Is this as of today with a 3-0 start? I will say this guy is the most overrated person in college football. He knows little to nothing about football, but people keep buying his junk and keeping this guy in business.

I don't know about that. He is pretty good at predicting overall, just not with Iowa State

I have never read a preview of his that was accurate. He makes me think of a guy that sits in his basement and bases his evaluations on College Football 2013.

This thread reminds me of the Iowa predictions thread, Everybody here sees big scores. Our D deserves respect here. Tech will score 6, and our D scores a pick 6. Our O... 17.... ISU 24 tt 6

Almost impossible. 32-32 at the end of regulation. ISU gets the ball first in OT. They score a touchdown, 38-32 ISU. Extra point is blocked and returned for two points by Tech. 38-34 ISU. Tech doesn't score on their OT possession, so that's the final.


Nice 6th post! I couldn't figure it out, but I thought there might be a way.

Tech 17

We will get to Doege and rattle him. Our DBs will win the passing battle because they are so smart and well-coached. Tech's 4* WRs will have lots of catches stolen from them by our DBs stripping the ball.

We will score twice on long drives in the 1st Q that emphasize the run and control the clock. The second half will be more of a shootout which includes us scoring on a few long passes and Tech moving the ball in the air once it is too late.

It won't be as close as this score indicates.

Almost anyone can do a decent job 'overall', and nobody will call you for the ones you were wrong.

Just when I thought he could be any dummer he goes and does something like that.
KSU will finish 8th at 2-7? What does he expect will happen to them that I don't know about. At the very worst I could see them finishing 5th and at best I could see them winning the whole damn thing.

Close. But I like this scenario better: 31-31 all after 4 quarters and ISU scores a TD and XP good to go up 38-31 and realizing that he doesn't wanna endure the heartbreak of watching his team lose by getting "Woody-ized" a la Okie State style last year. Tubbyville decides to kick the FG on 1st play of O to leave Ames at a 38-34 ISU win where at least Tech scored the last point of the game. They wanna get out of Jack Trice Stadium before hearing the roar of the CyclONE NATION and Sweet Caroline to rub in the wounds of wrecked tech.

Kansas State does have a really good team this year. I agree with you longtimeclone. I would put money that they will finish closer to 7-2 than 2-7.
