I'm afraid they've pretty much reached it. They're due. RT @SilentAssassinM: Ceiling for Kansas State?

We're due for what? A loss? 10 losses? 17 losses? :ohno:

Maybe just one or two really embarrassing ones?   :dunno:

Yeah, if we hit a TCU, ISU, WVU trifecta we could be done.

I don't think losing @ WVU is even worth a mini-meltdown.  They're due too (for a W).  Just snooze through the confy season, going .500 would still get us in the dance.

Lunardi has K-State at a 9 seed and the Big 12 with 5 (2-KU, 8-BU, 8-OSU, 11-OU) in the dance.

Agreed. My question is does anyone think we can actually EXCEED expectations and do 12-6 or 13-5?

My answer is: #18 ranked teams are supposed to take care of biz at home and win some on the road. EXPECT 13-5.

13-5 would be amazing.   I think 11-7 is probably the likely outcome.

thanks sunny, gotta say it feels great to have nailed lunardi's conf week 1.  this never happens to me.  i've been doing this stuff for like 10 years and every time it seems like i'm +1 or -1 or maybe even have the wrong teams selected.  not this time though.  so anyway, i went ahead and cracked a beer and sat on my patio last night and kind of just soaked it in, you know?  some people are probably pretty pissed that i absolutely nailed this and i kinda get where they are coming from.

the good news is that now i've established the fact that i can nail this crap to the wall with little to no effort.  so recognize, son.

with today's wvu and tech games included, the bottom four teams are 3-31 against the top 6 teams.  thanks for turning a three bid league into a five bid league, bottom four.

it is really the only value that the garbage teams we let in the league have at this point, the willingness and ability to lose when expected to.

Thankfully for us it looks like Baylor has packed it up.

Yeah, instead of bottom 4/top 6 the differential may as well be lower half/upper half.

good day for the bottom feeders as tcu holds off ou and bu defeats ku.  the bottom five finish up 7-43 against the top five.  a historic lack of parity for this brave new big 12 conference.
