When I project out the remaining schedules in the Big XII north I come up with ISU, Neb, and Mizzou all at 4-4 atop the division. If these three teams finish in a 3 way tie who advances on to the championship game??? Keep in mind that in this scenario ISU beat Neb, Neb beat Mizzou, and Mizzou beat ISU.

(Of course if ISU can take care of the games I think they 'should' win: A&M, CU, and Mizzou this would be a mute discussion and ISU would advance at 5-3)

I think we should win out. If we do that we SHOULD win unless Kansas wins out and KSU only loses one.

Let's just beat Missouri and not worry about losing another tiebreaker (although at least this one wouldn't be to Colorado again).

We really need to worry more about Kansas and KSU getting to 3-4 losses each. I am afraid that KSU might actually pull it out.

I actually don't think KSU has a good chance. Their remaining games are OU, Kansas, Mizzou, and Nebraska. My gut feeling is they don't win another game.

KU's remaining schedule is brutal: at Tech and at Texas will get them to 4 losses right off the bat

I also do not think KSU will win another game this year.

I hope you guys are right. If so, I am pretty optimistic if we can win this week. If we are 7-4 going into the Missouri game with the North on the line, I like our chances, hmmm that sounds familiar.

Let's take care of business on Saturday. That is a huge game.

By "mute" do you mean no one would be able to hear the discussion?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. While I'm ecstatic about the Nebraska win, there's still not a game on our schedule that I'm not worried about. I'm not even chalking CU up right now. They've improved as the season has gone on.

T A&M has me more worried than the other games. They are erratic. It is hard to figure which team shows up. It is in college station and they 12th man will be there. I hope we win. But even if we don't, I still like our chances against Mizzou and CU.

I fear that NU (1-2) has the easiest road ahead. OU is the only really potent team of their remaining 5. Otherwise they have Baylor, KU, KSU, CU.

Personally, I think KU has been exposed. The rest aren't all that good, IMO.

Their offense might stink, but NU still has a tough, tough D - and that keeps you in games. I can really see NU finishing out at 5-3.

And I'm unfortunately at the point where I can realistically see ISU going anywhere between 4-0 and 0-4. I would say I have the most faith in the CU game, but after they beat KU - who the hell knows.

I'm going to say we go 0-4 (when you've been dead wrong the past 3 weeks, so you just keep going with what works.... :biggrin:)

"I don't think we beat Nebraska. jmo" - last week.
"I don't think we beat Baylor. jmo" - two weeks ago.
"I don't think we beat Army. jmo" - 5 weeks ago.
"I don't think we beat Kent St. jmo" - 6 weeks ago.

Isn't about time we have just a little bit of confidence in our team?

Shut up.

If it's not broke, don't fix it.
