The Tulane loss made us better. It made Martinez better and the coaching staff better. It served a purpose. Besides, Tulane turned out to be a pretty good football team, so in retrospect, it wasn't a terrible loss.
Injuries are a part of football. Every team deals with them. We did the best we could.
We are not in the playoffs because we didn't earn it. Tulane will earn it if they beat us on Saturday. The only thing we can do is beat them and keep them out of the playoffs, and that is possible. It's been a very good season, and there shouldn't be any regrets.

I am of the opinion the Tulane loss meant little to nothing.
It did not stop us from possibly winning the Big XII Saturday.
We were not going to be selected to the Playoffs with 2 losses.
If we make it to the Sugar Bowl the Tulane loss meant nothing.

I believe that if we used more of our play book to win with Tulane we may not have beaten OU....today we would beat Tulane.
A 2 loss team would not be in the picture of the play offs. If OU beat us where would be?
Sometimes it is better to lose some games in order to win more important games...

I agree. And, if you had the ability to beat the opponent you are playing RIGHT NOW, why would you hold back on the off chance that it gives you a slight edge against next week's opponent?tmcats wrote: ↑November 30th, 2022, 11:30 ami don't buy that logic for a minute.

5Tulane cost Kstate a 10 win regular season. Which would have been $600 to me. LOL. But as another poster said, it probably woke us up a bit. Probably in the scheme of things wasn't bad as you point out.WildcatEngineer wrote: ↑November 30th, 2022, 10:58 amI am of the opinion the Tulane loss meant little to nothing.

7No one in this conference would have beaten UT with two weeks of rest and preparation behind them. We just happen to be the unlucky opponent. UT is better than their record. A win over Tulane would not have bolstered K-State any higher than currently ranked. We still loss to TCU and UT.
Looking down at Tulane, who is a good team, because of their Group of 5 status is the same reason the Cats are the 5th highest 2-loss team behind Bama, Tennessee, Penn State and Clemson. The Tulane loss at worse, may have prolonged us getting ranked so high, but a win would not have placed us any higher than we subsequently are.
