What I like about studs and duds is that it is both very funny but also highlights the fact that many sportswriters are absolute buffoons who wield way too much power.

They are the grifters of the sports world. No different, just less important stakes.

Yeah and people are pretty good at doing it tongue in cheek and acknowledging that while we're a little bit serious (how do you rank OU ahead of us right now?), we're mostly being silly gooses.

Honestly, I don't see any reason we should be ranked (other than me liking KSU of course).  We were a historically bad football team at the end of last year.

I think, just maybe, we'll be a top 50 team this year though!  :crossfingers:

if memory serves, we didn't win a single game the last 2 months of the season so yeah i'm not sure why we would warrant a whole lot of respect at the moment

This is 100% horseshit I'm glad to see in the replies that people aren't having it.

The statement itself is incredibly dumb.  "These programs struggle with recruiting.  Makes you wonder if they're going to struggle at recruiting without OU and UT."

If I were not so lazy I'd go back and catalog the # of schools that land top 250 recruits and what percent of the top 250 their class is.  I'd also run it with just the top 50 or so as well.
Long story short the top kids are picking from the same top schools every damn year and it's making recruiting pretty boring IMO.

Sure, I'd change that to being undefeated going vs Okie State but agreed, earliest we could be ranked is going into okie state anyways so, oh well

Stanford is a way bigger name than K-State. 99% of the CFB country that saw the score asked if Stanford is down before thinking K-State is good.

Cats have a lot more to prove.

5 BCS appearances in the last 12 years. They’ve been down the last few years and it’s what National folks think of first. If they weren’t on the CFB forgotten coast it wouldn’t even be close.

Since 2012, I feel like every time we get within the top 25 things start falling apart, so I’m not in any rush here.

ESPN is putting it to the Big XII today.  Five teams are on ESPN+.  They are going to make sure our viewing numbers are low today, and we may see this during the rest of the season.  They are going eff up our network numbers so our contract may be lowballed.

Five Big 12 teams were on espn plus because big 12 teams played a crap load of fcs teams and our contract dictates that each school play one game on there. Could be worse, you could be OU playing games on pay per view
