Stewart Mandel’s (LOSER) Big 12 predictions: Is it K-State’s year in a conference of change?

Why do people pay attention to this moron? He's proven he terrible at covering PAC-12, so his takes on the Big 12 are going to be even worse. What's worse than terrible...abysmal?
What's with the Adrian Martinez love? The dude was always so hyped up at Nebraska but never delivered. He never did much at Nebraska, with a 1.5 TD:Int ratio and a completion percentage below 64%. Nebraska constantly brought in high 4 star wide receivers, but that didn't do much for Martinez to make his numbers look any decent. Sure, he can run, but so can most quarterbacks in the conference. The only fun fact I learned about Martinez, while looking up his stats, is that he has one career punt for 45 yards.
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.
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.
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.
F it. Iowa State goes 11-1 with only loss at Oklahoma State. I can make wildly inaccurate predictions too.
Yeah the Kansas prediction is maybe more absurd than the K State prediction.
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 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?
Maybe it's "get better later in the season" or something.
It's the only reason why people like Cowherd, Stephen A and Skip Bayless have jobs.
I seriously don't understand the K-State love that I'm hearing from so many pundits.
I don't see 10-2 as remotely a possibility for them at all. In fact, while I wouldn't predict it, I think ISU has a better chance of going 10-2 than K-State. And we will beat them in Ames this season too IMO.
Still bitter about that fake ID comment?
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.
LOL I haven't thought about that in a long time and found it amusing even back then.
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.
On the other hand sign me up every day for KU finishing ahead of Texas so long as one of their wins isn't ISU obviously.
I'd also take 7-5/5-4 record for ISU.
