Yes I'm on crack. If we can get a W at Texas, then I do think we have a fighting chance to beat KSU, KU, Texas Tech, and West Virginia. Assuming that all comes to fruition, then we'll all have to admit Paul Rhoads was right about this being a bowl team and I'm not sure how to handle that.
6 wins
- Thread starter nocsious3
- Start date
There's not a game I don't think we can win but winning all of those seems like a real big stretch. Give us the last two and we're going bowling.
I thought we had a chance at 6 halfway through the 3rd quarter against OKST. I'm back to reality now. I'm hoping this team can stay competitive the rest of the season and end up with 4 wins. Build the foundation for a bowl trip next year.
I'd just like to beat purple Kansas this year.
You can't deny the improvement shown by this team, but until they prove they can play a complete game against a conference opponent, 6 wins is crazy talk.
I'm just kind of hoping 3 in the W column to match last year.
Wouldn't like to be going backwards..

We were a bowl team last year, except we didn't have the coaching.
I assume we're going to win out until otherwise proven.
5-1 to finish the season seems like a tall order. But if they figure out how to close out games in the 4th quarter, keep improving every week, and stay relatively healthy, then it isn't a totally crazy notion. And if Rhoads was right and this is a bowl team, so what? He's not here anymore, so why rehash the past?
They will need everyone to stay healthy but it is possible. Texas is winnable as are 4 of the last 5 (I don't see OU happening). By winnable I don't mean "should win" but "can win". But to get ALL of them is a pretty tough row to hoe.
I'd say about a 5% chance to get 6 wins. Yes, I am sayin' there's a chance. Just not a great one. I would set a competitive over/under at 4.5 though.

a whole lot of things would have to go right to get to six wins. First thing that needs to happen is that the TO margin is going to have to change directions. Not saying it is impossible, but let's get to 3 or 4 wins before we get too excited.
Kind of amazing how close this team is to being 4-2.
And yet it is 1-5.
There's always next year

We will be doing well to just beat the over 3.5 wins for the year. Had a chance but didn't come together soon enough for a bowl game this year. I suppose there is a REALLY slim chance that they could get 5 wins and still go to a bowl game.
Is it possible? Sure. I wouldn't put 5 bucks on it, though. I am thinking 4 wins, which is double what I was thinking after the SDSU game.
Sorry, phone issues here. Anyways hate to put a ceiling on things but I could probably live with wins over UT, Tech or KSU, and murdering Kansas by 30 points. Play WVU and OU close at home. While thats still a lot of big 12 losses, if the majority were close it would give us reason for optimism.
