So, after your oSu game here's my power ranking ...

[surly]

oSu - held serve with backloaded schedule
ISU - that loss doesn't move my needle
K-State - yesterday's scrimmage proved little
OU - yep, improving
Texas - important win for coach Herman
TCU - Gary's program growing stale
TxT - beating WVU saves Wells' hide
WVU - beat Baylor earlier
Baylor - lost to WVU earlier
Ku - putrid program

 

[chuckd4735]

Id put KSU ahead of us for now, otherwise spot on.

 

[Stewo]

K-State above ISU at this point.

 

[MartyFine]

I’d have K-state above ISU given where things stand today, but a lot can change in a few weeks...

 

[JP4CY]

I'd also swap KState and ISU

 

[madguy30]

KSU looks the part of a more dominant and consistent team.

 

[jdoggivjc]

I’d swap as well, but the only people taking shame in that loss yesterday are the kind of people that would consider a loss to Clemson or Alabama inexcusable.

 

[Scruff]

Guessing Surly would swap kstate and istate, but he is trying to be nice.

Nope, you're wrong. I'm anything but nice.

ISU has a far better situation at QB, and that's the most important position on the field of play. ISU and K-State's defenses are a push. O'lines are both young. Receivers favor ISU because K-State's have been unimpressive to this point in time. K-State owns special teams. Coaching isn't worth debating. And finally, Farmageddon is in Ames.

I’m assuming you’re including TEs with receivers, because our wideouts have been abysmal.

 

[20eyes]

Iirc, TCU has had some pretty impressive recruiting lately. Probably too early to characterize Gary's program as stale.

Until ISU actually proves it on the field, KSU is above us in any Big 12 power rankings.

They are still the team I want US to become - even with the new coach. Toughness, attention to detail and a special teams program that gives me wood.

You get boners watching Kstate play football? Maybe I should check it out

Ignoring the last part I would say I agree. This board is going to be insufferable after they beat us by a couple scores in November.

 

[cyclones500]

I agree with those who put KSU above ISU, although my reasoning is mainly because KSU is 3-0 B12 and we're 2-1. Still almost a 2(a)/2(b) situation.

Result vs. 3 common opponents is a wash. Outside of those, ISU's quality of opponents is comfortably above KSU -- in-conference, Oklahoma State compared to KU; non-con, UL vs. Arkansas State ... although I'm still not convinced Louisiana is all that good (certainly not at *bad* Sun Belt team).

Vegas opened with WVU -5 against KSU. Line has moved to -3, but still pretty surprising.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Wat? What is with you Surly fanbois? KSU was outplayed by crap Texas Tech at home. We destroyed Tech,

We BEAT OU. KSU got several nice fluky plays to beat OU.

JFC, KSU is not better than ISU.

Sorry my opinion is so offensive.

 

[Statefan10]

Who knows whether they're better than us. We haven't played them yet and they now go into their toughest stretch of games for the year. We'll know a hell of a lot more about them in the next two weeks and then obviously when we see them in Ames in late November.

 

[Drew0311]

Dowling should be 10th and Kansas 11th.
