The Expectations Game Week 2

[purplehaze]

I see the final Big 12 standings as follows:

1. KSU (8-1)
2. Texas (7-2)
2. OU (7-2)
4. OSU (6-3)
5. Baylor (5-4)
5. West Virginia (5-4)
7. TCU (4-5)
8. Texas Tech (3-6)
9. ISU (1-8)
10. KU (0-9)

I'd switch ISU/Tech and OSU/WVU

I can't read this thread. I'm getting way too anxious about the season.

+1

I believe every year that we will win every game, until we lose a game. Then I go right back to thinking we will win all of our remaining games. and so on.

+1, but this year, we ARE going to win every effn' one of them.

if you win a ton of close games and then improve, you win a ton of games

Lol. This post should get some love. Pretty much sums it up.

I don't think anybody is making K-State a contender just because of the Miami game. It has a whole lot more to do with K-State being a top 10 team last season and returning 16 starters.

Agreed...but to ignore the result entirely based on LAST YEARS results is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)

Also, if you apply his (flawed) logic overall...wouldn't 'things balancing out' mean we are on pace to beat OU 58-17?

Well, I would agree that as a whole, if you play a ton of really close games, you aren't going to win them all, though the better team will usually still win. I still can't figure out why these guys think all of our games will be close like they were last year, though. Miami was a close game last year and we just beat them by a couple thousand points. It seems pretty obvious to me that this team is much better offensively than last year's team and at least as good defensively.
