*purely based on hope the ISU offense finally starting to play football and the defense continuing to improve*
The Big 12 North title is still out there, right now Missouri and Nebraska are the frontrunners.
While ISU’s hope is a dim one, it’s not out of the question.
First, ISU must run the table. Yeah, a long shot – I know.
Second, Nebraska must lose three games (I think 3, although 2 may do it – you’ll see later)
They have to play Texas – I don’t see this Husker team beating the Longhorns. That’s one. Missouri – this team looks like the team to beat in the North. So there is 2 lets speculate. The third? Well, lets pray K-State, Oklahoma State, A&M or Colorado can pull out an upset.
On to Missouri. As speculation continues, we defeat them in the final game of the year. Their other loss…Oklahoma. Definitely not a given the way the Tigers are playing though – but lets mark it down for speculation. Otherwise A&M, K-State or Kansas needs to beat them.
Now, about my comment on Nebraska needing to lose either 2 or 3 games.
Should it end up as ISU, Nebraska and Missouri each with 2 losses and Nebraska defeated ISU yet lost to Missouri, ISU defeated Missouri and lost to Nebraska and Missouri defeated Nebraska and lost to Missouri…
I have no idea who’d get the North title. Iowa State out of pity from ’04 and ’05?
Anywho, this all was very optimistic speculation – for whatever it’s worth.
Which at this point, equals the value of that TD at the end of the game Saturday.
Nothin’.
