I would think it would depend who the nine wins are against. A win against OSU or KU would probably get us in at 9-9. A road win against either would be huge, not that that is going to happen.
But if we get swept by KU, OSU and flood aggies, there's now way we finish 9-9. Cats will probably beat someone they shouldn't on the road (OU, Texas, Baylor) but will likely get upended by someone at home, too. Too many freshmen to be consistent.
