[Hold on, it’s not over yet] PATHWAY TO DALLAS
- Thread starter cyclone4L
- Start date
OSU and their fans are a decent bunch, but trust me they have never forgotten that nite game in Ames and would like nothing better to pay us back. Us going into the OSU game w/o a conference loss they would really like to fix that problem.
I don't even wear a nut cup anymore since I'm so callused.
And in that 2002 season, the Cyclones really fell off after a great start. Texas Tech is next. That's it for me for this thread until mid November.
Easiest realistic path - win balance of home games and KU on road.
That leaves 7-2 with losses to Texas and Okie State.
To get the #2 seed (assuming OSU wins) you would just need Texas to drop 2 more games and TCU and Kansas State to lose 1 more (second are much more likely than the first).
That Texas Tech choke was a killer.

Root for OU to beat Texas, OSU, any of the teams close to the top.
Tiebreaker goes to us, so we'd need at least 3 losses.
Yup! Had some real clunkers to finish the season too:

Going into that Oklahoma game we were ranked 9th and people were hyping Seneca for the Heisman then we just got embarrassed on national television and the rest of the season was one disappointment after another including just an ugly game at the end of the season where we got embarrassed at home by a 5-6 UConn team that sealed our fate of having to play a home game against Boise State on the smurf turf for our bowl game.
Have seen enough ISU melt downs over the years that we are way too early into this season to be looking any further ahead than the game in front of us and I would bet CMC has been doing everything he can to keep the team focused on that as well. Things feel different under this staff than previous staffs but we still need to go out there and earn it first.
It's kind of odd, but I am cheering for Oklahoma to beat Texas this weekend so that we have a two game lead on both Texas and Oklahoma. If that happens and we win every game we are favored in, we can afford to go 1-1 between Texas and Oklahoma State and be guaranteed. At the same time, I don't see Oklahoma State any worse than splitting between Oklahoma and Texas.
There can't be many teams in the history of college football that played four road games against ranked teams in a five-week span.
Oh yeah, the year Oklahoma crushed us and killed all of our dreams.
Regardless we still lost the 4 by a combined score of 169-47 so don't think it really mattered where the game was played as we pretty much got smoked in 3 of the 4. Can probably go back and look over the past 20 years and find some rough stretches where we played a string of ranked teams.
Right, however we are normally not on the leader board with a win over the champ of the last 5 years. Winning solves everything of course.
Hangin' their hat on that impressive win over <goes to big12sports.com> Missouri State. 'Cause <checks big12sports.com again> Coastal Carolina was brutal.
I just can't quite agree with this. We've seen chaos take its toll on the playoff selection before. If ISU runs the table, beating otherwise undefeated OkState twice, there most definitely is a (slight) chance. It may take every non-PAC12-blue-blood-not-named-Bama-and-Clemson to have 3 losses, or 2 bad losses late in the season, but it could happen. Especially in 2020.
I feel like we can take Texas down. They’re not really all that good. Breece and Purdy can carve up that defense.
I, I, I just can't do it. They both lose!!!
