Kansas is going to suck balls. I still don't understand them not being picked 5th or 6th.

Lindy's also had ISU 3rd in the north and 8th in the conference. It was Neb, Mizzou, ISU, K. State, Kansas, Colorado. And Baylor is the south team we are ahead of in their book. Also, we're number 50 in nation. Inspite of all this, Arob isn't considered one of the top 4 backs in the conference.

They have ISU going 3-1 in the non-conference slate. That would be amazing and it would give they Cyclones a boost to finish the remainder of the Big XII schedule.

I guess it's all a matter of expectation. If ISU doesn't go 3-1 in non-conference, we have almost zero chance of making a bowl game. That's what's crazy about the schedule this year. We need to beat Iowa and/or Utah to keep hopes flying high about a better bowl game. If we beat either of those teams, I would probably be fairly satisfied with the season even if we ended 5-7. So many variables going into this season that I'm struggling to decide if 4-8 is a really good record or a really bad one.
