Currently the Kansas State Wildcats are 3-3 (0-3 in conference)
The positive news is this:
Our opponents TCU, OSU and OU have only 1 loss (OU against Texas). Our last three games (WVU, KU, ISU) are against teams that are currently 5-13 and all three will be in front of purple crowds (including Lawrence). I still will pick us to win those 3 games and of course that would make us bowl eligible.
If any of you have watched Texas and Texas Tech, you would realize that both teams have plenty of issues of their own. Texas has QB problems and Texas Tech has defensive problems. We have seen our offense move the ball at times despite questionable play calling and bad QB play. Those two games I would project us to be small underdogs primarily because we are on the road.
Did you know that West Virginia, Kansas State, Iowa State, Kansas, and Texas Tech are all giving up over 6.6 yards per play in conference play.... some of that is because WVU and KSU have probably played most of the best offenses already.
Baylor is a Thursday night game at home... I am still expecting a big crowd and while we are the underdog it is certainly possible that we could upset them if we can get a few turnovers.
My preseason projection of 8 wins is still possible but 7-5 would probably be my best guess.
Win 3 home games where we should be favored and get 2 minor upsets and we can get to 8-4.
Let's get it done!!!
