Kansas State Football / Re: The Tre Walker Thread

« on: October 29, 2012, 03:43:03 PM »

It didn't seem like Tre's injury was that bad. DON'T RIP ME but when I used to play ball with him a couple years back he was a bit of a girl about any kind of contact. Undoubtedly he's toughened up since, but he could easily overreact to a sprain. He's just kind of emotional like that.  Take it for what it's worth.

It looked like every other ACL tear you would see.  Planted hard and a little awkward, no noticeable movement or catastrophic failure, fall to the ground and grab the OUTSIDE of the knee.  I called an ACL tear as soon as they replayed it.

I'll admit I have no idea what the computer algorithms are, but I'm looking at some of the actual computer rankings and I have a hard time seeing Oregon move up in all of them to pass KSU, ND, and Bama.  Everyone knows they are behind us, but in some there have some decent sized gaps to make up in the individual computers rankings.

• Sagarin: 1. KSU 99.78, 2. ND 97.30.....8. Oregon 90.78 (this is already Oregon's toss-out low)
• Colley: 1. ND 1.01, 2. Bama .96, 3. KSU .95...5. Oregon .89
• Wolfe: 1. KSU 9.96, 2. ND 9.85, 3. Bama 9.34...5. Oregon 8.83
• Anderson: 1. KSU .843, 2. ND .838...3. Bama .814 4. Oregon .802
• Billingsly: 1. Bama 320.4, 2. ND 320.2, 3. KSU 318.7.... 4. Oregon 306.9

 

I'm sure they'll catch up in 2-3, but that is alot of ground to make up if they want to pass enough people in all 5 to catch up in the computers.

They don't need to catch us in any of the computer rankings, they need to:

1) Pass Florida if they lose (they trail florida in 5 computers)
2) Pass LSU in one computer when they lose (if LSU doesn't lose this obv. takes care of itself).
3) Pick up some first place votes if Bama falters or having voters put them at #2 instead of KSU.

It can happen.

Assuming the human polls stay the same (a wildcard at best) Oregon needs to be (on average) ONE spot lower than us in the computer polls.  This is AFTER they kick out the top and bottom ranking.  If they average one spot lower, they jump us.

This guy "gets it"

http://bcsguru.blogspot.com/2012/10/odds-are-itll-be-bama-vs-k-state.html

Kansas State: The Wildcats are tied with Notre Dame atop the computer rankings and have made up considerable ground on Oregon in both polls. K-State will benefit from playing potentially two more ranked teams this season (Oklahoma State and Texas) and the absence of a Big 12 title game probably won't hurt too much. Ideally, the Wildcats will want the Irish to also finish undefeated, thus providing a buffer in the computer ratings to hold off Oregon. (75%)

the above is also why we want OU to win out, we need ND to stay ahead of Oregon in the computers.

I've been thinking/worrying...something that MAY hurt us...again, no idea how these damn computers work, but if Bama would pass us up in some polls because of their title game, that would be bad.

The other thing getting lost is that the actual # ranking is only relevant in the computer polls.  In the human polls, it's not the "number" you are ranked, it's the percentage of points you get...and that's what is helping us out tremendously.

"weaker finishing kick than the Irish"... OMG...LMAO.  That tells you all you need to know about whoever wrote that.

Without losing it will be difficult for anyone to pass us.

Don't be surprised if Florida stays ahead of Oregon in a few of the computer polls (they are currently ahead of them in 4 of the 6 polls).  FL has a solid next 4 games (Mizz, ULL, Jacksonville State, FSU), maybe better than Oregons.  That could be a dagger in Oregons chances.

I think we all need to take another minute to go back and thank nc state. Fsu is so effing amazing in the computers...flukiest loss of any team all season imo

Florida State has the second worst computer average of any team in the top 23...or are you being sarcastic...in which case disregard.

Well here's what scares the crap out of me...Oregon actually jumped 2 places in 2 computer polls this week by beating a ONE win Colorado team.

Didn't they just pass teams that lost?

Yes...mainly florida and oregon state.  I've gone back a looked and I still think we are in pretty good shape.  We can move up in a few computer polls given our schedule and oregon looks like they could pass us in only ONE or maybe two polls.  Either way, it will be difficult for them to overtake us....I could see our computer # being .99 or at worst .98 at the end of the year....at .98 that would mean oregon would need to average a ranking of 2.5 in the computer polls to pass us (assuming the harris and coaches poll stay the same).  That would mean they would need to pass either us or alabama in at least half of the computer polls (and they are well behind us/alabama in every poll currently).  I feel a little better.

This thread is the best. I've been away from bbs since Friday morning. This has all of the collective butthurt, meltdown and optimism that I've been looking for.

The butthurt and meltdowns were premature...the Harris and Coaches poll have all but eliminated us being left out of the NC game.  The only way ND had a chance was to jump us in the human polls and the only way Oregon can jump us is if they add about 4 really good games to the end of their schedule.

Edit:  The only caveat to this is that I have no idea how an EXTRA game effects the computers.  Our schedule and Oregons schedule are very similar from here forward (Oregon's opp's have 2 more wins than our opp's)...but they do get that one additional game.

Although I have no idea what the computers are going to say, I think it's pretty safe to say that ND will easily jump Oregon this week in the BCS (i predict they will be 3rd by a decent margin over Oregon).  If we stay the same in the computer polls (again, even though we played a damn good Tech team, who knows), it is numerically impossible for ND to pass us this week in the BCS.   I can't envision a scenario (other than us losing obviously) where either ND or Oregon will jump us by years end.

We made a HUGE jump on Oregon in both the USA and the Harris polls (the gap last week was 0.0532...the gap this week is 0.0205)

...when the BCS standings come out, there will be a CANYON between Oregon and the wild wild wildcats.

Even if the Domers pass us in the computer rankings this week (but I don't think they will), there is no way they will stay there given their crap hole remaining schedule.

#3 in Harris and even got a first place vote.  I think we are in very good shape here guise. 

The only chance ND had of passing us in the BCS was this week....they are already behind us in the human polls and their computer rankings will only get worse.  From a computer standpoint, our remaining schedule matches pretty closely to Oregons.  I don't think they can make up much ground on us in the computers.

USC is 6-2.  They have beaten teams with a combined record of 16-32.  Their best win?  Washington (4-4).  They have lost to teams that are a combined 11-5.  And they are the BEST team ND has yet to play.   

ND will plummet in the computers as they continue to play cupcakes.  Our schedule is incredible compared to theirs (and on par with Oregon's).  I think we are in good shape.

Edit:  And we get a shot at yet ANOTHER top 25 team next week.  Our biggest concern should be winning out.

In his first year, Currie personally approved every expense in the athletic department. He made cutbacks, including layoffs, and restricted spending in areas such as recruiting. K-State spent more than $1.2 million on recruiting during the 2009 fiscal year. In 2011, that number was reduced to $914,411.

Texas was given assurances by its conference partners that certain allowances would be made for ND. Just like with the WVU deal, certain entities seem to not be living up to their word. Things could REALLY get interesting in the Big 12. 13 year GOR? Maybe not......
