Stud Journalist Ubben Weighs In On Stud Cats And Rest Of Pud Conference

[Boom Roasted]

2. Kansas State Wildcats



The Wildcats began the season ranked 22nd in the AP poll. They were very impressive in a 52-13 win against Miami, but it was a 24-19 victory at Oklahoma that really turned the heads of voters. K-State was the first ranked team to beat the Sooners in Norman under Bob Stoops, and the Wildcats did it in typical LHC Bill Snyder fashion, with a superior running game and a plus-three turnover margin.



There is one major hurdle looming on the Cats' path to a potential undefeated season -- an Oct. 20 visit to West Virginia. That's not to say that road trips to TCU and Baylor, or home dates with the Texas Tech Red Raiders, Oklahoma State Cowboys and Texas Longhorns, will be easy. But from a KSU perspective, that road sure looks more manageable than it did one month ago.



The Wildcats also benefit from their conference, the Big 12, which has a sparkling 26-3 record in nonleague play, which will give KSU a BCS boost. And if Miami can make some noise in the ACC, that would further bolster Kansas State's national championship résumé

Not Ubben but good stuff

Is there a number 2 next to our name because that's where he ranks us in the nation, the Big 12, or are we just the second team he wanted to talk about?

That isn't an Ubben article. Not sure what it is doing in the Stud Journalist Ubben thread.

ubben is such a stud

I'd like to thank Kansas for screwing the entire conference with their two pathetic losses.

[Boom Roasted]

the 2 is for the team that has been most helped in the BCS race.

Obviously this wasn't Ubben but I wasnt going to make a "some other jackoff from ESPN that is giving the Cats love in the only article he writes this week" thread.

[DQ12]

Davestud Studben has the Cats ranked 1 in his conference power rankings, and had the cats  only behind Geno Smith in the "Best of September" category:

Plus he studded out and wrote this this morning:

The Wildcats are the most impressive team in the Big 12 through the first month. There's still a lot of football left to be played, but K-State has a blowout win over Miami on its résumé and went to Oklahoma and became the first ranked team to ever beat Bob Stoops in Norman. The old silver fox in Manhattan with his name on the stadium has still got it.

[pissclams]

yup, complete stud journalism confirmed

Ubbs, If WVU beats Texas by 14+ points...do they leap frog K State in the national polls...and more imprtantly in your Big-12 Power Poll, do they become #1?

Oh, most definitely. Whoever wins that game is the new No. 1. They'll have a better resume than K-State.

So the loser of the WVU/TX game is automatically way better than OU is at home? I think that is what he is implying.

Saw it. Pissed me off. Want someone to make a "fighting you" thread for Ubben.

[Legit Elite]

I really don't mind this so much though. Makes me think Ubben is stoking the fire for the KSU/WVU game. That game has the potential to be the most epic game this year.

Heisman #1 vs #2. Who wants the hardware? Meanwhile:

No. 7 Kansas State 44, Kansas 17: Nobody is taking this game more seriously than LHC Bill Snyder. The man gets his teams ready for Kansas. Ron Prince never beat the Jayhawks. Snyder, meanwhile, is 16-4 against his in-state rival, including two of the most complete beatdowns the Turner Gill-coached Jayhawks ever received. Snyder gets his guys up for this game, and Collin Klein takes care of business against an improving KU defense.

Ubben just said that the big 12 title runs though Morgantown.

It does, when we play there.

[slobber]

Ubben just said that the big 12 title runs though Morgantown.


 

What if he meant that KSU is the Big 12 Title, and we are going to run through Morgantown?

[MadCat]

Doesn't he know that the Big XII title runs through every town but Lawrence, Lubbock, Stillwater, and Austin?

[pissclams]

Yeah, well there are two undefeated teams left in the conference and they play each other in Morgantown so I guess what I'm getting at is, oh never mind i forgot who i'm talking to.

[MixBerryCrunch]

Someone explain to me how a win over UT is better than OU. 
















Ubben, such a stud.

[slobber]

Ubben, such a stud.

He even has OU ranked 3rd and TX ranked 4th. His logic is not logical?

[steve dave]

well, WVU's Baylor win is a lot better than our KU win

[GoodForAnother]

Ubben, such a stud.

it isn't, but it was more recent.  also they played baylor instead of ku.  resumes are pretty close at this point.
