 13th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 17 points per game. Brown, who has racked up 60 tackles, including 35 solo stops and six tackles for loss, has been playing at an All-American level this season. He’ll likely earn serious consideration for some of college football’s most prestigious defensive awards at the end of the season.
Brown’s joined by plenty of difference-makers on the Wildcats defense, such as cornerback Nigel Malone, safety Ty Zimmerman and DE Meshak Williams, who will all be vying for All-Big 12 honors this year.
On paper, there may not be a team that’s better equipped to knock off the defending national champion Tide than Kansas State. The problem is that the Wildcats are simply a tough sell to most of America. It may not be right, but it’s the truth.
LHC Bill Snyder’s team doesn’t play a flashy brand of football, and the team isn’t loaded with a ton of well-known future high NFL draft picks. Instead, the Wildcats are viewed as a tough, gritty, wear-’em-down type of team that wins by simply being more sound and more efficient than their opponent.
That’s why the majority of college football fans would likely rather see an undefeated Notre Dame team or an undefeated Oregon team square off with Alabama in the BCS championship game.
For all of the criticism Notre Dame has received over the last decade, the fact is that the Irish are still one of the strongest and most prestigious brand names in college football. There’s a reason NBC shells out big bucks to broadcast their games, and there’s a reason that they receive a ton of publicity and coverage each and every season.
Oregon, on the other hand, has become one of the most popular teams in the country since Chip Kelly took over in Eugene back in 2009. Kelly has guided the Ducks to three straight Pac-12 championships and three straight BCS bowl games, including an appearance in the national championship game in just his second year.
Kelly has turned the Oregon offense into an exciting, high-octane attack, which has helped turn the Ducks’ talented trio of QB Marcus Mariota and running backs Kenjon Barner and De’Anthony Thomas into household names.
By the end of the season, if all four top-ranked teams are indeed undefeated, you could certainly make the case that Kansas State will have the most impressive resume of the three challengers. From top to bottom, the Big 12 was the strongest conference in college football last season, and it’s arguably even tougher this year with the addition of TCU and West Virginia.
The problem is that the Wildcats simply don’t have the glitz and glamour attached to their name that Notre Dame and Oregon have right now. Even if it’s not fair, voters and fans would most likely favor Notre Dame or Oregon, even if their overall resumes aren’t as strong.
This season, Kansas State is undoubtedly putting together the kind of campaign that’s worthy of a BCS national championship game berth. But in order to actually get it, the Wildcats are going to need their more popular undefeated counterparts, Notre Dame and Oregon, to lose at least one game between now and Dec. 1.

JFC I'm so tired of every idiot with a blog equating the BCS to a popularity contest. Coaches are not going to vote ND ahead of KState at the end of the season simply because ND has more fans and they aren't going all vote Oregon number two in some kind of weird conspiracy to put them in because they are "sexier". It's going to come down to SOS in the computers and which teams performs better in their final games. That's all. Period. No amount of fans or publicity is going to change that. Effing respects.
Oklahoma State had a much stronger schedule than Alabama last year and they blew out a ranked Oklahoma team in the final week of the season while Bama was sitting at home, why weren't they in the title game? crap like that is why some people might not trust the polls when it comes down to us vs a more prestigious/popular team.

Because they lost to ISU while Alabama lost a close game to the only undefeated team in the country. This was not a surprise. And I doubt that if Alabama's schedule was rated lower in the computers it was by much.

Using the quality loss argument, 2007 KU should have been in the title game over both Ohio State and LSU. Yeah, their schedule sucked, they lost to the best team they played, they didn't even win their division...but they were miles ahead of the other two teams when it came to quality loss. That's almost a parallel of 2011, except KU isn't a football blueblood and Alabama is, which is why people came up with ridiculous arguments like quality loss. Voters will come up with some other inane crap to screw KSU if there is more than one other undefeated team because we aren't as desirable as Alabama, Notre Dame or Oregon.

They had a bit called "Cashing In" that was mostly about Victor Cruz requesting a new contract. They opened it up though talking about how Snyder's salary was significantly lower than every coach currently in the Top 10 other than Dabo Swinney. They also mentioned "to add insult to injury" that conference punching bag, Charlie Weis, has a larger salary.Maybe Luke'd but did anybody see the ridiculous bit on Sportscenter that ESPN did on Snyder's salary?
No, but with such a great recap, why would I need to?
I asked because I couldn't decide if it was relevant to the thread. I mean, at least they're talking about us but it seemed weird. :dunno:
thanks

OSU actually leapfrogged Stanford in the coach's poll for no explicable reason. And the computers had OSU and Bama about as close as it could possibly get without a tie - .930 to .950.

There's no conspiracy this year, and there wasn't last year. If we're out, we didn't get "mumped", people just don't think we're as good as Oregon, plain and simple.

The butt hurt from Joe-sephus is palpable. Hilarious!
Currently, there are large numbers of college football players, who, academically, do not belong in college. For example: about 30 percent of Kansas State’s roster is made up of JUCO transfers. When the NCAA’s new academic requirements for incoming freshmen go in effect in 2016, schools of K-State’s ilk will either (a) not be able to field football teams anymore or (b) be so uncompetitive that a move to a lower division might be inevitable.

That's about half the state. The other half are Kansas State fans, and whether you call it entitlement or security, they don't have it. What they feel is an unwavering certainty that Kansas State is about to get screwed at all times. That its achievements will be overlooked.

sports radio dumbasses down here keep going on and on about how osu has a chance to win now that tre is injured.
:dubious:
How many times did they say he's had 50+ tackles this season? I swear these radio guys don't even pay attention to games and just read ESPN blog blurbs.

:facepalm: I would've liked it had he known klein was originally a qb and that it wasn't Bill's idea to put him there.
he also screwed up a bunch of the old timey snyder stories, said Tuggle was our best defender and played DE, and had a couple grammar/spelling mistakes. I enjoyed it though.
Also wrong about recruits flying into MCI. We wore our jets out in the recruiting biz until they banned it.
I don't blame Tully for being butthurt about KSU at all. Just about everyone is right now.

When Tre got hurt, it was his 5th snap of the game...which was late in the 3rd quarter. and how much did he play vs. ISU and WVU and TTech?

The reason that passage is valid is because, in his own begrudging way, he did atleast acknowledge that credit was due but not given. I think we're used to our life sentence in federal pound me in the ass prison when it comes to respect, perception, etc. but it's nice to hear someone finally acknowledge that the cats actually have...ya know...earned something.I like tully
I liked the paragraph below a lot.QuoteThat's about half the state. The other half are Kansas State fans, and whether you call it entitlement or security, they don't have it. What they feel is an unwavering certainty that Kansas State is about to get screwed at all times. That its achievements will be overlooked. That its rightful place on the dais will be taken by some underachiever with blue blood.
I think it is one of the things that make our crowds (both football, and bball under Frank) so great.

You can definitely tell who has actually seen K-State games this year and who has not when they offer their "analysis." The giveaway is usually a comment about the "lack of offense" or "if they don't let Klein run and make him throw the ball, I don't think K-State has the tools to win."
The guys on the Solid Verbal podcast are some of the worst about this, and you'd think that by week 10, they could have been bothered to watch at least one K-State game. But every week they come in and talk about how they think this is the week K-State loses, because all K-State has is Klein. But what do you expect from a podcast hosted by a Penn State/Notre Dame fan from the East Coast and a Oregon fan from the West Coast? I even heard one of them interview an Oregon o-lineman several weeks back on a different podcast and the Oregon guy went on and on about how good he thought K-State was after watching the OU game. On the next podcast, they couldn't even be bothered to preview our game against ranked Iowa State. This week, they talked about how Iowa State could be salty against OU because it was "in Iowa City." They just have a pretty big blind spot when it comes to Big 12 football.

http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/notre-dame-history-voters-on-side-to-reach-bcs-title-game-ahead-of-kansas-state-110212
When LHC Bill Snyder became Kansas State’s coach, the first time in 1989, he walked through the football offices, past the trophy case and saw that it held ... one trophy. One. The 1982 Independence Bowl. Runners-up. Snyder was so embarrassed by K-State’s history that he took the trophy and gave it to his new secretary.
She took it home and put it on her piano.
Everyone already knows that Snyder has performed a miracle turnaround. That’s not what this is about. Instead, it’s about places in history, and how impossible they are to turn.
This is about Notre Dame, really. Notre Dame and Kansas State are the top contenders for the final spot in the BCS title game, the spot that will face (read: lose to) Alabama.
It is the perfect contrast. Notre Dame with maybe the greatest history in college football or Kansas State, with the worst. I’m in possibly a unique spot of having covered both teams for a living – K-State as a beat writer for the Wichita Eagle and Notre Dame as a columnist at the Chicago Sun-Times.
K-State is a nice story waiting for a conclusion, a spot in the BCS title game. I just don’t see it happening for one main reason:
There is no way that an undefeated Notre Dame team is going to be left out of the national championship game.
That’s not based on any BCS-computer formulas. It’s about how voters see Notre Dame, and have seen the Irish for decades. It might even just be an accidental bias by now. But there is a reason the BCS rules were written around Notre Dame in the first place, to include the Irish whenever possible.
Two-thirds of the BCS rankings are decided on human voting. And college football has been waiting for years for Notre Dame to come back.
Historically, Notre Dame gets every break, every possible Heisman vote, every ranking, every bowl game. K-State’s history fit on a secretary’s piano, likely next to a fern.
Now, Notre Dame and Kansas State are trying for a national title trophy, and also for the Heisman Trophy: Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o and K-State quarterback Collin Klein are the favorites.
Klein seems to be everyone’s top choice (I’d go with Te’o.) And it’s just impossible to believe that the sport will short-change Notre Dame for Kansas State twice. Snyder and Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly are both saying the right things, that they aren’t thinking about the national championship game. You have to keep your focus, they say...

It's because this guy hasn't been paying attention to college football this season. If this were true, then why didn't that group of people vote ND past us after they beat OU in Norman? Those voters took what was by far their best chance to move ND past KSU and completely ignored it. I don't know how a writer could reasonably think "Hey, 95% of the voters didn't move ND past KSU after ND won in Norman, but they will surely move ND past KSU after beating 3 shitty ACC teams in a row followed by USC."

They gained more points on us in the Harris poll this week than in any before.
Also, and this isn't in response to Hamburglar, but if you read the whole article the dude was basically putting ND on blast for sucking forever, and calling voters assholes and idiots for catering to the illusion that ND is more than they are.

Of the 14 previous years of the Bowl Championship Series, no teams have been eligible for at-large selection more than Kansas State and Florida, five times each. And no team has been passed over for at-large opportunities — ahem — more times than the Wildcats, who've received zero bids in five chances.
Heck, among schools that have been among the at-large pool at least four different times, they're still the only one that hasn't gotten its ticket punched by a bowl committee — the Gators notched three bids in five tries, Ohio State is 4-for-4 and Boise State is 1-for-4.
Even more galling: In four of those years, K-State was passed over by at least one team with a lower BCS ranking. In 2011-12, it happened twice over, with No. 11 Virginia Tech and No. 13 Michigan getting at-large nods over the then-No. 8 Wildcats.

Cause they suck and play in crap conferences. We were ranked higher. It has everything to do with making money and screwing over the little guy, not with achievement on the field

Like I said, don't be dumb. We're tied with Florida in number of seasons being at-large eligible. Florida got selected three of those five seasons to zero for us.

I don't think it will happen, but it isn't like K-State hasn't gotten screwed before.
we haven't been screwed before
Except almost every year of the DOD and last year
if we go undefeated every year of the dod we play for the national title every year.

You are right, but getting passed over by teams with identical records is not the same thing as getting screwed. Losers blame others for "screwing" them, winners win and go to bcs bowls.

Of course it is the same thing as getting screwed. If it only happened once or twice, you would be right. But it is more than that, and you're wrong.

In summary: if we would have won more we wouldn't have gotten "screwed".Guys, I am more worried about the lack of a conf champ game than anything now. This is what some of the media is been leaning too now. Saying that the lack of the game could give others the chance to leap frog us while we are idle.
Would hugely suck considering the 1998 conf champ game hurt us, and now not having one could hurt us to.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't type stuff here.
we won't be idle, we'll play Texas, who will probably be a tougher game than whatever Pud-12 team will play Oregon.
What are you splitting hairs? Screwed, passed over, you know what I'm talking about. I'm not even complaining about it, just saying that it happens.
Post by: ednksu on November 02, 2012, 07:54:57 PM
lfb/bcs/bowlIQOf course we have been screwed before. I mean, the K-State rule is called the K-State rule for a reason. No team has been passed over for at large berths in the BCS more than us, and it's not close.
Having said that, I don' think that ND will pass us this year if we win all of our games. If they were going to pass us, it probably would have happened already. The only chance now is if they whip USC (maybe they beat Oregon tomorrow?) on the 24th and pass us while we are idle.
It's not called the K-State rule. And you're just making up numbers about "getting passed over", and in all those years we would be in the BCS if we win more.

He's the same SOB that used the black card when Prince was fired, but didn't say eff when KU fired Gill.I have always wanted to smash May's face in. This isn't a new thing.Welp, Mark May picked Oklahoma State to win. I've always hated that respect.
:cheers:
it is very hard to go undefeated. there is a 50% chance we lose one of our remaining games, why not this one?
I have no problem being picked against. I just hate him as a person. He's a smug son of a bitch.
He should have been fired for calling us racists on TV, I mean who gets away with slander like that?
lots of people that are both A) black and B) blowhards. See: Stephen A.
Stephan A is stupid, but I've never heard him outright call an entire college/fanbase racist. Plus Stephan A is supposed to be controversial and argumentative, May tries to pass himself off as a serious analyst.
Neither did Mark May, eff you tucks are too much. For years I've asked someone who claims this to produce a quote, YouTube video, mp3, something. You would think if a national analyst called "an entire college/fanbase racist" there would be some trace of it somewhere. There isn't because anyone with an IQ over 58 doesn't think this. You and others who carry this torch need to ask yourselves why you are so threatened by black men with opinions.
You are riding with katdaddy, think about that for a second.

Out of curiosity, I ran a basic search I came across this Whitlock article which is pretty hilarious, in particular these two nuggets.
1) Dumb white farmers can't read books
"Prince carries himself like the smartest man on campus, and he very well might be. But his brand of book intelligence has little traction at a school for future farmers. He talked over everyone's head."
2) Turner Gill. Probably luked a million times but don't care:
"Gill is taking the proper path to coaching greatness. He is likely to get a BCS job in the next two to three years. When he gets it, he'll be ready."

Yeah his point was we weren't good/important enough to fire a coach who went to a bowl, beat UT twice, and at the time of firing had the chance to make 2 bowls in 3 seasons. Same KSU sucks and should be happy with breathing bullshit.
However, racist crackers took May's words a completely different direction even though he said what every other national media guy including Holtz said.

This wasn't the statement that people say May called us racist in. This statement was right after Ron got fired. The thing people say May called us racist was during the bowls. 08 was the height of the "there aren't enough black HCs" discussion. May made some comment that even when black coaches do get jobs, they aren't given the same leeway. He used Prince as an example. Did he call us racist, no. Did he he bring up the Prince firing when talking about the lack of black HCs, yes. Did he say "if RP was white, he'd still have his job", no.
May was saying, "if you aren't like those above you and the boosters, then they are more likely to turn on you." We had just fired RP. Of course it was going to come up. If you fire a black HC at the height of that discussion, it's going to be part of the discussion. He was talking about the larger issue, and we were part of the discussion, as we should have been. It was a timing issue with the larger issue. He never called us racist.

Kansas State
Best matchup: Notre Dame. Alabama and Oregon are the top two teams in the country, so KSU's best shot at winning would come against the Irish. I'll also add that this would be a great matchup. If all four teams go undefeated, I hope we can see a Tide-Ducks final and Wildcats-Irish Fiesta Bowl. There's a legitimate chance it could happen (check out Brad Edwards' latest BCS bowl projections).
Worst matchup: I mentioned this in the Alabama section, but I don't think the Crimson Tide are a good matchup for the Wildcats. K-State does all the little things right and makes you beat yourself, but it's hard to do that against Alabama. The Tide are a dangerous combination of elite talent and consistent play.

I'm starting to think Snyder is going to sit CK on Sat to scheme to the media into realizing we're not a "one-man show" Then the national media will be all over our nuts for how good the team is blah blah blah, and CK comes back against the Ursidaggies and Tejas to win back the Heisman love.:dunno:

Watched Monday's episodes of PTI & ATH. Number of times we were mentioned during the college football segments on both shows: one, when right after the ATH discussion ended Tony Reali said "Nobody even brought up Kansas State".
then JA Adande said that Kstate would matchup the best with Alabama.

How Alabama, Oregon, and Notre Dame passed the test

The whole article glorifies playing bad and being a big pussy - cause it is REAL:
Quote
McCarron covered himself with a towel, and I was tempted to dismiss this as so much histrionic silliness. But then it kept going, and it quickly became clear that this was the realest thing we'd seen all night. He'd stared down the beast, and he'd survived, and when that happens all you can do is drop your defenses and be damned thankful that you're still here.
Tiny Footnote at the bottom of the page:
Quote
I will temporarily exempt Kansas State from this discussion, since they were never really challenged by Oklahoma State. I realize that their remaining schedule does not present any obvious challenges, but I imagine their white-knuckle moment is coming. It always does.

His previous article: •Kansas State head coach LHC Bill Snyder and Heisman Trophy candidate Collin Klein have led their team to an 8-0 season.
Without the thread titles, you'd never know the difference between this thread and the butthurt thread.
One is focused on butthurt about the media and the other is focused on butthurt about actual poll results. It's a fine line.

Want ND or Oregon. No way I will be able to survive the talking point about how great the SEC is just because they are able to get a shot at the NC.
So sick of the SEC talking points. When the Big 12 teams all beat each other up, it's because we're all mediocre. When the SEC beats each other up, it's because they're all so good.
When a former mediocre Big 12 team beats the best SEC team what does that mean? :dunno:
A&M's 2011 season has nothing to do with this season. Big 12 apologists are embarrassing themselves by trying to say 2012 A&M would be mediocre in the Big 12 this season. New coaching staff, new QB, etc. That being said, they still do play "Big 12 football".
I do not agree with this. I think SEC teams are as ill equipped to deal with the Big 12 style of offense as the offenses are against the SEC type of defenses. Everyone just assumed the SEC defense would dominate the smaller spread you out offenses when really it's more even. The SEC isn't as dominant as everyone made them out to be. A&M isn't really that different this year and they had a NFL starter as a QB last year so I'm not buying that it's all Manziel.

I love making fun of the SEC bias as much as anyone (5 teams in the top 10 is ridiculous, no matter what) but they still dominate in bowls every year. Been waiting for the year that the SEC doesn't have a winning record in bowl games, but it hasn't come yet. Sad because the NC's have been some flukes. Colt getting hurt, Oregon getting in, 2 SEC teams, etc. But at this point we have no evidence besides close non-con games to say that the SEC is not the best.

I'm not sure about that. They are 2-2 against teams better than Baylor right now, and that's making a big stretch to say that MSU is actually better than Baylor.

They play better in bowl games bc every SEC team is rewarded by being selected for their respective bowl. Everyone else has to settle for their bowl game bc they got looked over for the game they deserved and play half heartedly as a resultWant ND or Oregon.

2 SEC teams make it into the BCS every year, which means SEC teams outside the BCS generally play a team that is ranked higher in that team's respective conference than said SEC team is in theirs. Here's a good example, K-State finished 2nd in the Big 12, played the team that finished 3rd in the SEC. That would be a disadvantage to the SEC, but they still win a lot of their bowl games year in and year out.

The SEC also has 3 bowl games tied into the big 10. That probably helps, playing that garbage conference
Although I could care less about looking it up, because we're number 1, my guess would be that they are successful in bowls because they are set up to play puds in bowl games on many occasions. Always seem to be playing some shitty Michigan team or a piece of crap ACC or Big East team. He'll with them. It's somebody else's turn to win, mainly us.

Can KSU ever benefit from this as the 2nd team from12 taken? No. And I could easily see a scenario where KSU gets skipped while winning the conference.
This.
Anything less than undefeated and we're out.
Unless we have several years of sustained success and can start seasons in the top 10. Just like everyone.
So, under your system, when will K-State be eligible to win a national title? Will another 10 win season in 2012 set us up for a chance in 2013? Or do we need to wait for 2014?
It's not my system, it's reality. Kansas State would be eligible to play for a national title if they went undefeated next year. hth

hard to care when the dude went to ND and has a son at ND. it's not even media bias at that point, it's just a fan of a program.

To this point, their "prove us wrong" stuff has been utter shite. But Josh Freeman was just on, so not a total loss.

Its just fun that ND and their fans have to make arguments for why they should be in over us. Even better that after we win out all of those arguments won't matter. Extremely enjoyable.
When there are 3 undefeateds including K-State and ND, and ND is on the outside looking in, the ND mystique has been shattered. That would suck as an ND fan. I think that it's kinda funny that we can thank frontbutt for some of that.

No. If fsu was undefeated they would be in the middle of the sec circle jerk between 4-9 right now

Their schedule would be waaayyy worse in the ACC. Look at FSU's computer numbers, they are unbelievably bad.

The ND love shouldn't surprise anyone...were they one, last second, pushed 33 yard field goal away from losing to a 4-6 team that lost to Youngstown State? Yes. Is that important to the ND lovers? Not a bit. And that's what makes this so rough ridin' sweet. Not a damn thing all their bitching and complaining is going to do about the fact that they are on the outside looking in. Their tears taste delicious. Feels good.
the arguement that they almost lost isn't a good one. although i do agree on the delicious tears.

Of course it is. Bama found a way to come back and win against LSU...props to them, the "almost loss" argument isn't a good one in this case...(regardless of whether it was LSU or Savannah State...Bama WON the game). In the case of Pitt-ND, ND did NOTHING on that last fg attempt to WIN the game. They didn't block it. The miss wasn't caused by pressure. The kid simply missed a chip shot. ND didn't find a way to win, Pitt lost. Big distinction in my book.

True, but Baylor is no 07 Mizzou. And "Dream Season" was accurate...not much basis in reality or playing quality football teams. "Best Team, Best Player" is accurate, too.

Kelly said he believes Kansas State (No. 2 AP) and Oregon (No. 1 AP) are higher in the BCS standings simply because they started the season higher in the rankings and have stayed there.
He said the main reason the Wildcats are ahead of the Irish: "They got to Oklahoma before we did."
The Wildcats beat Oklahoma 24-19 on Sept. 22. The Irish beat the Sooners 30-13 on Oct. 27.
"If you just pulled Kansas State out and looked at their schedule and who they beat and you pulled Notre Dame out and you looked at them, I think a reasonable person would say, 'I think I can see Notre Dame being ahead of Kansas State in this situation.
Quote
In an interview with SiriusXM College Sports Nation on Wednesday, Kelly said he wouldn't campaign for a spot in the national championship game with matchups against Wake Forest and USC still remaining, but will go to bat for the Irish after the regular season if they're still perfect.
"I'm just not good enough to be able to do both," Kelly said on SiriusXM, referencing campaigning and coaching. "I'm challenged enough on a day-to-day basis to keep my guys focused on Wake Forest (on Saturday). The rest of the stuff, let's see how Notre Dame does. Let's take Wake Forest, see what happens there, and then USC. Then, if we get to the point after USC that we're undefeated, I'll go on 'Oprah' if I have to. Maybe I'll come back on Sirius."
I hope the Big XII and Currie are ready to fight for K-State. I don't see LHC Bill Snyder getting his hands dirty with this politicking. Might have to get some negative commercials started in the swing states.

"I'm challenged enough on a day-to-day basis to keep my guys focused on Wake Forest (on Saturday). The rest of the stuff, let's see how Notre Dame does. Let's take Wake Forest, see what happens there, and then USC. Then, if we get to the point after USC that we're undefeated, I'll go on 'Oprah' if I have to. Maybe I'll come back on Sirius."
I hope the Big XII and Currie are ready to fight for K-State. I don't see LHC Bill Snyder getting his hands dirty with this politicking. Might have to get some negative commercials started in the swing states.
ND fans in the comments are so, so butthurt and delusional.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing. I am saying that through some cosmic event the new BCS No. 1, Kansas State, has replaced Notre Dame as America's Team. The Notre Dame that used to get every possible benefit of the doubt from commentators, polls and -- supposedly -- God, has shrunk back before our eyes.

Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
Who: No. 9 Oklahoma vs. No. 6 LSU
How They Get There
Even with two losses, the Oklahoma Sooners will be in contention for the Big 12 Championship and will get their much-desired rematch against Collin Klein and the Kansas State Wildcats. A late touchdown gives the upset to the Sooners and sends them to Phoenix to take on an SEC at-large team.

Allstate Sugar Bowl
Who: No. 3 Alabama vs. No. 5 Kansas State
How They Get There
Alabama was the clear-cut No. 1 team down the stretch before suffering a decisive upset to the Texas A&M Aggies on Nov. 10. No matter, the Crimson Tide will still get a notable bowl game by getting Heisman hopeful Collin Klein and his Wildcats in a game of “Should have been” BCS title contenders.
If Klein can stay healthy, this game may end up stealing the show in bowl season. The Wildcats play some defense, too, and have an offense similar to the Texas A&M team that knocked off the No. 1 Crimson Tide earlier in the season. The Wildcats finish their season in New Orleans after losing to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game.

Kansas State Wildcats (-13) at Baylor Bears: Double digits is too much weight for a Baylor team that's found serious punch in its rushing attack in the form of thunder and lightning duo Glasco Martin and Lache Seastrunk. Baylor may be 4-5, but the Bears are hungry, confident and ready to take it to the nation's top-ranked team. Kansas State is a tired team right now, and Collin Klein may have to add "last-minute comeback" to his Heisman résumé.
Kansas State 38, Baylor 37

About that Kansas State rant: My bad
BY JOSEPH GOODMAN
[email protected]
It’s long past time for me to punch myself in the face, recognize greatness for what it is and enjoy this special run by Kansas State.
A few weeks ago in this space, I wrote a regretfully amateurish column about the Wildcats. The premise of the column — nobody outside of Manhattan, Kan., wants to watch Kansas State in the BCS title game — was sound enough, but backing that up with arguments such as “LHC Bill Snyder is boring” was just immature, never mind irrelevant.
Your are forgiven.

No, the Ducks' defense isn't great, but they're going to score 40 or 50 or maybe even 60 on you. Can your team top that? Nobody has yet. Nobody has come close. Only Southern California finished within 11 points of the Ducks, and USC has perhaps the country's top NFL prospects at quarterback and wide receiver.

ESPN says we're going to lose. Big 12 teams are 2-5 in their first week at #1 since 2003. In other words, we probably lost.

Kansas State Football: Collin Klein and Wildcats Exposed as Frauds by BaylorBy Donald Wood(Featured Columnist) on November 18, 2012 4,846 reads
75
After losing to the Baylor Bears 52-24 Saturday night, then-No. 1 Kansas State and star quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Collin Klein were exposed as utter frauds.
Kansas State was vaunted so far in 2012 for starting the season off at 10-0 in the Big 12 conference, but the team faced mediocre competition all season.
While there have been four ranked squads on the Wildcats’ schedule so far—West Virginia, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma—each has looked weak at times, and wins over these overhyped teams have lacked merit.
Add in the loss to a less-than-stellar Baylor team (5-5 on the season) rebuilding after the Robert Griffin III era, and the Wildcats house of cards came crashing down Saturday—as did the team’s hope for BCS national championship glory.
Wildcats head coach LHC Bill Snyder told the Associated Press via ESPN about how his team prepared for the game and how it all fell apart:
I don't know if I would call it getting smacked in the mouth, but they took it to us. I really thought we prepared well, but as we found out, we didn't. I don't think we handled the situation as well as we should have been able to.
While this loss was an indictment of how bad Klein can be at times—27-of-50 for 286 yards and three interceptions—the constant passing was a result of the porous play of the defense and the offensive unit trying to mount a comeback.
Coming into Week 12, the Wildcats defense was ranked 25th in the nation (allowing 20.8 points per game), but the unit looked like a shell of the Kansas State team that was ranked No. 1. The defense believed its own hype and forgot to play Saturday.
By the time the Wildcats woke up, it was already too late.
When the dust settled, Baylor had gouged Kansas State’s vaunted run defense for 342 yards and five touchdowns on 49 carries. With the clock and scoreboard in the Bears favor, the Wildcats didn’t have a chance.
That’s what you call being exposed as a fraud.

Everytime ND has been picked to be in a close one or lose, they've stepped up. I think they can win and at worst it will be close. Very disciplined team. I don't think this Alabama team is as good as last years or that the SEC is as good as advertised.
This. ND will make a game out of it at the very least. I expect them to win. No one has told me why they think Alabama is so good. The 2 good teams they beat gave the game to them. LSU could have won if they played normally instead of Ron Prince'ing it up. Georgia could have won if 1. Bama didn't randomly go for 2 and make it or 2. Georgia would have known how to stop the clock at the end of the game.
Obviously, Alabama still won those games, and they definitely deserve to be in the NC, but it's ridiculous to think they are going to dominate ND.

there were 63 chances to pick against an SEC team, of those 63 chances only 12 times did someone pick against a SEC team. Of those 12 picks 5 were against Mississippi State. That means the other 8 games gave the opportunity to pick against the SEC 56 times, they were only picked against 7 of those 56 times.

The SEC may be overrated, but it's still miles ahead of the ACC and Big 10. I'm surprised more people are not picking OU to beat Texas A&M, though. The media has really been sleeping on the Sooners this season.

helps when 3 of their bowl games are against the BIG, 1 against the Big XII, none against the PAC-12, 2 against the ACC, 1 against domer, and 2 against the Big East.
Which is another way of saying they have 2 difficult teams in the bowl season. Though I'd take Pitt against :opcat:

Both Siegendorf and van de Zilver say they’ve already made a solid profit on the game and the “what if” scenario of a Kansas State-Oregon matchup keeps them from longing for a healthier market. That matchup would have turned four years of bets into hell, they say.

But over the last two years I just want to cry when I see some the opportunities a back with some more speed and power could have in our offense. Particularly in the 2011, just so many times a little bigger, faster back would have taken a play to the house, that Hubert got caught on.

Maybe not you, but pretty much nobody wanted them until they got into the ACC. eff-tard Soren Petro used to dog them saying they didn't even have half the population of Lousville as fans where most were UK fans, but once they got in the ACC he started saying what a mistake it was that the Big12 didn't grab them.yeah, louisville will be #1.

Now, I know what you guys are going to say before you even rough ridin' say it.
Humans haven't needed to walk places in like thousands of years, and the domestication of hoofed animals was one of the driving factors in the creation of organized civilization and therefore the K-State Equestrian team winning 3 team Reserve National Championships and producing 5 individual National Champions is about 6000 times bigger deal (at least one bigger deal for every year that humans on horses have been dominating humans on foot) than KU winning a human female running contest.
BUT, we are all in the same boat on this one, because Equestrian is not counted either. So, let's not have KU fans posting angry stuff in this thread anymore. :tsc:

QuoteThe wild-card spot went to the most successful among the school's following spectator sports in 2012-13: softball, men's lacrosse, men's ice hockey, men's soccer, wrestling, women's soccer or women's gymnastics.
No wild card for women's track? WTF?
:curse: :chainsaw:
What a rough ridin' joke. There is absolutely no reason for sports like wrestling, men's ice hockey, and women's gymnastics to be on this list. They should just stick to the 3 sports that anybody cares about. Football, men's basketball, and baseball.

The conference is going to be a dogfight this season. I can't say I disagree with this.
Yep, 1-6 are all interchangeable depending on how the ball bounces on any given Saturday.
The only thing the media likes more than giving us no respect is saying in November how we were their darkhorse.

Yeah, Baylor's defense was really playing pretty well at the end of last year, and if they continue to improve, they are easily one of the 3 best teams in the Big 12. Hopefully their offense takes a step back without Nick Florence.

Our wildcat is a man beast, though. It's by far the most unique mascot in all of sports.

Your point? Wildcats are super popular(because of the elite K-State Wildcats obviously), cartoon magpies are not. What don't you get about this? Also, having been to KU games before, why do you have so many Jayhawk mascots if you only need one Jayhawk? I'll hang up and listen.

Ubben predicts a 3 way tie for the season's outcome :jerk:
What a cop out on an actual prediction. Maybe Ubbs got sick of looking dumb when he picks the wrong confy champ, so he decided to go for broke and put 3 people up top, trippling his odds.
Yes dumbass, he copped out by coming up with a three way tie after predicting every single game. I could see how you would think he is copping out though because there certainly isn't recent precedent for a three way tie at the top of the conference.

Well dumbass, if you'd look at a couple of those picks he made, they were just made to end up with a 3 way tie. He had texas with 9 wins, atop the big 12, lose its second to last game, at home, against sand-aggies. Thats a stupid F'n pick. Then he has Ok-state beating OU on the road (but in OT!!!!) in the last game of the year. If you think he just sat down with a pen and paper and started picking games and got to the end of the season and said "well geeeee look at that a three way tie DURRRR" then you are mistaken sir. The longer Ubben was at ESPN the more middle of the road hes got on all his picks (like in 2011 when he started out sour on the Cats but by the end of the season was all like "I knew all along!") and this is just the latest example. Its going to be interesting going forward, because for all the :shakesfist: he was still the closest thing the kats had to a proponent at ESPN.

UT has gone 5-11 at home in the Big 12 the past 3 years. Six of eight Big 12 teams who play at DKR have won there in the past 3 years. Other than KU, picking them to lose a conference game at home is not a stupid pick. It maybe wrong, but certainly not stupid. If Prince can win at DKR, Swagwood certainly could.Good point, but he won't.

I agree, but not out of the realm of possibility is all I'm saying.
Also, saying a pundit is trying to walk the middle of the road, but does it by making outrageous non-middle of the road picks, seems like a stupid argument to me.

North Dakota State at Kansas State, 17-14
Behold, my first-ever FCS over FBS pick. The Bison -- FCS' two-time defending national champs -- have knocked off Kansas, Minnesota and Colorado State in the past three years. Of course, none was a reigning BCS bowl team, but K-State is certainly vulnerable (and equally capable of turning right around and winning 10 games). LHC Bill Snyder's squad is breaking in a new quarterback and 10 new defensive starters.

They should just not put out 'official' rankings until the BCS computers do as well.

At this point I don't really give two effs about 'pre-preseason' rankings. I will start to get annoyed if we are getting shafted by projections a month or so out because then that actually does put us in a hole to dig out of and could affect the season.

Preseason rankings are very important. They are basically a tiebreaker for teams with the same record when it comes to postseason selections.

Thats why I care about preseason rankings a month out, but what a SEC writer puts out a few hours after the NCG where a SEC school looses means little.

The good news this year is that preseason rankings mean much less than they ever have before. Win the Big 12, we'll have a shot at the NC.
Not to be a killjoy but I doubt we would have been picked in '12, Baylor certainly wouldn't have been picked in '13 and OSU wasn't a certainty in '11

If would have been undefeated, they would have picked us. We probably need to run the table.

OSU would've been picked in '11, they barely fell short of the title game as it was that year. You are right about the other two though.

I agree on KSU and Baylor but it took poll shenanigans for OSU to not make the top 2 in '11. While all three lost in the 2nd to last week of the regular season OSU was the only one the 3 to not be blown out.This could very well be fact. :thumbs:The good news this year is that preseason rankings mean much less than they ever have before.

Yes but that has always been the case. This year we might have a better shot with one loss if we beat Auburn and Auburn ends up as the SEC winner or the SEC at-large.

Well it hasn't always been the case that there will be a 4 team playoff. I guess what I am saying is that in any scenario that we would make the playoffs we would have been in the BCS Championship Game anyway (i.e a #1 or #2 seed is probably the only way we get in the playoffs).Teams you can pencil in the playoffs now:

As it stands now, I agree with Chings. Moving forward, the conference (at least at the top) needs to elevate its game to ensure the Big 12 is always represented and maybe get two teams in down the road.
Post by: KITNfury on June 11, 2014, 10:50:09 AM
I think it is less a KSU thing than it is a Big 12 thing. The conference as a whole needs to start kicking more ass. Win some playoff games. Win it all. Piss pound schools in noncon, bowls, and the playoffs.Outside of winning it all, I think we've done fine. Besides the SEC, every conference feels this way.

I think it depends on who the loss is to and how close it is. If we lose a close one to Auburn and they go on to win the SEC or finish in the top 3 of the conference, then I think there is no way we are left out. But if we win every game save for another blowout loss to Baylor and finish tied for the conference championship, then I don't think we get in over a two loss SEC runner up, unless it's Auburn.

I think they took a composite from several rankings and from there I'm not sure what criteria were used in selecting these 5.
They ranked UCLA 8 just like the composite ranking; however, they did not rank K-State (along with Phil Steele) and yet we came out at 17...thanks to CBS and USA today for the #13 rankings respectively.

Yes I know K-State/TCU wasn't on an ESPN property but they have shown SEC on CBS games on their countdown.
The top 25 games was complete crap. They should have just named it what it was "SEC Suckfest 2014". I understand that they make a ton of money off of lunatic SEC fans but jeezus at least pretend to care about college football outside of the SEC.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I feel like ESPN is going to be heavily influencing the ranking of teams for the playoff and be using the committee as puppets to take the blame away from them.
I'm not an ESPN conspiracy theorist by any means, I love ESPN, but I'm worried about this ESPN/SEC business partnership and how it will effect their coverage. SEC has managed to get a very cozy relationship with two of the three television entities that cover cover college football. I know there is a selection committee but if you are told so many times what is best I don't know how it doesn't at the very least sit in the sub-conscience.

Fox Sports One needs to start kicking super amts of ass and then get it's own rankings/poll that is then used in consideration of overall team rankings. It really is a conflict of interest that ESPN has.

Georgia projected to have the 7th best defense in the countyoury. That's absolutely absurd. Last year:SEC bias, bro. It exists. I'm not one to get super butt hurt about it, but also not dumb enough to think it is non existent. Not saying you do our don't btw.

So the ESPN poll got me thinking about CFB voting biases; how the votes are distributed and how regions vote. Only two of the top ten underrated are from the eastern time zone and none of them are from the south. Meanwhile of the ten most overrated six of them are southern, two of the remaining four are from the eastern time zone and all of the remaining four are schools who are considered traditional powers.

Legitimate question here: Do you think the voters just completely forgot about us? I mean there's no way they think TTU is actually better, right? :dunno:
T-tech beat a really good asu team in their bowl game (with a freshman qb), we beat a really bad michigan team in ours.

Bold conference prediction: Kansas will win multiple conference games. How bold of a prediction is this? Well, the last time Kansas won multiple conference games in the same season was 2008. In the five seasons since the Jayhawks have gone 3-40 in the Big 12. Seriously. 3-40.
Still puts them in 10th.

But was it a peferect storm for them last year? They had an awesome big 12 schedule last year, we were their 2nd hardest road game and they got us a decently early. Also thought last year was a peak year for them and the big 12 was down.
Yeah, I think they definitely take a step back this year. I don't think the defense will be as bad as it was when RG3 was the QB, but it won't as good as it was last year. I could easily see 9-3 from them with losses to OU, KSU and possibly TCU/Tech/Some rando team.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn will take the weekend off before getting its game week started in earnest for Kansas State next Thursday.
Gus Malzahn is scheduled to meet with the media for practice.
Follow along here for live updates.
Sammie Coates is expected to play next week, according to Malzahn.
Auburn used some of the bye week to do the evaluation that the Tigers did last season.
Kansas State's defensive end, Mueller, has a high motor, doesn't take plays off, Malzahn's been very impressed by him.
Malzahn says he's talked to LHC Bill Snyder, but he says he's really just kind of watched the Kansas State program under Snyder from afar.
Kansas State is very good at what they do. Malzahn says repeatedly that the Tigers don't make mistakes.
Malzahn on the zone read: "First of all, it starts upfront. ... And we've been fortunate to have some very effective zone read quarterbacks, even if they're not that fast."
Auburn has used some different guys at quarterback in practice in preparation for the Tigers.
Malzahn says there's some value in having transfers like Austin Golson and Tray Matthews available on scout team.
From a coaching standpoint, it's way too early for the coaches to get concerned about Nick Marshall's passing efficiency.
Auburn and Kansas State will be going for the same types of quarterbacks because both offenses require somebody who can run.
Doing the CBS thing is for exposure.

3-0, have blown out everyone they have played. including boise state who is probably better than anyone kansas state has played.
i'd say if we are basing our polls on what has been done on the field so far this season, ole miss at #10 makes at least as much sense if not more than kansas state at #20.

A one loss Big 12 champion is guaranteed to get in.I have a hard time disagreeing. So many people seem to think that all these one loss teams from other conferences will remain that way, but many will drop another. If we are to assume that the committee will be impartial, there's really no way you keep it a one loss Big 12 champ

It's going to be tough for the Big 12 to get a team in the playoffs this year without some big breaks/upsets (and no this isn't a poor KSU thing, or SEC conspiracy thing). It's very likely that its 2 SEC teams (assuming the below scenarios play out) + FSU (even with one loss) + X at this point.
The X is going to be a tough fight between:
Notre Dame/One loss Pac 12 Champ/One loss Big Ten Champ/One loss Big 12 Champ
The more of the above that can be eliminated, obviously the better!
I know its dumb, but the lack of a championship game is going to hurt when comparisons are made. One could argue in good faith that any one-loss Power 5 conference champ should be in.
The following get two SEC teams (without much controversy) in I think:
An SEC West team goes undefeated, but leaves an SEC West team with 1 loss
An SEC West team wins the division with 1 loss, but leaves other SEC West team with 1 loss
Georgia wins the SEC champ game and Ole Miss/Miss State/Auburn/Alabama have only one loss
The following MIGHT get two SEC team:
Undefeated/one loss SEC West team beats one loss (at the time) UGA in a close SEC champ game (gets both SEC West winner and UGA in)
The following MIGHT get three SEC teams in:
Undefeated Miss State loses to two loss UGA in SEC champ game, Auburn/Ole Miss remains with one loss
One loss Ole Miss wins SEC Champ game, Auburn AND Miss State remain with one loss (here Ole Miss beats [at the time] undefeated Miss State in Egg Bowl, Auburn wins out). This could also be Auburn winning the SEC Champ game, I don't know how the tie-breaker would work out.

"To this point," the top 10 teams have 0 to 1 losses. As teams pick up a second loss, they'll drop out of the playoff picture.

the SEC added a new tie breaker for 2014, it will come down to the record of the cross divsional opponents - Bama may finally get the short end due to the sanctity of the 3rd Saturday in October or whatever it is.

steve dave, do you think there are 5 SEC teams better than the best Big 12 team?Right now, I'd say 3 to 4 SEC teams are better than anything the Big 12 has to offer. I think Georgia would finish no better than 4th in the Big 12, and we have no idea how good Alabama is yet because of their schedule, but I think Alabama would certainly be up there competing for a Dr. Pepper B12 title.
The problem is none of the Big 12's top 3 teams (TCU/KSU/Baylor) beat anybody worthwhile in the OOC. The best OOC win between the three of us is TCU's blowout of Minnesota, an extremely average Big 10 team. We went toe-to-toe with Auburn, which is impressive, no doubt, but Auburn is just another really good SEC team, along with the Mississippis, and (probably) Bama.
Aside from Georgia (whose resume at this point, is poor compared to the rest of the top 12 outside of Michigan State and Notre Dame), I have no problem with the SEC's rankings.

it uses some pretty dumb assumptions... namely "the sec champion will be no worse than 2nd; that's just the way it is"
sorry, but if mississippi state goes 12-0 and then loses a 1 point game to georgia who has losses to say... south carolina, auburn, and georgia tech... then georgia is not going to be that high.
and why on earth is michigan state in there? shouldn't we wait for them to beat a 2nd team in the top 70 before we call them playoff bound?

i don't disagree, but it's pretty rare for a team outgain their opponent and "get smoked". it can happen, but it typically takes an unusual set of circumstances given turnovers, special teams, 3rd down play, and/or penalties to get it to happen.

Alabama and K-State's schedule so far has basically been a wash, so whatever. If you're dead set on complaining about overrated SEC teams, stick with Georgia, and to a lesser degree Alabama (only because they're ranked SO much higher than K-State).
Post by: ChiComCat on October 27, 2014, 12:05:44 PM
Alabama opened at about an 85% chance to win and Oklahoma controlled the second half - Not all that close when OU was never worse 2 to 1 to win in the 4th.

i'm assuming in that picture that it means we won out and finished unbeaten in the big 12 winning @OU, @TCU, @WVU, and @BU. if that happens and we are the second OUT of the playoff, i will burn everything down.

no that picture is how things stand if the season were to end today in the opinion of Brad Edwards.
For what it is worth, if Auburn, Mississippi State, and Florida State all win out, Kansas State vs. Oregon will be an interesting debate for the last spot (if they were to both win out as well). The odds of all those teams winning out is almost zero, but still...

Auburn better hope we get left out. We aren't missing fg's these days.
and auburn isn't dropping long touchdown passes?
do you think auburn would have taken a knee on the 20 yard line as time expired if they had been trailing?

If you have 2 losses and one of them is to a team that is definitely IN then you are out. No rematches.
so you are saying it is better to lose to teams outside the top 4 than inside the top 4?
LOL, okay.
it's too bad weight is given to conference champions when conferences can vary so much in strength. it should be the 4 best teams. if all 4 of them are from the pacific northwest, then so be it. if all 4 happen to be from alabama and mississippi, then so be it. if all 4 are from the upper midwest, then so be it.

Big LOL to anyone who thinks there are 4 SEC teams better than anything in the Big 12. Mississippi State is the only team for sure better until further notice. Auburn might be better, hard to say, but I'd put them above at this point. Alabama and Ole Miss have shown nothing to put them above anyone of the top 3 in the Big 12. They should be mixed in with BU, TCU, and KSU.

I think a top 4 loss is equally as bad as a loss to a bad team, but then again, I don't like rewarding teams for losing football games. Your ranking should be based upon who you beat, not who you lose to. Auburn should get a big bump for beating Kansas State. Kansas State should be given no credit for losing to Auburn. That is the way it should be.

Yes, absolutely. Both are worth nothing. An Auburn win should be huge, though. Say team A plays our 2014 schedule and finishes 7-5 with wins over SFA, ISU, UTEP, Tech, OSU, and Kansas. Team B plays our schedule and finishes 5-7 with wins over Auburn, Oklahoma, TCU, West Virginia, and Baylor. Which team would you rather face? I would be far more worried about the 5-7 school with wins over good teams than the 7-5 school that can't beat anybody with a pulse.

Yes. You should be rewarded for beating good teams. You should not be rewarded for losing to them. You should get next to no credit for beating a school like Kansas, and 0 credit for losing to them. Basically, having them on the schedule should be treated as a lost opportunity. I would say a team that loses to them but beats Auburn is probably better than a team that loses to Auburn and beats Kansas.

The Census Bureau has the same criteria everywhere. Generally it where you live for most of the year or where you were living on April 1.
Individually, each city is smaller than Manhattan if you add their enrollment to the census count. The counties are also much smaller.

That's not true at all, not even a little bit. Let's completely ignore the rules of the census and that ft. riley's population actually counts for Ft. Riley, KS; there are 23,000 students and the fort has a population of 25,000. So for this to be true there would be only 7,000 people in Manhattan that aren't soldiers or students.

Iowa State might be as bad as kansas.
Not even close. They put up 45 on Texas in Austin. KU has scored 82 points all year.

Kansas State
LHC Bill Snyder is one of college football’s top coaches, and it’s always risky to count out the Wildcats in any preseason prediction. But as we turn the page from 2014 to 2015, Kansas State has some major personnel losses. The prolific combination of quarterback Jake Waters and receiver Tyler Lockett have expired their eligibility, and the offense also must replace standout center B.J. Finney and receiver Curry Sexton. The defense loses All-Big 12 end Ryan Mueller, linebacker Jonathan Truman and defensive back Randall Evans. Mueller led the team with 11 tackles for a loss, while Truman paced all defenders with 128 stops. Evans picked recorded four picks and defended 14 passes in 2014. There’s still a solid core of players returning to Manhattan next season but winning at least eight games for the fourth consecutive year might be too much to ask with the departure of a handful of key seniors. Don’t count out Snyder’s team, but K-State is set for a small regression in wins next year.

Only weirdos do predictions about how each game plays out. It's one thing to predict seasons based on talent, stars, coaching, schedule etc. but this dorkstore is just pretending he is the A.I. simulation in a NCAA football video game. Get a real job loser.

Kansas State 24, Kansas 16: Everybody counts out the Jayhawks in David Beaty's introduction to the rivalry. The underdogs respond with three tough quarters but miss too many red zone opportunities. K-State extends its lead on an Alex Delton rushing TD early in the fourth quarter and sit on it the rest of the way. They're going to need one more W to go bowling.

I end up feeling really good about the upcoming season when our preseason rankings look like this. We become the media darling once again when exceed expectations.
i agree. plus it's a k-state rule for us to be shitty when everyone expects us to be good, so i'm perfectly fine with this year's projections.

10:06 AM - 1 Sep 2015
Chatmon: This question will be much easier to answer in a week or so, after we've seen the teams in action, but I'll take a shot at it.
1. TCU -- Gary Patterson has a proven track record of building elite defenses.
2. Baylor -- The Big 12's best defensive line will set the tone.
3. Oklahoma State -- Star power, speed and athleticism.
4. Oklahoma -- If a young secondary comes through, the Sooners can top the list.
5. West Virginia -- The most experienced defense in the conference needs some defensive linemen to be playmakers.
6. Texas -- A young unit that could end up in the top 3 a year from now.
7. Kansas State -- Always tough to beat and features some experience

Here's another guy saying "losing Ertz is a setback." Is it? Honest question. I mean, I know the coaches considered Ertz to be the best, but with Huebner playing relatively well and having never seen Ertz take more than two snaps, I don't know what we've lost. Maybe we lost a lot. Is Huebner a setback?
Post by: HerrSonntag on September 14, 2015, 10:56:53 AM
On paper, I guess "losing your starter" is a setback. But in the real world, is he really your starter if hes only ever played 3 snaps? I guess implicitly we have a less competent quarterback under center than we could without injury, by Bill's estimation. But, quantifying that let alone saying that it is large enough to constitute a setback is probably overstating it.http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/103452/big-12-bowl-projections-time-for-week-2-redo[/url]

I've seen several pieces talking about H-ertz being a setback, and I didn't know whether there was really something to that or if it was just lazy writing. I pretty much assume that these writers know more about football than I do, but also that they're generally lazy hacks, so not sure where to come down on this one.
It's lazy. I am curious to see what our offense would look with Ertz, but then again, both QBs had little experience and probably little actually separated them. It's weird how the media acts like we lost a super stud 2 year starter and he's being replaced by a nobody. It's not even remotely that case.

Right. Despite not starting before last week, Hubner had more in game experience than Ertz and looked (marginally) better in the spring game. Although I believe the reports that were coming out of camp, there was literally no on-the-field proof that Ertz was the better option. I assume Ertz is taking a medical redshirt this year, so it will be interesting to see if he can come back and start next year or if Delton will eclipse him by then.
Then again, who knows. Next year we might be talking about Hubner's heisman chances rather than who the starting QB could be. :Wha:

I don't think you can get a medical redshirt after you've already had a redshirt season. He'll just be a junior next year, anyway.

It's lazy. I am curious to see what our offense would look with Ertz, but then again, both QBs had little experience and probably little actually separated them. It's weird how the media acts like we lost a super stud 2 year starter and he's being replaced by a nobody. It's not even remotely that case.
Right. Despite not starting before last week, Hubner had more in game experience than Ertz and looked (marginally) better in the spring game. Although I believe the reports that were coming out of camp, there was literally no on-the-field proof that Ertz was the better option. I assume Ertz is taking a medical redshirt this year, so it will be interesting to see if he can come back and start next year or if Delton will eclipse him by then.
Then again, who knows. Next year we might be talking about Hubner's heisman chances rather than who the starting QB could be. :Wha:
I don't think you can get a medical redshirt after you've already had a redshirt season. He'll just be a junior next year, anyway.
Actually, you can.
would be pretty funny when our starting qb has been here six years and is already in his second year of vet med and is starting to see patients. "hi mrs snyder, what seems to be the problem with scrappy today? oh also, can you tell your husband that i'll be ten minutes late to practice because i have cadaver duty today?"
Post by: That_Guy on September 15, 2015, 12:11:04 PM
If we go 5-0, he should award himself the Heisman in a post game interview and tell the lower NFL teams to start losing out right now.
How elite would that be. :love:

With an inexperienced signal-caller for the Wildcats, I’m fully convinced that the secondary unit—especially standout defensive back Xavier Woods—can weather the storm, as it’ll practically be a massive step down from Western Kentucky’s receiving corps.

I can't say I disagreed with much either. :dunno:
But why are people still talking like UTSA is a crappy team? They played two quality P-5 opponents, lit one up and almost pulled off the upset, and kept the game competitive with the other for 3 quarters.

I mean, fair. But, still, we will probably not have the 9th best QB in the league this year unless everyone is hurt and Hubener plays again.

every single player on our team should remain vigilant and ask themselves every single day- am i pulling my weight? if the answer is no, then take a look in the mirror and have a long talk with themselves. these keys to victory are so important.

Notre Dame hasn't been relevant in the lifetime of most of the readers on this blogsite and gets #2. And, Boise State??They went to the national championship several years ago...
They were also (essentially) guaranteed a BCS invitation if the went 9-3 or better. Definitely helped inflate their status during the late 90s/early 00s when they were very clearly in decline.

Lombardi: This might be the most talent Stanford has ever had at the skill positions and in the secondary. Can the Cardinal match that with sturdiness at quarterback and in the trenches? Huge questions such as this make Week 1 the wild card that it is, but expect the Cardinal to roll at home 41-24.

Our best in the B12 defense is going to give up 30+ points.
Post by: kso_FAN on October 19, 2016, 02:35:03 PM
However, the defense is not terrible and probably fits right in the middle of the Big 12. WVU, BU, and TCU have the best defensive numbers. OU, UT, OSU, and us are in a group in the middle. ISU, KU, and Tech are the worst.

Random, but this surfaced tonight while I was organizing some stuff in the basement. Wefald gave it to me when I was writing a Collegian story about his retirement. At the time, I thought it was weird he had it so readily available (still picture him opening a closet full of them and grabbing one off the top of the stack), but I'm glad I have it now. He also gave me a copy of the "apology story" SI wrote a few years later.
I bet he seems both of those stories as badges of honor. Not weird at all to have those readily available IMO

No argument here. I think it was just funny to me at the time because he was in the middle of a story and pulled them out of the top drawer of his desk. Regardless, I've read them both several times since receiving them, so I'm definitely grateful he had them handy.

I believe it was a deal Wefald or Snyder (can't remember who) made with the reporter. If we started to improve, he'd come back to Manhattan and do another story. It wasn't a literal apology so much as a "look, they don't suck anymore" story.

How much of this do you guys actually believe about it's mainly the coordinators coaching? What does snyder do up til 3am other than snarfing t-bell?
I've always thought that when we win, synder gets all the credit, but when we lose it's mainly aimed at the coordinators. Can't be both.

I think anyone who has ever had a conversation with anyone over the age of 75 understands that this team wouldn't win any football games if LHC Bill Snyder were actually doing all of the things he gets credit for. I do believe that having him in the head coach position probably helps with recruiting, though.

Commodore D is filthy
Suddenly the offense is a weapon
'Dores get a big win
Very quietly, Vanderbilt has turned into a force. The defense has allowed just two third-down conversions in 26 attempts (7.69 percent) -- the best mark in the nation. They've allowed just two trips to the red zone in two games, and neither resulted in points -- not even a field goal. Good luck, Kansas State. Coach Derek Mason's stingy defense combined with a suddenly balanced offense under quarterback Kyle Shurmur (seven touchdowns, zero interceptions) makes the Commodores the easy play to not only cover, but win comfortably. Pick: Commodores (+3.5)

I mean, don’t we have a significant + TO margin every year under Snyder? At some point it isn’t random good fortune, but something that can be counted on.i would imagine that we tend to have a relatively low number of turnovers on offense (as a byproduct of our style) and a relatively average (maybe slightly below) number of takeaways on D. This would lend itself to a turnover margin that appears to involve an element of luck if you don't look past the numbers.

Agreed. Kleiman had a pipeline to FL while we were stuck with second hand TX kids and local hay humpers.

who will Miss St finish ahead of in the SEC West? Arkansas and Ole Miss maybe?
Before the game it's "MSU is a great team, KState has no chance. Humidity doesn't exist in KS
Post game loss, "Well, MSU really isn't that good and probably won't win another game all season"
Gotta love it.

MSU really isn't very good. How many teams on our schedule are we really capable of beating with the turnovers we had that game? I can sort of understand someone just looking at the box score and not being overly impressed because you wouldn't see just how physically dominating we were.
Yea they have some nice athletes across the line but skill position play especially QB was poor.

Yeah. I mean we are really good, but they are also just pillowy soft. Good teams don't get pushed around like that up and down the football field, even against other good teams.
Any road win against a team that puts actual money into their FB program is great, but just based on the sample size it’s tough to imagine who Miss St could even beat in the Big 12 this year.

I think their coach is/was garbage and will be back to being an O coordinator in three years. two teams trending in different directions with last year and this year pretty obviously showing that.
Kli was the better coach in FCS then and is the better coach in Power 5 now

Not very HFBIQ, but that explanation makes sense given how 1-2 injuries seemed to pretty reliably derail a season for us.
I think we'll have plenty of success in the big-12 with this offense since B12 defenses see it so little. Klieman seems to have a really good system/grasp of it, which is surprising since I think mess is weak OC overall. We'd probably have less success in the Big-10 tbh.
We'll need depth on the O-Line to make it work long term. Lots of pulling tackles and guards will get banged up by crashing safeties/db's.
Post by: MakeItRain on September 16, 2019, 10:13:55 PM
I mean I get it, it's just Mississippi State. It'd be like a Pac 12 barking about beating Iowa State. It's just what you should do.
The only difference is that there was a narrative built around why Mississippi State was not mediocre. There isn't a person in the country willing to build mold aggie into some hot weather, 4 star, killer of big 12 teams.
I had to point out to a Mississippi State fan that their recruitment ratings for the players in the program now are equivalent to Louisville and Virginia Tech.

That's a pretty typical move by duds. The other typical move will be to come back and retweet your tweet when K-State loses.

Didn't know we were obligated to play one game on espn+. I guess this gets that out of the way for most of the teams contracted with +. I'm not feeling like they will play fair with the conference, other than Texas and OU for the rest of the season.
Now that I think about it, it might be more than one game now, we played 2 of them in 2019 when they started playing conference games on there. If it makes you feel better, SEC games are on there now too.
I do agree with you that it's in ESPN's interest to devalue the conference and we have no reason to think they won't do everything they can to do so.

How does putting a game on espn+ lower the viewing numbers as far as tv ratings go? It’s not on tv; there’s no numbers, right? Surely the bidders would know to look at average viewers per game on tv and not be fooled into thinking 0 people cared to watch the KSU game in some manner including dark web.

In addition, eight of the 10 schools in the league will ship hundreds of games across multiple sports to ESPN+ beginning this year, including one regular-season football game, as well as men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, soccer and volleyball games.
Texas will keep its rights on the ESPN-owned Longhorn Network. Oklahoma's rights will remain with Fox Sports, as part of a previous deal. Both schools, however, will be featured on ESPN+ as road teams.
"Our institutions are thrilled with the exposure all 10 athletics programs will receive through this Big 12-branded offering," Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a statement. "Our goal was to be forward thinking in the use of technology to create a conference-branded platform and believe this partnership ideally positions the Big 12 now and into the foreseeable future."
The ESPN+ agreement will start for Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State and Oklahoma State beginning this year. Iowa State, TCU, Texas Tech and West Virginia will join in 2020.
The deal runs through 2024-25, when the rest of the league's TV rights contracts will expire.

The Trojans were favored by more than two touchdowns over the Cardinal, who were coming off a blowout loss to Kansas State in Week 1.
Los Angeles Times columnist Brady McCollough wrote on Sunday that the USC administration has to act boldly and move on from Helton.

Thought that name looked familiar. That being said, I don't think that's really that bad a take. Top 15 team losing by 2 TDs to an unranked team that just lost by 3+ TDs to another unranked team is not a good look, even if the transitive property never truly hold up
Apparently it was a persuasive argument because USC just whacked Helton.

I mean what I said is true, even if it's a bit of a dig at us, I don't care about the subtle dig, it wasn't like the rant and ravings of that miami guy 9 years ago when we just obliterated them, we were at least slated to be a really good team. This year I don't blame people for thinking we're middle of the pack, we kinda are (defense upper level though).
It's def hasty on USC's end but I mean, but I mean if a #14 A&M let's say just got throttled by Tennessee after they were being throttled by like Colorado or something you'd be asking some questions too. USC is too quick with the trigger but I mean we did render Stanford impotent by us. Seems like you got some soul searching a program if that happens.

USC firing Helton didn't have anything to do with K-State or Stanford. If Stanford beat Clemson week one then beat the hell out of USC Helton would have gotten fired today. If USC beat Wisconsin last week ave get their assess kicked by Utah this week Helton would have gotten fired.
They fired dude week 2 because they needed confirmation of what they already had an idea about and that is Helton isn't the guy to get them where they feel like they need to be.
It doesn't matter who Stanford played week one and it's stupid to bring it up, the point is they are clearly better than USC. The Trojans are just an average football team.

It’s unclear whether LSU will have an actual quarterback available to play the role in this one. Most of its coaches have been lame ducks since mid-October. Its two best defensive players opted out. Many others are injured. … Of course the Tigers will win.

I think his problems at Nebraska were a combination of awful oline play, poor rb support, and poor coaching; especially in late game situations. I think if we can avoid needing him to be the hero at the end of games and scheme routes to his strengths he'll perform better than Skylar. Having a revamped offensive system will help a lot too.

Where did the nickname Neek come from? I randomly met him at a tailgate maybe 4 years ago.I want to say that’s just always been his twitter handle but could be wrong.

DUMP: LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Kansas State (33). It’s in the Little Apple, which is a bad place to start. And the castle-like structure added on to one side only reinforces the fact that the rest of the stadium is quite ordinary.

He was basically bragging about going to Puerto Rico and the Dominican to look at the hurricane damage as a gesture of good will (why the NYC mayor does that is beyond me) and then says basically what he says, it matters more cause it's NYC and it's recognizable and Kansas isn't. It's such a douchey ass nonsensical thing to say.

NYC is about 17% Puerto Rican and Dominican. May be higher post-Maria. Its probably the largest mainland concentration of boricuas.

OK, fair, it just seems weird for a mayor of a city to visit countries/commonwealths like a president would. Regardless it was a unnecessary shot for no reason while bragging that you went to do something. It's not like Laura Kelly was pimpng she went down there and was wondering where the NYC mayor was the whole time and that was his response

For sure it was a clumsy and needless throwaway statement to make. If he wanted a contrast, he could have chosen Texas or Florida and gotten some mileage out of it from his base, rather than the entire "WTF...Kansas?!?" reaction he did get.

What the eff are y'all droning on about? The context was that someone asked him about the controversy about an undefeated Kansas not being ranked in the top 25 while a K-State team, who lost to Tulane is. He said "Kansas doesn't have a brand." He went on to say "the powercat is world renown," but that was cut by the daily caller.
I feel pretty confident that whatever you are talking about is not what they were discussing which was the state of Kansas catching a stray from the Mayor of New York.

From the short clip I don’t understand what there is to be upset about. I don’t even know what kind of “brand” you would associate with Kansas that isn’t negative. I’d say the state is almost famously neutral (though lacking in diversity), which is probably what prompted the comment. If you want to be part of a brand, move to Missouri and be part of the meth and racism clan.

lol, you're kidding right? about being upset about itI'm upset I wasn't able to participate in the discourse! I haven't been able to watch the clips but based on what I know about my mayor, I'm guessing it will be very silly and should not be taken seriously in any way.

when i go to ncaaf on espn, there is nothing about the game. you go to reddit cfb, it's the top post
ngl it's odd how quiet espn has been about the game on it's site, esp since we just signed more contracts with them

Accurate.
I thought a lot of the discourse was insincere. It was a lot of, I don't really love my wife but I'll be damned if I let you say anything about her. The lack of pride in Kansas by Kansans is something that has always bothered me. It took the cocky lib from NYC to finally get Kansans, specifically western kansans and wichitans to get all chesty.

I'm not sure that's how it works at all, particularly with West Virginia coming off of a win.

it's a self fulfilling prophecy because nobody will watch our game on ESPN+, which sucks. but i'm curious if our game would actually do worse than Tech vs ISU in that time slot on FS1. our game at least has a ranked team involved.It would not.
You guys act surprised that OU and OSU are bigger brands than us.I don't think anyone was under any illusion that bedlam was going to be on +, that game this year as the Saturday night ABC national game is shocking, check the mentions of the tweet, even OU and OSU.

Baylor TCU on Big Noon Saturday isn't a shock because they've made the choice to put real shitty games in that slot, all season. Seven of the ten games they've have been blowouts. They've only had 2 games with a ranked team against another ranked team.

Impossible, the game is indoors, our kicker is nails on everything inside of 75 yards.I saw a blurb on ESPN saying the matchup was extremely close on paper, but threw out that TCU had the more reliable placekicker. :lol:
