So is the game a black out for the fans too or just the players who are wearing black?
I’m a supporter that our players and fans don’t wear colors of the opposing teams’ main colors.

Which in this instance are Black and Gold.

Exceptions for Matt Campbell and the staff.l as usual.

But apparently the team is wearing Black.

I wore white for Baylor (Green and Gold)

But I will be wearing Red.

Just keep playing like you have Clones and get the W. Obviously UCF been struggling. It looked like the QB they put out in the second half put up some decent stats though.

In super surprised Tennessee fell as far.

But yes, it will be interesting even if a Big 12 team goes 11-1 and loses the Big 12 Championship game…….
It's tough to tell, but I think they'd be in. It depends a lot on who the first loss was to and what wins are on the schedule.

But an 11-1 team in the Big 12 championship is probably 6th to 9th in the CFP. Does a loss to a good team drop them out? I think people are forgetting that other conferences and teams have to take losses too. I know it's fashionable to be cynical about this, but I don't see 9-3 Big 10/SEC teams jumping a 11-2 Big 12 team with one of those losses in the Big 12 championship game.

bummer we ended up on FS1 instead of big Fox. I remember them saying it was an either/or pending the results this weekend. Does anyone know who got that slot on FOX?

Kansas State - West Virginia. Seems the networks think that will be a more competitive game.

No they think more people will watch it, and they're right. West Virginia has a big fanbase. Kansas State is ranked. Nobody watches UCF. And we're a nice story, but we're not bringing a lotta eyeballs either.

The Fox broadcasts are overrated. It's basically the same production as FS1 if you're not the Big Noon game. ESPN/ABC, NBC, and CBS produce much better broadcasts.

If nobody watches UCF, then why did the Big 12 invite them?

I tend to agree with you

This is a team that is built on speed and big plays. Harvey and Boone are gonna be tough to stop on the ground, and their QBs can also run. Gotta shut down their star WR, Kobe Hudson, which we can definitely do, but WVU found the holes in our secondary many times and UCF, if they did their homework, could look to do the same. These guys can put some points on the board.

Defensively, they are tough against the run and not so good against the pass, although they do have 7 INTs.

UCF's o-line is not very good, allowing 17 sacks. They have turned the ball over 10 times... lost 6 fumbles and thrown 4 picks. I hope Heacock bring some heat early and doesn't let their QB get comfortable. This game could turn into a shootout, and I do think UCF will keep it close, but ISU will win 31-21.

I was wondering who was going to be the first person to inflate UCF to make this game seem competitive and stressful.

Congrats!

FS1? I’m kinda surprised but I guess it could be a blowout. Not that it matter for me, I’ll be there.
if you're talking brand vs brand, K-State and West Virginia would probably get better ratings from that standpoint....does not help our case that UCF has completely collapsed over the last few weeks

Agree....and worry if we get a loss we plummit
we basically have to hope for BYU and Iowa State to meet up undefeated in Arlington if either of us wants any shot at an at large bid.....there are still some major SEC teams who will take losses.....Bama is at Tennessee this week, UGA is at Texas, UGA still has to go to Ole Miss....lots of chaos ahead....just need the Clones to keep on winning

To reference the whiteout, that was an "official" theme for this season.....nowhere has it ever been mentioned that we'd have a blackout game.....the team has worn their all blacks for at least one big day or night game ever since 2018, but I'll be wearing cardinal
