.500 sounds rough. but take 2, 3 W's off the table with the shortening of the non-conference and it doesn't feel 'horrible'.

don't care what everyone else says: when you have to play EVERYBODY, the degree of difficulty goes up a smidge.

It has KSU beating:
Arkansas State 84%
Texas Tech 62%
Kansas 75%
West Virginia 51%
Oklahoma State 54%

I honestly would have flipped OSU and ISU given the limited fans because I don't think home field advantage will matter much this year.

But I think 5 wins seems a reasonable expectation.. With restrictions this year, 5 wins gets a bowl game. And as KITNooga said, we would have had 2 more OOC wins and I was thinking a 7 win season was a good expectation.

Are there going to be any bowl games other than the final 4?

[DeereCatFan]

Good question. I've not seen anything on bowl games. Really wasn't sure they'd do the championship either. Guess we'll see where it goes. Be nice if they have them. Probably some different matchups and venues if b1g and Pac 12 continue to sit out.

I think we will likely beat Arkansas State, Texas Tech, KU, West Virginia, TCU, and Baylor, with toss up games vs ISU, and OSU, and likely lose to OU and Texas. I say 7-3, 6-4 at worst.

i am really anxious to see how this o'line comes together. looking at their size and backgrounds, they look to me to have the potential to be like ck's bison lines, dominating. we'll see pretty early v. arky state how the run game goes. i have no worries about anything else other than that lineup. the rest of the position groups look to be experienced, deep, and talented.

They need to be able to move and quick if they are going to run block.

I think the OL will be pretty good and I think KSU will win 6 games and possibly 7. I feel good about this team if they can stay healthy.

I agree and Coach Kli is very positive about the line, I think they'll be as good as last year's line and likely better at some point in the season.
