I can see Missouri winning the North and Texas/Oklahoma as the two best teams in the South. I can see Kansas taking a fall from last year. I think they're overly optimistic about Nebraska and A&M.
But do they realistically think 10 out of 12 conference teams will be bowl eligible? Unless every team goes undefeated in non-conference play, it's almost mathematically impossible.
To answer your question, I think Scout is full of **** when they say that Nebraska and K-State are going to have those kinds of records. Nebraska could end up being bowl eligible, but they were horrible last year and are in the beginning stages of transitioning to an old and antiquated system. K-State is just a flat-out joke and all the JUCOs that they brought in are just more proof of that. Colorado is MUCH better than both of those two schools and will finish with a better record than any of them. Here's how I see it playing out (at best):
Colorado: 8-4 (and I think they'll go 8-4)
Nebraska: 7-5 (more like 6-6)
K-State: 6-6 (5-7 if they're lucky)
You can throw aTm into this mix as well, as 8-4 would be a miracle season for them (considering the new coach and all). By the time you take a REALISTIC look at these schools, you are left with 7-8 bowl teams.
