I, Saulbadguy, guarantee us at least a share of the conference title this football season.
Where did you get that overnight bag?

The floodaggy's really want to beat us this year. Like really badly. That kind of scares me.

as chingon mentioned, this schedule is the hardest bill has ever faced. hard to fathom getting through it but, man, maybe. WVU has a pretty pud schedule the rest of the way. their only road games of any substance are @TX and @OSU. They get us, OU, TCU and Baylor at home.

Everyone cheer your taints off for Baylor tonight.

Midnight Yell practice?

Or tomorrow.  Both is better.

Also, a bunch of other people picked coal aggy in the elimination pool 'clams and I are in, so I am enthusiastically and properly doing the bear claw thing over the next 2 days.

I think that we have by far the easiest remaining schedule in the Big 12. We just don't have any difficult road games left. All of our toughest games are at home. If we are truly a title contender, our schedule sets up perfectly.

guys, wvu is not very good.  I keep saying this but no one listens.

No one listens because its a bad take.  They very well may be overrated, not sure how they didn't get wide media criticism after that performance against Maryland, but overrated is far far far from "not good," they are undoubtedly good.

WVU has an inexplicable loss at least once a year.  I don't see why Iowa State can't be Syracuse.

So was Miami, and we played them close.  Look how that game went this year.

that doesn't speak to how good they are though.  99% of all college football teams will lose a game to an inferior opponent, that's sports.

Yeah, I mean they are good enough to finish the year with 7 or 8 wins, but they just aren't any better than that.

Like, I know this is true, but the only place I've seen this printed is here on goemawdotcom. Is there some chatter on isu boards?

 :confused:

Point is that ISU wasn't very good last year yet they managed to beat the best team in conference at home.

Paul Rhodes has won 10 games as an underdog at ISU.

No. Look at the schedule. I like our chances on the road at ISU, WVU, and Baylor much more than I would like them at OSU, Texas, and Tech. The only possible way to make our schedule easier would be to play WVU at home and KU on the road. Our schedule would suck if we were some crappy team hoping to win 6 games and get bowl eligible, but for a championship contender, it's perfect.

You think they will only win 4 conference games?

ok, now throw out ISU (or keep them, we do go there) and add the number 14 team in the country

I thought you were implying that even though they were crappy last year they still played us close so that means we should expect it again this season.  Of course Rhodes has a lot of underdog wins, ISU is an underdog in every game that isn't played against KU or a directional school.

I think they will win 5. They will lose to KSU, OSU, Texas, and OU. It's also sort of likely that somebody else gets them, too.

I don't think TCU is as good as OSU, Texas, or Tech. I'm not saying our schedule is easy, but everyone plays the same round robin, and I'd rather play the best teams at home. I wouldn't trade our Big 12 schedule with anyone else's.

The schedule is really tough, but its tough for every team. I'm guessing the champ will have a least 1 loss, and a two or three team tie at 7-2 may be likely.

You guys are setting up the meltdown by not giving these teams the proper due.  Did you see that game last night.  Washington was completely out manned by Stanford.  UW couldn't do a damn thing with the ball, yet they managed to find a way to win at home.  We're a damn good football but we are not good enough & our opponents aren't bad enough to start counting wins.  Alabama can, they are good and their schedule is awful.

This is absurd, WVU plays every ranked B12 team at home other than TX. They are also one of the half of the conference that only has 4 conference road games. alternatively, we only get 1 ranked conference opponent at home and play 5 conference road games. 60% of the conference is ranked.

It's looking like they are going to play one team during the regular season that will finish ranked (LSU).  Must be nice to miss out on the three best teams in the other division and get a ton of credit for being the first team to expose Michigan and trample an overrated Big Ten team.  Their divisional draw is the equivalent of 2007 KU missing Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech, except the SEC is a bunch of pussies and only plays eight conference games despite having 14 teams so they miss even more teams.
