Predicting 9-3 with OU as the kicker between 8 and 9 wins. Either way, this year I feel that we are winning our bowl game. I could sure handle a season with a brand new defense getting double digit wins. If we managed that, could you imagine next year :Salute:

Notice, perfect @ home, our place is a castle (literally) that can't be breached.

Have us at 8-4. I'm also not sure we beat ISU this year, hopefully it's not as stressful as the past 4 years.
Hoping for 9-3 and a trip to the Cotton Bowl. Would love to get a win in Dallas.

The important part is at the bottom of what I pasted. We could be firmly in the top 10 with wins over Texas and OSU. That would be sweet, even though we both predict that wont happen.

Kansas State (2012 record: 11-2)
—The Wildcats are the first team outside of the top 25 despite several positives, with none bigger than the coach on the sideline: Bill Snyder returns for his 22nd season at Kansas State – the fifth of his second turn in Manhattan – and returns the sort of foundation needed to again challenge for the Big 12 championship and factor into the BCS conversation.
What is Kansas State missing? Experience. The Wildcats return only eight starters from last year's team, including only one starter on the defensive side of the ball. The biggest loss is on offense, however, where Kansas State must replace all-conference quarterback Collin Klein.
What can Kansas State do? Snyder needs to pick a quarterback, for one, whether he opts for sophomore Daniel Sams, last year's backup, or junior-college transfer Jake Waters. Kansas State also has the luxury of a smooth non-conference schedule – a familiar sight – and plays at Texas and Oklahoma State to open Big 12 play. A 4-1 start will move KSU into the top 25; a 5-0 start will place the Wildcats firmly inside the top 10.

Changed up my predictions based on our performance and others. Texas looked good, and I think they grab the W for the first time in so many years i can't remember. OSU looked meh against Miss St. who is a bottom feeder in the SEC. I think we bounce back and grab our first road win there. OU will be so darn good and needing to beat us to clench the Big 12 title that they roll in and out with a W. 8 wins with a bowl victory (woot!).

I like that prediciton so I won't make another one.
Here is my prediction if we lose LaLa
vs NDSU - L
vs La-La - L
vs Mass - W
@ Texas - L
@ OSU - L
vs Balyor - W <- The team is up for this game as retribution from last year. If they still have the heart after 4 losses.

@ KU - W
5 wins, could end up with only 4. If we don't win this weekend expect a repeat of the 2004 and 2005 season.
-
I have to say, I haven't seen anyone ever make a prediction with an assumption we lose the next game. That concerns me!

As you can tell I am pretty optimistic that we recover from this NDSU loss. This team has the potential to do very well offensively, and if the defense can come up with some big plays and stop the opponents on an occasional third down, that will help.
-
It's no different than making an assumption that we lose any games... Your prediction assumes we lose 3 more. I made an alternate prediction IF we lose the next one because we both agree this weekends game is really going to tell us the team we have.
-
CC I hope you're right. 10 wins would be epic!
-
I like that prediction so I won't make another one.
I read over that and didn't realize what you said. I was concerned that you only had one updated prediction, and it was us losing our next game. However, after reading your first sentence, it makes sense now.
p.s. ISU is bad this year, I could agree with your predictions if we lose our next, but I would switch that with a W. Probably only change though.
-
Yeah, but it's ISU, and if we are bad THIS would be the year I would expect them to finally get to close win.

Updated predictions above based on this weeks games. I have us losing to Baylor and Tech handily. Both play a type of offense I think our D wont handle well (next year will be different). Tech has some issues right now, but will have it worked out in a few weeks and be ready for us at home. Baylor is steam rolling right now and we catch them to early to do any damage. However, I have OSU as a fence game. We could have more momentum by that game then OSU would want as we play to darn disciplined for their bunch and could steal a win.
-
I still think we lose against Iowa St. this year. but everything else looks about right...
SO I will do what I did last week. IF we lose this weekend this is how the rest of the season will go.

It would be tough seeing us win any games if we don't CRUSH Mass.
-
I think your last comment is worth a discussion of its own. Lets define "CRUSH". UMASS is just not good this year, matter of fact, they are horrible. I would be upset if they got over 10 points to be honest, but I am willing to say 12 to be safe. I also think we tally up 50+. Anything less, I will be upset as I don't plan on staying in the stadium for this full game. Without a home game in nearly a month, I will be tailgating to the extreme to hold me over.
-
As in worse than West Virginia vs. Clemson in the 2012 Orange Bowl kind of crush. I'm expecting 70 Points scored against UMass and for them to have less than 20. I'll give the 2nd team defense some points in the 4th.
