pretty easy website to use.. tally up everyone's finishes for the season.

I would post my expectations but because of the file upload glitch.. basically ISU 11-1 with a loss to OU in regular season.

That's pretty bold having WVU at 10-2. They're a good team, but 7-2 in conference with their only losses being to ISU and Oklahoma? I don't think they're that good as they will likely drop at least one of three between Texas, TCU, and Oklahoma State. 3 through 5, maybe even 6, is so interchangeable as I think WVU, Texas, TCU, and Oklahoma State are all super close.

Having said that, I'd be perfectly happy with an 11-1 season and a chance at redemption against Oklahoma for the conference title. You'd have to think in this circumstance that a 12-0 Oklahoma team would be number 1 or 2 in the nation and an 11-1 Iowa State team would be no lower than 6. A win over Oklahoma in the conference championship would practically guarantee us a playoff spot.

yeah the middle of the pack will be tough in conference this year most likely and we could honestly slip up vs any of them as well.. I just think WVU will have a good enough defense and just enough offense to get it done with their schedule having OSU and Texas at home with TCU on the road, TCU will have both sides be decent but not great, OSU has some questions, and Sarkisian will have a rude awakening to the Big 12.

If we avoid key injuries (particularly Purdy, Hall, Kolar, Hutchinson, Rose and McDonald), I will be somewhat disappointed if we don't go 10-2 or better during regular season. That's what we would need to stay in Top 10 (which is where we will start the season).

We were 8-2 in the regular season last year and would have likely been 10-2 if not for Covid. So that really should be the standard going into this season.
 
I did my predictions for the conference and here’s what I’ve got:
Oklahoma 11-1 (8-1) loss to Oklahoma State
Iowa State 11-1 (8-1) loss to Oklahoma
West Virginia 10-2 (7-2)
Oklahoma State 9-3 (6-3)
Kansas State 7-5 (4-5)
TCU 7-5 (4-5)
Texas 6-6 (5-4) I really hope Texas falls into the bottom half of the conference so badly!)
Texas Tech 4-8 (2-7)
Baylor 3-9 (1-8)
Kansas 1-11 (0-9)
