Let the race begin...

[Cy$]

if West Virginia finished third that would be good news for Iowa State as they would have the tiebreaker and would "technically" win the conference and be the number 1 seed, Kansas needs to drop a game at home I think.

 

[CapnCy]

Dang Tech loss...an that one Pt loss at Baylor also stings.

We just have to take care of our own business and be rooting for a few of our conf buddies to knock off KU at home.

 

[Cy$]

If you want to call @K-State, Baylor, WVUx2, Texas, and @OU easy...

if you want to call @OU, WVU, @OSU, @Texas, vs Baylor, @KSU, vsOU, @TCU easy...

 

[SpokaneCY]

Kansas' schedule is pretty easy the rest of the way, Iowa State's is not. Would need a McLemore Kansas choke to have any chance.

We have a much tougher row to hoe. If KU loses another game I'd be surprised. If we lost at least 2 more I won't be surprised. Would be nice to have the tech game back...

 

[State43]

And we have a win at WVU that KU doesn't. Your point?

You mean the same place BU won by 20 at?
Please go on

Schedules the rest of the way.

Both play:
@ Oklahoma
@ Kansas State
vs. Baylor


Iowa State plays:
@ Oklahoma State
@ Texas
@ TCU
vs. West Virginia
vs. Oklahoma


Kansas plays:
@ Texas Tech
@ West Virginia
vs. TCU
vs. Texas
vs. West Virginia


Out of the last eight games, ISU needs to beat KU by one game in order to tie them and share the title.

@OSU @UT @OU and @ KSU. Must win 3 out of those 4 to have any chance.

I didn't say our schedule was easy. But someone (you?) did call KU's easy.

 

[Fitzy]

And we have a win at WVU that KU doesn't. Your point?

We have a loss at Texas Tech that KU doesn't. Your point?

 

[Die4Cy]

That Baylor loss hurts every bit as the Tech loss. We could be alone in first .

 

[huntt26]

Let's reassess after Monday night's game. Go Cyclones!

 

[alarson]

Honestly, lets talk about this after we play OU monday. We come out of norman with a win and i'll start believing its possible to catch Kansas.

 

[Cy$]

I didn't say our schedule was easy. But someone (you?) did call KU's easy.

compared to Iowa State's, yes, it's very easy.

 

[jdoggivjc]

You mean the same place BU won by 20 at?
Please go on

So does that mean that KU is going to lose at TT because ISU lost there?

Transitive forecasting is such a "fun" thing...

 

[jdoggivjc]

compared to Iowa State's, yes, it's very easy.

We have virtually the same schedule. But please go on...

 

[CyFan61]

@OSU @UT @OU and @ KSU. Must win 3 out of those 4 to have any chance.

I agree with you and I imagine that you assume we win the rest. I think Iowa State has to finish 7-1 in order to have a shot at this. 14-4 looks to be the worst record that might get a piece of the title and ISU already has three conference losses.

And to get to 7-1, winning on Monday @ Oklahoma would be huge. If we drop that game then we basically would have to win out to have a shot.

 

[CyArob]

I didn't say our schedule was easy. But someone (you?) did call KU's easy.

It's easier than ISU's and ISU is one game back, so.... your point?

 

[jdoggivjc]

We have a loss at Texas Tech that KU doesn't. Your point?

So you're saying KU is going to lose at TT? Awesome...

 

[kcbob79clone]

Afraid that we will have to go undefeated to just share the championship.

 

[CyFan61]

We have virtually the same schedule. But please go on...

Kansas has four road games left (one against the 10th place team). Iowa State has five. That alone is a big difference in this conference.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Doesn't matter how- just need to gain a game.
