I just rewatched us beating K-State at their place last year and don't see it. Martinez is going to be better than Skylar Thompson? I don't think so. And I saw on twitter some other noob was predicting Nebraska to go 10-2 and win their division, with Iowa finishing 7-5. So Martinez leaving Nebraska for K-State apparently improved Nebraska and K-State exponentially. Makes very little sense to me.K-State getting pumped up by everyone is going to make their crash back to Earth glorious.
Yeah. The math doesn't add up there. Texas, Nebraska, Miami, Florida State just aren't the same anymore. Until people get this through their head, these schools will always be overhyped and overrated each year.I just rewatched us beating K-State at their place last year and don't see it.

Yeah the Kansas prediction is maybe more absurd than the K State prediction.Kansas finished last in the North in 2009 and 2010. Once divisions were eliminated starting in 2011 they have finished better than last place ONE TIME (which was a 9th place finish). They have seven straight last place finishes. Picking them 8th is ignoring a whole lot of history.
I suppose it's possible KU goes 3-6, but has overall record at 4-8 -- so Kansas is good enough to win 3 Big 12 games, but (presumably) loses at home to Duke?Yeah the Kansas prediction is maybe more absurd than the K State prediction.
It's the only reason why people like Cowherd, Stephen A and Skip Bayless have jobs.HOT TAKES GET CLICKS AND PAY ME THE MONEYS.
Seriously, I think we have got to the point where the dumber the prediction, the more attention it gets, and the more clicks and ad revenue. We are rewarding stupidity, constantly.
I seriously don't understand the K-State love that I'm hearing from so many pundits.Some notes:
Has K-State going 10-2 and winning the conference.
Title game: K-State over Baylor.
Iowa State at 7-5 (5-4)
TCU/Texas finishing 4-8 with 2 conference wins a piece.
OU going 7-5 and 5-4 in conf.
The funniest thing about it all- Stewie has Nebraska predicted to go 4-8 and with OU at 7-5 it means that Nebraska has to lose to GA Southern/North Dakota or OU has to lose to Kent State/UTEP. His excuse? Nebraska having to fly back from Ireland.
His order of finish:
K-State
Baylor
Oklahoma State
Oklahoma
Iowa State
West Virginia
Tx Tech
KANSAS
Texas
TCU
Still bitter about that fake ID comment?It's the only reason why people like Cowherd, Stephen A and Skip Bayless have jobs.
I know you are a hawk fan and Cowherd hurt your fanbase with the fake ID thing but I seriously don't think he belongs with those other two blowhards.It's the only reason why people like Cowherd, Stephen A and Skip Bayless have jobs.
LOL I haven't thought about that in a long time and found it amusing even back then.Still bitter about that fake ID comment?
There was a thread on this very site a day or two ago about Cowherd's ridiculous top 25. He's absolutely in the same conversation, IMO.I know you are a hawk fan and Cowherd hurt your fanbase with the fake ID thing but I seriously don't think he belongs with those other two blowhards.
They won’t be good but I have a tough time thinking TCU will be that big of a shitbag.
