Title: Ranking 2017's games in order of difficulty:
Post by: cas4ksu on August 16, 2017, 01:52:32 PM
How do you see them? Here's my order:

1. @OSU
2. OU
3. @UT

4. TCU
5. WVU
6. @TTU
7. @Vandy
8. BU
9. ISU

10. @KU
11. Central Arky
12. Charlotte

The first tier of games are far and away the toughest IMO. We'll probably be a touchdown or so underdogs to each of the Oklahoma schools and pretty much a pick 'em against UT.

The second tier games I feel pretty good about. TCU could be improved this year. The Hoopies could be tough. Always get a little nervous with Tech on the road. We've had some trouble with there in the past. Vandy on the road early could be a little test. Baylor under a new regime.. who knows? ISU plays us tough always. They got bumped to the second tier due to their number of near misses.

Third tier of games are simple, no-brainers that you can put in the win column. No discussion needed.

What say you?

Everything I have seen mentions that every time they have had a bad season under Patterson they turn around and have a double digit win season the next year.

Baylor will be lucky to go bowling. Very few returning starters. And TCU might bounce back well historically but they had good qb play then. They don't now.

Everything I have seen mentions that every time they have had a bad season under Patterson they turn around and have a double digit win season the next year.

Meh. Gary is 25-20 in Big 12 games. Went 7-6 in TCU's first year as a member of the Big 12. Followed it up with 4-8. So another disappointing season wouldn't be a shocker. Kenny Hill is not Trevone Boykin. Their defensive S&P has been declining for the last couple seasons. I think 6-6, give or take a game, is a lot more probable than that 12-1 they pulled out a couple years ago.

Any chance he has another couple bad seasons and jumps ship (gets fired) to come be KSU's head coach / would we even want him?

Who would want a mediocre coach from the same conference?

It wasn't long ago that many saw Gary as the best chance we had going forward. It is interesting what a few bad years can do to our perception of a coach's ability.

I'm still hoping for the dream scenario where Saban gets tired of winning "the easy way" and decides KState is just enough of a challenge to whet his appetite until he retires.

I'll take my victory lap now. I said the increased exposure of being in a P5 conference would expose him as an overrated weirdo.
