STAFF PICKS: Predicting the final four games of the season
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Interesting that Jay selected us to go 4-0. Nice dose of koolaid nose beers to start the day.
I've got us at 2-2. I think were right there with a shot to win all 4 (as we've been with every game this year) but this team just shows that it strays away from "The Process" and loses in the margins, rather than wins. Not to mention, the infuriating lack of help from play caller Manning in refusing to consistently establish the run game, even when Brock is struggling.
It all equates to going .500 down the stretch rather than heading to the Big 12 CCG and many of us left wondering what could have been.
Prove me wrong boys!

4-0... 12% chance
3-1... 20% chance
2-2... 40% chance
1-3... 20% chance
0-4... 8% chance
3-1... 20% chance
2-2... 40% chance
1-3... 20% chance
0-4... 8% chance
They’ll go 1-3 and finish 6-6. Then back to Memphis versus an 11-1 SMU in the Liberty Bowl. Campbell goes to Michigan in the middle of December and we lose to finish 6-7. Everyone good transfers in the off-season and we get kicked out of the conference.
Prove me wrong universe.

I think it was Kevin predicting 2-2 and going to Houston to play A&M - of course that will happen because we play more home teams in bowl games than anyone.
Currently 7-1 on the year predicting ISU wins/losses; was incrroect on the TCU game. I predict ISU to finish 6-6. I also predict a lot of hate from people since I'm not drinking koolaid.
@ OU: Loss
Texas: Loss
Kansas: Win
& KSU: Loss
When you don't win the margins you will lose games against quality teams. ISU currently has made 10 FG & missed 6 FG this year. Equating to 63% on the year. ISU is currently tied for 91 in turnover margin at -3.

Baylor: 15 (L)

UNI: 107 (W)
ULM: 122 (W)
OU: 6

ISU has not won a close game against a quality opponent in a while (a home game against a bad 5 win KSU team doesn’t count).
And they haven't beaten anyone good this year. TCU's OK. Oddly that was a game where a few designed runs went to Purdy and, OMG, the offense opened up.
I'll go 2-2 or 1-3. 10 point losses the next two, get KU, and KSU's a toss up.
Similar to the 2005 season just with more talent...capable of being really decent but just doesn't quite get to its potential.
Safe guess is 7-5. Loss to OU, win one of two vs. UT or KSU, win over KU.
this is dumb. You think it’s because you’re not drinking kool aid that you’re an *******? You’d rather we lose so you can come on here and act sanctimonious, than win.
That’s crazy **** that people intentionally put themselves through things that they either are miserable watching, or want to see fail so they can brag to strangers how smart they are (right final four?)
But at least you can save all that time you would waste watching the games.
Those sagarin numbers are pretty alarming. I’m just not sure we’re actually that good cause we do dumb **** like drop interceptions on defense and miss a ton of kicks
Missed tackles and pursuit were also an issue early and were what led to two OSU TDs last week.
What’s our sargarin rating?
I have no idea if you are right. But I’ll give you grief because you come across as someone who wants to be right. It’s sort of like when people post “I hope I’m wrong but...”. They don’t hope they are wrong.
7-5 was my guess before the season started. Not what I wished for or hoped for, was just being realistic.
We definitely have struggled tackling this year. We have not turned people over enough.
lots of opportunities ahead. I don’t give up on these kids. You can if you want to, I guess.
I admit I'm a big homer but if we win down in Norman I think we win out. So I will go with 4-0!!
