ChERNOBYL

[Rage Against the McKee]

Nevada is worth a crap.

Hey now, I'm just going off ChERNOBYL rankings. They're our 4th best win at 74

I think beating anyone with Will Howard at QB has to count for something.

[PurpleOil]

I really hope we score more than 30 against that joke of a team. Hell, even Will Howard got us to 55 last year.

Projecting out the rest of the year (pre bowl season):

[ChiComCat]

Is the OU/Baylor thing due to the Dr Pepper?

Yeah, it has a split.  Baylor wins regular season and OU the championship game.

Chernobyl loves the crap out of the cats wow.   Also William Howard had to face the big 12’s best defense on the road, this poor bastard has had some tough luck haha.

[mocat]

big game for oSu this weekend

Not as much as it loves the Big 10. Christ alive, talk about grossly overrated.

Would very much take this outcome

[Shooter Jones]

In what world would anyone have Notre Dame 6 w/ Cincy 7.

Computers, man.

[CHONGS]

Week 10:

I don't see Cinci having the juice to move up much more in my rating system.

Poor Nebraska.  Just the unluckiest team I've seen in a while (but is it bad luck or the fact that they make catastrophic mistakes during critical times?)


On the flip side, Oklahoma (and Oklahoma State) are both getting better results than the offense and defense numbers would suggest:






Cats are on the cusp of the Top 25.  A win against WVU might be the difference between a successful and failed season.

[CHONGS]

Week 11 pix:

A nail-biter for the Cats at home, but I suspect we pull away by more.  Will Baylor hand OU it's first loss of the season this week?

(There's something funked up with Toledo betting listed twice, but I didn't care enough to fix it).

[CHONGS]

Projecting out the rest of the year (with Week 10 updates):



With the update, it has the Cats now losing to Baylor (barely --- 22-21).

[wetwillie]

8-4 would be really solid, 9-3 would be Herculean.

I think that's a fairly fair statement. At least in my mind if we win vs WV and then lose vs Baylor and Texas I'm not going to really be upset, and feel like while it was a season of some missed opportunities we beat teams we should beat, lost against those who were better, got lucky in some spots, and unlucky in others.

I'd still like to think we can pull off 8-4 somehow, I don't think Baylor nor Texas are unwinnable and especially being at home v Baylor and Texas looking like they are doing their normal collapse it could be in play to steal one of those games.

9-3 feels like it right now but i would be tap dancingly happy if we did it. Like, we can make another Texas State Champs shirt again if we pull it off, but I'd give it like a 10% chance of happening

Yes, 9-3 is doable, but will be a fight to get to. However, all 3 teams left on the schedule are very beatable if we bring our A game.

Texas once seemed like an insurmountable task. If they keep losing they'll likely have given up on Sark and each other by our game. Could be the easiest game left on the schedule now.

wishful thinking, it will be most difficult game by far. a "given up" team still has Bijan Robinson who can just absolutely destroy us

Woof. Just checked their schedule. They faced basically the same murderers row we did, except they threw @Baylor into the mix. They'll get right vs KU and WVU just in time for senior day vs our Cats!! hooray!!

[Rage Against the McKee]

Baylor is better than Texas. They aren't a lot better, but they are clearly the better team.

I disagree. Texas is the guy who just got fired from his job, and the cats will be the dog he comes home and kicks.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Maybe we will be the dog that comes up to him and pees on him while he's sitting on the curb crying.

But seriously, senior day in Austin... it'll all depend on whether the Texas team holds together or not. I don't know if we have the defense necessary to stop Bijan Robinson.
