Don't know if this has been posted yet, but here is what College Football News had to say about our 2007 schedule:
Iowa State
Realistic best case record with this schedule: 8-4
Barring total disaster worst case record: 3-9
Realistic record: 5-7
Three home games to start the year (Kent State, Northern Iowa and Iowa), along with a winnable road date at Toledo, means the potential is there for a nice start. However, the Cyclones have a three-game road run going to Nebraska and Texas Tech after playing the Rockets, and that’s followed up by Texas, Oklahoma, and a road game at Missouri. Yeesh. Things ease up late getting both Kansas teams along with Colorado.
Iowa State
Aug. 30 Kent State
Sept. 8 Northern Iowa
Sept. 15 Iowa
Sept. 22 at Toledo
Sept. 29 at Nebraska
Oct. 6 at Texas Tech
Oct. 13 Texas
Oct. 20 Oklahoma
Oct. 27 at Missouri
Nov. 3 Kansas State
Nov. 10 Colorado
Nov. 17 at Kansas
- Almost certain win
- Likely loss
- Could go either way
I like that they think we are going to be in most of our games and give us the benefit of calling the others "likely losses". They also listed ISU with having the 2nd toughest schedule in the Big 12 North.
