OU - L
UT - L
KU - W
NU - L
CU - W
MU - L

(Due to there not being enough qualifying teams we get in to the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl)

BYU - W

Finish the season 6-7 to keep rhoads at .500 for his career!

Umm... if they finish out with only 2 more wins, they will be 5-7 and would be one of those teams not qualifying. You need 6 wins to become bowl eligible.

I agree not sure why so many people think Missouri is a W. they have a great Defense this year and their Offense is better than ours. Many have been saying this is the best defense under Pinkle...not that is all that great but it speaks about what kind of team they have

I will wait until Missouri actually plays someone with a heartbeat before I drae any conclusions on them. The highest ranked offense they have faced is San Diego St. Something tells me that after they play aTm, Oklahoma, Nebraska and TT, their de fensive rankings will look a little more like ours.

Maybe I am wrong but they they haven't played anyone with a pulse AND they have yet to go on the road.

For some reason I feel ok about the Texas game. Not saying we WILL win, but they're defense has been said to be suspect this season (in terms of discipline and tackling) and their run game is weak. That could be a game that could shock Cyclone Nation.
Funny...you just described Oklahoma perfectly. A defense that ranks 93rd on total yards and a run game that ranks 90th.

There are a certain amount of bowl spots open. If not enough teams get to 6 wins, they would have to take a 5 win team. ISU would likely be a candidate due to its schedule.

Not likely, but that was his point.

50-50 for ku

the rest are L's

I'd go with this if I were forced to bet my entire savings on it.

I think the best case scenario is that we beat KU and CU... that's it. We are not even close to being better than anyone else on the schedule besides KU and CU. Missouri is more likely to beat us by 3 TDs+ than we are in winning the game IMO.

Teams with as bad an offense as we have, and a defense that can give up 68 pts (which could have easily been 80 if Utah wanted it to be), have no room to even talk about going to a bowl game.

I see Texas beating NU today...and then being down for the ISU game. I know I will be a Texas fan today, because we don't have a shot if they are left hungry for a win.

I really want this Texas game...but I will take OU.

Well RedBlooded looks like you're 3 for 3 so far. If the 'Clones go 4-1 in their final five games, I'd say another trip to Tempe, AZ, or maybe (heaven forbid) Shreveport, LA is in the cards. Definitely not Yankee Stadium.

4 for 4 and counting -- how much are you selling your crystal ball for? If the 'Clones win out, the Holiday Bowl would be a possibility since they're picking after the Insight Bowl this year.
