I watched part of the TCU game Saturday night. They absolutely destroyed Minnesota. That game is looking more difficult than what many thought.

Were they that good or was Minny just that bad? I didn't see the game, but the Minny QB threw 3 picks. There's not too many teams that can do that and still win.

Easiest to hardest:


Toledo
Kansas
Tech
West Virginia
Texas
TCU
Okie State
Baylor
OU

Have to get Toledo and Kansas. Have to get 2 of the 3 from Tech, WVU, Texas, then have to upset someone else.

Toledo is probably better than KU and they might even be better than Tech. Some have a lot of confidence in Kingsbury, but I think you just have to hide his Dapper Dan and he will be all out of sorts.

I don't want to be a debby downer, but I feel like it is still too early to call TTech a likely win. I hope we just keep improving week to week and let the chips fall where they may.

TT looked pretty bad on defense....

No there isn't but I'm going to go ahead and make every Flood Zone Hok fan's wet dream come true and say:

I don't care! We won our Superbowl! I watch Paul Woads wocker woom speech twice a day on Youtube. It's the Hokeye state for a reason! Even if we lose every other game this year I will still consider this season a success because we won our superbowl against the big brother that plays in the greatest conference in history both oral and written.

Have at it Flood Zone Hoks. Tavern hoks you have a go as well. All you Kirkwood Eagles out there, don't touch it. And remember, paper not plastic please.

If this team is 5-6 going to Fort Worth, they are going to play their hearts out and maybe it will be enough.

If this team is 5-6 going into the last game, they are going to kick themselves for not beating an FCS team and getting that last 1st down against KSU at home. Then they would have been 7-4 going into the last game.....

We probably dug ourselves too big of whole, but who knows. Beating Iowa is a start at least.

Likely to beat Toledo and Kansas to give us 3.

Texas Tech looks very beatable, especially when we get a bye week before them and we are sandwiched in between Baylor and Oklahoma for them.

Possible upsets include Texas, TCU, and West Virginia. It is possible that there could be 5 more wins but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

No I get that, and we have improved, but I just think Kingsbury is going to get that offense going and when that happens they will be tough.
I have to disagree. I see Kingsbury being gone in a year or 2. Especially with Tech's heightened expectations after Mike Leach.

Toledo's starting QB is out for season with torn ACL, and game is home. So I would think it is a better shot than KU. Truth be told, if we lose either of them, I will be ******.

We need to run the score on both those games if we hope to keep our playoff hopes alive.
