If we lose at Kansas State in 2 weeks, this will start feeling like a 6-6 year instead of 7-5 or 8-4. Manhattan is another road trip that’s usually not kind to us.

I still think we can win our 4 home games. Lose 3 road games (all except TT) and come in 7-5.

8-4. Don't see this team beating OU and OSU, and it feels unlikely that we sweep the rest. I don't feel like yesterday's team would have beaten Texas, TCU, or KSU on the road.

Revising down to 6-6. OU, OSU and Texas are likely losses, KSU is 50/50, and WV could easily be a loss.

Probable wins: TCU, KU, and Tech.

Looking like a dogfight just to get to 7-5. My prediction now is 6-6. We win one of WV/KSU and the other probables, while losing the rest.

I think most college football fans would disagree with you. The only ones who might agree with you are fans of schools with poor football history, like ISU.

7-5 is not a good record.

Yep. Tom Herman got fired when his worst season was 7-6.

As of 9/26, here is what the ESPN probability would have the final BIG 12 standings:
Oklahoma 9-0
Iowa State 7-2 (Loss @ Oklahoma)
Texas 7-2 (Loss @ Iowa St, Oklahoma)
Baylor 5-4 (Losses @TCU, @Okla St, Oklahoma, Texas)
TCU 5-4 (Losses @Oklahoma, Texas, @Oklahoma St, @ Iowa St)
Okla St 4-5
W Virginia 4-5
Texas Tech 3-6
Kansas St 1-8
Kansas 0-9

I'm most surprised by Texas over Baylor in Waco. For those still wanting a Big 12 championship game, I think we have to thread the needle with Baylor and Texas picking up some losses, and both losing to Oklahoma. I also feel like Baylor could win at TCU or at Oklahoma State.

I feel bad for KSU fans, they were setting up to have a good season until their injury prone qb had to break every bone in his body. KSU will be at the bottom of the pack now and looks like ESPN is seeing this too.
If we beat Texas, I'll forgive this terrible September football.

Goodness. 7-5 is still a good team, lol

For ISU, yes. Remember, 1 of those wins comes against an FCS school and another against non-P5. I'm glad we got those wins obviously but it's tough to brag about them. That record would have us .500 against our peers.

2-2 is a possibility in October, not good. Do you want to stake bowl hopes on winning two games in November? The two would be at Tech and home vs TCU. If you can only count on your defense, I wouldn't hold my breath

I think I was originally at 9 wins. Feels like a 7-5 year right now, getting to 8-4 would be a good achievement given the start.

Based on offensive play calling, turnovers, not very good OL and abysmal special teams what do you think is more likely in the final eight games? 5-3 or 3-5?
(I'm not calling out @farminclone or anything, just asking everyone in general.)
