Kansas State Football / Re: Big 12's Top 25 Players

Just my guess on what ESPN goes: 1. J-Johnson, 2. D-Train, 3. Gabbert, 4. Laptad?

Gotta be top 3, if not #1.  No bigtime qb at ut, ou, or ttu, like most years.

All the major running backs are already ranked. The only WR I don't see on the list is Broyles from OU. And you'd assume Johnson and Gabbert are the two QB's left on the list. I'd rank Thomas ahead of all three of those players, so he better be in the top-3.

I am so excited about this upcoming season. And really, that alone is an improvement over the RP era. I'm so pumped for what our team could do on the field, but the quarterback position is such a question mark. I just don't see how Carson Coffman will be a passable quarterback in Big 12 play if he is our starter. With that said, here's what I think about our schedule:

Sept. 4 - UCLA (LOSS)
Sept. 11 - Missouri State (WIN)
Sept. 18 - #Iowa State (WIN)
Sept. 25 - Central Florida (WIN)
Oct. 7 - Nebraska (LOSS)
Oct. 14 - @Kansas (WIN)
Oct. 23 - @Baylor (LOSS)
Oct. 30 - Oklahoma State (WIN)
Nov. 6 - Texas (LOSS)
Nov. 13 - @Missouri (LOSS)
Nov. 20 - @Colorado (WIN)
Nov. 27 - @North Texas (WIN)

Let's hope Coffman, or whoever wins the quarterback job, takes the UCLA game as a learning experience. As good as the D-Train is, I don't think we can defeat a likely top-40 team in the country in the first game of the season with our quarterback situation. If we win that game, it could make for a great start to the season. To keep our bowl hopes alive, we need to come away with two wins from the @KU/@BU/OSU/UT stretch. That would likely give us a 5-5 record entering the final two games of the season, which I think are very winnable. I'll say 7-5 for now, which I still think is pretty optimistic. I say the low-end is 5 wins and the high-end is 9 wins. Pretty much what this season boils down to is having gimme's in Missouri State and North Texas; all we have to do is find four wins in between those games to reach a bowl game.
