If the team finishes 10-2 this year it will (most likely) be the best team LHC LHC LHC Bill Snyder has ever coached.  Yes even better than 1998 or 2003 teams.

Hell finishing 9-3 might be better too, depending on who we beat.

Good stuff in this thread Chingon.

In case anyone cares, it seems the most ranked teams we have beat in a regular season is 3. (1998)

Is that using teams that were ranked after the season, or ranked when we actually played them?

good point, my source says at the time of the game.  Don't think it will be much different for end of the year though.  Might be worse even.

So, would you call 1997 Snyder's best team ever?
Maybe, they beat only 2 ranked teams in the regular season though (MU and A&M both in the 20s at the end of the year).

Who are the losses?  @OU, @WVU?  Maybe UT, @TCU (although I think we can get that one)

I see Tech as a gimmie.

I can't see UT as a loss. They could be fielding their best team ever and I physically could not admit to the possibility of losing to UT at this point.

TCU seems like a winnable game. OU and WVU are super scary.

I agree on Tech.

ku 2006 and 2007 regular seasons 1 game against a Final Top 25 team is a fantasy we're never going to get to live.

(ku obvs)

man what a tough schedule left.  I don't think we've ever had as tough a conference schedule. Finishing 5-4 would be very good.

I agree, this is a crazy tough schedule....would be pleased with 5-4, and any else is gravy.

Kansas  = win
Iowa St., Tech, OSU, TCU, Baylor = 3 wins
#6 OU, #8 WVU, #12 Texas = 1 win

5-4; imo would be  :emawkid:

God damn guys, I am just not ready to  :emawkid: to an 8-4 season. Ok State at home, and Baylor on the road are easier games this year than Ok State on the road and Baylor at home were last year, TCU is not scary, we aren't losing to Tech at home, and we own texas. @WVU, @OU will probably be beat downs but c'mon guys. 9-3 should be the threshold to be happy.

You can't really think 60~70% of the conference is gimmes and that the Big XII is a good conference.  That is if you like to think logically.

i'm not sold on wv being a complete loss yet.  need to wait and see them play against better competition...defense might be sketchy.

@ou is a loss.  texas and west virginia are probably 65/35 in their favor.  osu/baylor/tech/isu/tcu seem like 60/40 in emaw's favor.
