Is TT a must win game?

[swarthmoreCY]

Likely our easiest remaining game.

Win, and we start having serious momentum. Lose, and making a bowl is in serious jeopardy.

Every game is a must win game in the big 12, getting to 6 wins is tough.

 

[bostrem00]

All games should be a must win....

Kansas?

 

[Al_4_State]

No.

The way the Big 12 is stacked up this year, everyone but KU is legit. There are no games that are "must win" type games in an individual capacity at this point in time.

Must win for what? Like CPR, I'm not putting a ceiling on this team.....

 

[MIClone]

Must win for what?
National Championship? Yes.
Conference Championship? Yes.
Bowl Game? Not necessarily.
I'd like to keep the N.C. option open for a while, so I guess it is a must win.

 

[Rhoadhoused]

Nope.

 

[MissouriCyclone]

Every game is a must win so yes. 12-0 here we come baby!

"Must-wins" IMO are the games they need to win to meet my expectations for the season. This is by no means a must-win for me.

Everyone being legit does not equate to all games being of equal odds. Not winning one of your better opportunities (home game plus against a team not in the top-15) is likely to be lethal when facing such a stacked schedule.

I really dislike this "Is XXX a must-win?" mentality.

Well, yeah, I guess. To go undefeated.

It's a will win.

 

[everyyard]

To get to undeafeated all games are must wins. I believed CPR when he said we will win a bigxii title. Why not just do it this year?

It's a strangely framed question. The goal should be to win the game, always. Durpa durr.

 

[Drive4cy]

A home game against a mid level (at best) Big 12 team is absolutely must win. Especially with a tricky road game the following week.

 

[RustShack]

Each game is a must win, go week by week and don't look ahead. This is going to be a special season.

 

[CyCloned]

TT is kind of like playing Iowa, ya, they look like they could be pretty good, but they still are one of the teams you are going to have to beat to get to a bowl game. Not the end of the season if ISU doesn't win, but getting to a bowl with a loss to them looks very tough. Even if ISU wins, getting to a bowl looks hard.

Explain how the question suggests a goal of not winning the game? (Assuming that a fan's goal has any value or impact at all.)

I don't think it's that difficult. If some games are "must win", then logically it is implied that there are those that are NOT "must win"--or therefore, losable.

the op asked a normal legitimate question. not sure what the screwball responses are all about.
