Individually, each one of those games looks winnable. But all together?  No, we will not win all six. I mean, just look at the math.

Odds of beating:
WVU 65%
ISU 75%
Tech 50%
TCU 65%
OU 50%
KU 80%

I created these percentages out of thin air. I assumed (and I don't necessarily think it's true) that we have at least a 50/50 chance in every game. I tried to be optimistic in the odds for the rest of the games.

Given these percentages, the likelihood that we win out is about 6%. SIX percent guys. It's not going to happen.

We can still win enough to make a bowl game. It's a long shot, but it is doable. The four games that I think are most winnable are WVU, ISU, TCU, KU. The odds we win all four is about 25%. Not a great chance, but it's possible.

50/50 chance...no crap. any team has a 50/50 chance in any game....either you win or you don't.

 :ROFL: at KU having a 50/50 chance in any of their remaining games.

sorta like saying "there's a 80% chance of rain." wrong, it's 50%, either it's going to rain or it's not.

Really strange thinking coming from a self-professed professional gambler.  :sdeek:

I'm just not the type of guy to just say that because I don't know if people will just think I'm just saying that. But when I heard my teammates saying that, I felt like we could do that."

Here's what my cyber tooth 2000 computed:

WVU 100%
ISU 100%
Tech79%
TCU 100%
OU 83%
KU "PC LOAD LETTER does not compute the improbability of ku winning game"

Overall chance of winning out: 100%

Pretty sure you are simply referring to the fact that all probabilities must add up to 1 (100%). Since we are talking about neither soccer nor the NFL, it is 100% likely that K-State will either win or lose each of its remaining games. Doesn't mean the odds of the Cats winning each individual game are 50/50.

Edit: if I am wrong please PM me ASAP so I can start buying lottery tickets right meow.

Amen.  I suppose Timmy is single handedly keeping the state of kansas government well funded.  Who wouldn't buy a crap ton of lottery tickets?  50/50 right?

If we finished 9-4 I'd have us picked for 2nd in the 2014 Big 12/top 15 nationally with an eye toward being NC contenders in '15.
