I'm looking forward to coming back to this thread at the end of the season
I chose 8-4, but that's mainly averaging my outlook. Based on season so far, this looks like a 7/5/6-6 team. That’s typical for annual Septemberitis … things will get rolling a little better and we'll reach 9-3 range, 10-2 at a stretch. Will lose to OU (either badly or one of those almost-wins), beat Baylor despite p***ing around most of the game, lose at least one of at West Virginia, at KSU or OSU. Squeak past TCU in finale to clinch at least 3rd in XII.
By who? Have you seen their schedule? The only possible losses left are Penn St and Wisconsin. They'll probably lose one of those and 1 more against Northwestern or Purdue but 2 losses will still get them a shot at the playoffs against Ohio St.
They'll steamroll a majority of those teams left on their schedule.
This right here, Big 12 isn’t gonna offer too many challenges. This team only has 3 games they’ll have to really work for & we probably can win 2/3 of em since no one will match Iowa’s defense & slow down the run. Avoid stepping on our own nutsack, like a game to Kstate, & we’ll get 10
Ok I’ll say it. How is this any different from any other year? Slow start. A loss to Iowa we shouldn’t have. Offense feels like it went into regression. This is the typical ISU start to a season. I’d say we are right on track. Looks to be another good year!
I’d start with their Friday road game at Maryland in 3 weeks. Maryland isn’t great, but they don’t look to be terrible after 2 weeks. Not saying it happens, but they are capable of beating this Iowa. I also expect Iowa to be in dogfights with Northwestern and Purdue like they are every year. Also Wisconsin game is in Madison.
Sure, but after returning 20/22 starters, with also having a lot of 5th and 6th year seniors, wouldn’t you be a little disappointed with 7-6 or 8-5? Most years no, but this year?
Yes I would be disappointed. Even though the offense is all back it doesn’t look like they’ve improved.
We should have a much better handle on where this team is after Baylor.
More likely than not, we'll lose 1 to either OSU or OU. Perhaps we'll lose 1 more that we shouldn't lose somewhere.
The good news is that most of the rest of the conference has NOT looked good the last few weeks.
Although last game was frustrating, our coaching staff has proven over and over again that the team will improve every week. I think we end up at 9-3 or 10-2.

some of you on here haven't seen other big 12 teams have you? Oklahoma state is goign to be very beatable...WV isn't good...Baylor is not improved they look worse honestly.. and OU is still lets see how things go.
Texas is ok but they are going to be up and down all year IMO.
I honestly think this team is going to play better on the road...They kinda have in the past honestly under CMC.
Iowa is our 1 loss right now and they are going to be Top 7-8ish in country next week and we completely gave them that game..
If we can simply avoid TO and Purdy gets on track there is no reason this team cannot compete for Big 12 title..
No way this team goes 6-6 like some are saying.
We should start the season 4-1 honestly and if we don't you could see a change at QB then...Until then I"m going to assume Purdy will get his **** together..

No they won't...Iowa had every opportunity and then some to score numerous offensive touchdowns yesterday and flat out got stood up outside 1 possession...
It isn't like Iowa ran the ball 40 times to just eat clock. They passed the ball a fair amount. The game was 14-10 in the 3rd qtr...it is not like it was 24-3 and Iowa just decided to pack it in offensively..
Iowa had fewer offensive yards than freaking plays in the 2nd half.
I agree with you its going to be a Nine Win ...Three Loss season IMHO
I AGREE ...Kansas State in Manhattan has been a LIVING NIGHTMARE SINCE BILLY BOB SNYDER TOOK OVER....I just don't see this team esp the offense beating KSU's Defense
The only thing that makes this seem possible is that Iowa State having that ridiculously good of a season and OF COURSE the football gods (who eternally loathe us) will have our one loss in a year that good is against ******* Iowa….
