If we can improve our secondary play and get some more receivers to step up, I think we have a shot at a title game. Delaware St is pretty much a gimme. As for Big 12 play, I can see the following:

Kansas, Baylor are in the highest chance of easy wins.
Iowa State , Texas, and TT are highly likely wins.
The rest are in order for chances to win:
TCU ... I think we can exploit their secondary. (65%)
KSU ... Pressure on the QB will win this one (60%)
OSU ... We get them @ home and Gundy seems to have a WTF game ... I see it as this one. (51%)
OU ... I think we lose this one in Norman (40%)

I would take it and run. With young defense, 10 reg season wins would be awesome, and
would be Sugar Bowl.

I am pleasantly surprised at our defensive front. We lost some great players but there seems to be little drop-off. Hoping we get better CB play. OL has been impressive early. They pushed VT DL around.

It's going to be key for Gibson to trust those concerns so he can bring pressure and leave them on an island.

I think Ok State is a better football team than Oklahoma. Of course we play Ok State at home and Oklahoma on the road. I think we are better than every other team in the big XII with the exception of OU and Ok State (at this point in the season). I don't think we have any problems stopping a run heavy team. We will struggle, unless we improve, stopping a pass heavy team.

Our secondary needs a little bit of improvement, we can't miss field goals in the big games and we can't kick the ball out of bounds on kick offs. Gibson will make tweaks to the defense and have a good game plan for each opponent.

You said the same thing about Oklahoma State last season. I told you then that you were wrong, and I'm telling you now that you're wrong again.

I know posters here care when you're correct or wrong...thx for keeping us updated.

Hang on your every word.

So many crazy things will occur between now and the Championship game, could not even begin to guess who will be in it. Oklahoma looked awfully strong last night in just about every phase of the game. Certainly believe at this point they are heavy favorites. After OK. could be any number of teams. See no reason to believe if a couple breaks occur for the good guys we have an outside shot. Come to expect the unexpected. Secondary and depth in no particular order always a concern.

Better post!!
I would take this scenario in a heart beat. KSU will be tough because they are K-S-U and Dr. Snyder. Hoe we can gig them in Manhattan. OSU will be tough (51% is well within the margin of error).
