None of these opponents are significantly at a higher level than ISU this season, right now. That is, I don't consider any of these games a "probable loss."
On the other hand, this year's team might be hard-pressed to go 4-0 during this stretch, or any stretch, in the Big 12. If life were fair, we'd automatically get 2 wins to balance the NU/OSU near miss chances.
But life isn't fair.
I'm more hopeful about winning @CU and vs. KSU at home than I might've been a couple of weeks ago, even with the crushing week on the road. Probably not both.
Could: 4-0
Should: 3-1
My guess: 2-2
Anything worse — eek. Be prepared for nothing better than 16-15/3-13.
