10 predictions for the CFB season
- Thread starter Clones85'
- Start date
One more thing, in the 4 games we lost last year by 20 points or more (Iowa, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma) we had 1 sack TOTAL in those 4 games. Now even if we increase that to 2 to 3 a game, we still are not winning any of those games.
With that said, if we increase our sacks to 22 or more, there is no question that our defense will be much improved
Does Steele getting starting job change your prediction?
Does Steele winning the starting job change your guy's predictions on the season? I feel like most of us basically based our prediction on Steele being the starter anyway. But for those who didn't, does it change your prediction? I had 6-6, since I based it on Jantz being the starter. If Tiller had won, I was going to change mine to 3-9. For Barnett, I had us going 4-8 and maybe going 5-7.

Re: Does Steele getting starting job change your prediction?
Quite possibly the least amount of logic ever used on a CF question. And that's saying a lot.
So you think Jantz takes us to 6-6. If Tiller or Barnett had won, wouldn't it mean they were BETTER and therefore our record would be equal or better?

Well, i understand that it is just a prediciton. But in my opinion, well, they play those teams (minus oregon) every single year and have proven to be better. They are a damn good team that could also win the national title this year.
In the cybookie thread of who will win the NC this year, i actually posted saying they had a great shot. It just surprised me you thought they'd drop out of the top 25.
Re: Does Steele getting starting job change your prediction?
No, because I hoenstly thought and obviously still think Jantz is the best QB. If Barnett or Tiller would have "won", I would have called it a dumb move by the staff.
Re: Does Steele getting starting job change your prediction?
Ah. I'm glad you can gather more from Cyclones.com videos than what our coaching staff could gather after an entire offseason of direct contact.

I had my source that was in practice, practicing. And they weren't going to lie to me.
One of these I totally believe. One of these I'm calling BS on. Take your picks!
Yeah, it was just a shot in the dark. They could go to the title game and it wouldn't shock me (well a little). I guess, despite his wins, I still think Les Miles is close to running them into the ground.

I would seriously like what you guys are drinking or smoking when you think we are going to win anywhere from 5-7 games. I will go in the middle, who on earth do you think we are going to beat to get to 6 games?? We will not beat
Iowa, @ Uconn, Texas, @ Baylor, @Missouri, Texas A&M, @ Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, @Oklahoma and with K-State at the end of the year they will only be better so i can't see us winning that also.
Not trying to be a downer here but we do not have the luxury of playing 2 or 3 EASY nonconference games. And with Colorado out of the picture that hurts also. I cant see more than three wins this season. UNI, KU and maybe KSU. If I had to pick one upset it would be UCONN and yes, it would be an upset. I hope I am wrong. But I would bet my whole bank account (which is not much) that we do not win 6 games there or even 5.

Re: Does Steele getting starting job change your prediction?
You seem to be operating under the idea that the coaches would have picked a player who was clearly inferior to another and made him a starter.
That's incredibly stupid, even for you.

by that rationale, wouldn't reading and commenting on what you've determined to be a waste of time, be an even bigger waste of time? And for me to respond to your response, a still bigger waste of time? And the weak comeback response that you most certainly would post in response to my response to your response, an enormous waste of time? And the, no doubt witty and biting, retort I would write in response to your response to my response to your response? Would that not be such a colossal waste of time that it would begin to attract onlookers who were curious as to what could possibly be so important that it would waste so much valuable time?
Knowing that, can we just forgo the seemingly inevitable back and forth of your unfunny and tired rebukes and my dashingly clever counters and just agree that prediction threads, while generally a waste of time, are fun and good for discussion?
Re: Does Steele getting starting job change your prediction?
If Tiller had won, it would mean that Jantz and Barnett were worse than Tiller, and we've already seen what Tiller can do. Which is not a whole lot. So it's very logical to think we'll have a better record with Jantz at the helm. Not sure what's hard to grasp about that.

Uconn, Texas Tech, and K-State are all very winnable and I think we win at least two of those three. Iowa, Baylor, and Texas are all possible wins and I think we win at least one of those three. Those three plus UNI and KU is five games, with hopefully one extra win to go bowling.
