Final 5 games - What does your bitchass say?

[petscii 1,189]

I think we are going to win some games that we have no business winning and then lay an egg or two....

[VaLonghorn99 337]

My predictions after the Tech debacle are still spot on. I has us losing on the road to OSU. One more loss is going to occur likely to frogs. 9-10 wins will be great. Bowl eligibility for the minimum otherwise this season would be a complete fail. We're better but maybe lacking depth to finish out games. Of course we're starting -14 every game due to big 12 loser officials.

If we win 2 of the next 4 it will be a miracle 

[MonkeyDoughnut 9,944]

Sucks losing at OSU, but have to remember that is a tough road place to play for whatever reason. OSU and Sanders is 18-2 at home the past 4 years including winning  last 11 in a row there. (Last loss was to Texas 2 years ago)

All remaining are winnable and losable. I think we split 3-2, upside 4-1.

TCU is going to kick our ass. We’ll beat Kansas. Splitting Baylor and K State would be a pretty good outcome for this team. So 2-2 with 1-3 downside.

7-5 or 6-6. Fucking hooray. Better than 5-7 I guess.

8-4 would be a C. 6-6, 7-5 with ULM and UTSA on the schedule is a fail.

[Brothahorn 10,079]

I had us down for 3 losses including Bama. Well that's out the fucking window. There is at least one more loss on the schedule And since the coaches are invisible on Gameday, probably 2.

Any road game is a loss until they prove us otherwise.

Kansas and Baylor should be wins.  TCU will skull fuck us. K state is a toss up. We’ve had their number but who knows 

[The Ace of Aces 4,946]

I had us at 7-5 and don’t even think we get there. We won’t win @ Kansas, Daniels will run at will against us plus we can’t win a road game  Zero reason to pick us doing so until we actually do it  

Bowl eligibility imo will come down to the last game vs Baylor.

I don’t know. It feels like beating TCU and losing to Kansas is just about as likely as beating Kansas and losing to TCU. I don’t think any of these teams are that good or that bad. Including Texas.

8-4 was the ceiling this year. I think that's where we finish

[mdleast 8,016]

Agreed. 8-4 was what I thought was a realistic goal for us (with anything more being gravy) and that’s still in play. Had OSU as one of the losses. Still sucks tremendously to lose that game in the way that we did. Thought the media’s talk about us being a dark horse CFB team was always ridiculous. Our immediate goals were to get bowl eligible and thereby exceed last year’s abysmal season (one win left to check that off) and then try to compete for a spot in the confernce title game (which is at least still hypothetically in play).

I think with the way our defense is playing/being coached, 4-1 is most likely and realistic. 5-0 is absolutely possible but @Shitwater next week will be the deciding factor in which one of those happens. 3-2 is unacceptable.

Oof

My fave was the stat master saying the most likely scenarios were 5-0 or 4-1.

lulz

[DanTheHorn 4,849]

Well my prediction is done since I had us only losing one more.

[Pam Cummings 9,409]

I said 5-0 but i also said im out on Sark. Can i have partial credit?

[mdmost 42,167]

I got us at 3-2 but thought we would lose the road games and beat TCU. I still see us beating Kansas and Baylor. I don't think either is all that great. But then neither are we.

Sark earns his moniker with a split of the last 2.

The dipshit who made that graphic forgot about Oklahoma State.

Was going to post this very fact.  I don't think Kay State loses and I don't think UT wins out but regardless still need OSU to drop one but they are at least more likely to do so with the trip to the nexus of the suck this weekend.

Even if they won out - and Oklahoma is a pretty significant favorite in Bedlam given their shit play/QB situation of late - they’d have a K State problem in any three loss tiebreaker and would need KSU to lose both remaining games. Then again, so would Baylor.

Even Texas is on life support needing to get a KSU loss against WVU or Kansas. Not to mention actually winning their last two. Baylor and Oklahoma State’s chances are trivial at this point.

A KSU-OSU-Texas three way tie would come down to how the rest of the standings shake out. The tiebreaker in a three way is using results against teams going down the standings to eliminate someone. Would pretty much come down to whether Tech (eliminates Texas, sends KSU on H2H) or Kansas (eliminates OSU, sends Texas on H2H) finishes higher in the standings.

I see the point that maybe OSU should be included in a discussion of Texas’s changes, but Oklahoma State has essentially zero chance of going to Arlington. Same is true for Baylor. Even if they win out, they need bc KSU to drop both games and OSU to take another L.

I think 3-2 is a reasonable expectation, 4-1 would be very good, and 5-0 would be fantastic

Anything less than 3-2 and I'd be very disappointed.

I stand by this. Get over the Seven Win Steve hump and get to 8-4 and it's a sign of decent progress.

Lose of one of these next two and Seven Win Steve is on the hot seat.

I think 3-2, although 2-3 is likely as well. We have not shown a good enough defense to win consistently against good teams on the road.

2-3 looks most likely to me, as I think we'll probably win one of Kansas and Baylor.  That gets us to 7 win Steve.
