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

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.
vs WVU - W
vs Iowa St. - L
@ Tech - L
vs TCU - W
vs OU - L
@ 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.

[KSUftw]

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.

[Lynch]

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!
