What happens when we win the Big 12 North this year? ?

[Tre4ISU]

I have two predictions based on this thread: A 4-4 team will not win the Big 12 north and ISU will not be 4-4. Honestly with the defense we have an a pretty much totally unproven offense I can't see how anybody would think we would win the north next year.

That's what I thought until he put down what could happen to Nebraska. They could lose 4 games and we could beat them. I think it could happen. Will it? Probably not, but it could.

Maybe, but then who holds Mizzou to under 5 wins? I'm sorry but the koolaid is flowing on both ends here.

The schedule is actually quite favorable for Iowa State in the Big 12 North this season.

Mizzou potential loses this season:

at aTm
Oklahoma
at Nebby
at Texas Tech

Plus rival games against KU and KSU that are tossups. Not to mention Iowa State.

I guess there is only one thing to do. Win the whole ******* thing.

Now that you mention it, this whole conference realignment talk does kind of feel like we are the Indians in Major League. There would be no better way to stick it to the big 12 than by winning the league after being left behind. Maybe CPR should try to the motivational tool involving a cardboard cutout and removable pieces of clothing?

Just between the CFers, we should strive to pound Iowa this fall for causing this mess in the first place with the Big Ten Network and their revenue money grabbing pirates.

What if we win the NC this year? :o

A cardboard cutout of whom? Dan Beebe?

[Wesley]

We can do it. We just need to pump up to win:

A cardboard cutout of whom? Dan Beebe?

Well that's an interesting thought...I guess if it were Beebe the motivation would probably have to be changed to win OR ELSE the pieces are coming off.

You talkin' about this hunk of meat?

[heitclone]

Uh what happens after we win the big 12 north...? First they thaw hell out ,then we create our own superconference with USC and Florida, where will play a round robin or the NC every year.

[eastman]

rhodes lead us to are first win ever aganst Texas!!!!!!
as we win the north

[nileo]

I think then we'll play in the Big 12 championship game.

I've said before this years team could go anywhere from 2-10 to 7-5. It all starts w/ N.Illinios. We win that and it sets a great tone for the season, we lose and it could go downhill very very fast. I'd love to play in the Big12 title game. Realistically, I do not see it happening, but I love your optimism.

Nothing is impossible. But assess the schedules and you can see how it's a stretch.

Take Nebraska as an example (I assume NU/Mizzou are favorites to take the North).

ISU would have to beat NU for any tiebreaker (big IF)

If ISU lost to OU/UT as expected, it could probably afford only one other loss (maybe vs. TT or KSU/KU).

NU needs 2 additional losses. Most likely possibilities:

UT & Missouri (home), OSU and A&M (road). I see 3-1 there, although 2-2 isn't out of the question.

Key is, South teams would have to do damage to Nebraska and Missouri.
