2023 Dr pepper still in reach?

The correct answer to our best win is actually Troy, which will be 11-2 after winning the Sun Belt title on Saturday with their only other loss by 2 points to James Madison. Pretty decent chance they'll finish 12-2 and in the top 25.

forgot about that one but I think KU on the road might be better (bonus for rivalry game)

I'm with Rusty here

ku was playing their third string qb.  so while we should all be happy that we won, it was not a good win.

Daniels has yet to play half a season and Bean owns KU’s best wins, so calling him a second stringer is a bit disingenuous.

Bean was dressed for the game. The coaches made the decision that Ballard gave them a better shot to win, and they were probably right.

I think Bean was on the Reggie Ray concussions countdown like in that Not Another Teen Movie (2001) filme

As someone who lived through the Kody Cook Experience, I'm really tired of this "third string quarterback" talking point. If I was a Hawk fan, I would be very embarrassed by this.

+1 pt for a good win
0 pts for a neutral win or loss
-1 pt for a bad loss

@KU was a good win, vs ISU was a bad loss. All other games were neutral imo.

What’s odd is that every loss was quite excruciating, and nearly every win was an absolute blowout.

You’re the one being disingenuous by just making stuff up

[mocat]

Ends up this is a totally forgettable season filled with bad losses and zero good wins.

Oh well

There's no way this is serious, right?

i wouldn't say the season was filled with bad losses. they dominated 7 games, and went 1-4 in one score games against decent teams. maybe by "bad" lib meant "painful" or something.

as for the wins, if you want to hang your hat on beating Troy and/or Kansas as wins we will look back fondly on 2023, you might be alone there but i certainly won't stop you.

[catastrophe]

Yeah I read “bad” in that context to be painful/should have won.

With the exception of ISU, all our losses came down to the final possession against top 25 teams. Call it unlucky or just coming up short but there’s nothing truly “bad” about it.

If this were basketball, I’d feel pretty good about this team making a deep postseason run. There’s just no room for error in CFB.

[CHONGS]

Say what bowl are we looking at now?  Something gross like Liberty or Texas?

[DaBigTrain]

I've been hearing a lot that the pop tarts bowl is where we are going. I wanted to go but idk if I will if it's in Orlando.

[mocat]

pop tarts bowl vs ND / nc state / miami would completely rule

[wetwillie]

Especially if it's AJ first career start.

[MakeItRain]

The Pop Tarts rep was in Manhattan 4 times and sat in on Klieman's post game press conference

[DaBigTrain]

I was looking at tickets and they aren't bad from TX but the timing is bad if I'm gonna be back in KS for Christmas, because tickets are ridiculous out of KC to Florida this time of year.

[CHONGS]

Pop tart would be great.  I was worried a loss would knock us back in the pecking order ( or does that even matter anymore)...

i think to the rest of the world we are indistinguishable from iowa state

[pissclams]

i’m praying for pop tarts

a texas bowl game against a&m is of no interest to me and i’d probably not even watch. 

i really don’t care about any bowls.  there was a time, sure, that I couldn’t wait until the bowl announcement show, but that’s not the case anymore.  i wonder what happened?  the big 12’s shitty bowl agreements maybe killed it.  idk.

still praying for pop tarts but worried this loss will punish us
do we deserve to tart? at this point i’d say maybe.

To the world, yes. To someone who has paid attention to college football the last 10-20 years, no way.

No, that doesn't matter and hasn't for some time. Remember K-State, Iowa State and the Cheez-It Bowl?

I think the losing team should get to have the crust

[BIG APPLE CAT]

Didn’t Iowa state get selected over us a couple years ago bc their AD like promised they would sell their allotment and then some?

Like we had the better record and it was the better bowl, but we were still far enough down on the ladder that the bowls could opt for whomstever they wanted to invite?

I just remember feeling very that a bowl could choose between us and Iowa state and they took Iowa state on purpose

[MadCat]

I don't think anything quite felt as bad as bowl selection in 1998
