Interesting Games Today?

@jayballer67 saw rumblings that he will play barring another set back. But can’t remember where I saw it.
-
Texas is really trying to give this game to KState. Crazy number of mistakes.
-
Absolutely embarrassing. This should be 3 scores for UT
-
I went out back to do some picking up for winter it was 27-7 comeback in and it’s tied at 27 all in about 5 game minutes
-
Do we need ksu to win?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 just the opposite
-
Hahahahahahahaha oh kickers
-
Great drive by KSU…right up to the field goal.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 There is NEVER a time we need K-State to win. Very never.
-
KState got a break since Quinn Ewers is out. The backup QB Murphy didn’t look good at all.
-
I don’t know how we get in. Looks impossible, even if we win out.

-
Missou is putting up a good fight, but I’m all in on a Dawgs victory.

KU needs help and all of this is based on KU winning out.
OSU and Texas both have the tiebreaker over KU and would need to lose twice. A KSU win over Texas today would’ve helped KU a lot. Texas has to drop 2 of 3 to BYU, ISU, and Texas Tech for KU to jum them.
OSU is going to beat OU which is also bad for Kansas because now KU needs OSU to drop two of three to UCF, Houston, and BYU for KU to jump them.
Texas and Oklahoma St. seems like the most likely title game match up at this point if KU were to win out. If KU loses, Iowa St. is very much in the conversation because they beat OSU and have that tiebreaker over the Cowboys.
So bottom line, it’s very unlikely KU reaches the B12 title game because it’s very unlikely Texas or OSU lose 2 of their last 3 and that’s assuming KU wins out.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 my youngest kept telling me we need ksu to win. Texas looks completely different w/Murphy! JD didn’t even make trip!
-
@stoptheflop KSU beating Texas would’ve helped us because we can still beat KSU. OU beating OSU also would’ve helped us.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 it all depends on whom else wins and loses. Not sure what the tie breaker is but could potentially see 3 or 4 2 loss teams in 2nd place.
-
It sucks we played the top 3.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Right now we have played 6 of the top 8 conference teams and one of those 8 is us. I personally think OSU and KSU got unbelievably great draws schedule wise
-
@kjayhawks Just remember we made the Orange Bowl with Reesing largely because we didn’t play OU that year and MU had to play them in the B12 champ. (Always infuriates MU fans to casually mention that, BTW. )

It doesn’t sound like it’ll end up being too complicated at this point. KU is very unlikely to make it to Dallas because the two losses are to the two teams ahead of them. KU would need at least one of them to lose 2 of their last 3. Texas might actually be the better bet right now with Ewers out because they still have to play in Ames in 2 weeks. Their other two games are at TCU next weekend and Texas Tech Thanksgiving weekend.
OSU meanwhile has 3 games against newcomers left at UCF, at Houston, and BYU. I don’t see them dropping two of those three games so I would call OSU the safest bet to make Dallas right now.
There are 5 teams currently tied for third with a 4-2 record. Two of those teams will lose at least one more time guaranteed because Oklahoma and West Virginia play next weekend in Norman, and KU and KSU play in two week in Lawrence. KU is in a good spot against all of those teams because we have the tiebreaker over OU and ISU because of our head to head wins and over WVU because of a better overall record. If we end up with the same record as KSU, then we have lost at least one more game.
Bottom line is it would be very unlikely for KU to make the Big 12 title game at this point.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Don’t be too disappointed if we don’t. Unless you were thinking we had a shot at it back in August…
-
@mayjay That process that gave us the Orange Bowl instead of them has always amused me. Basically it was we like KU better than MU even though MU deserves it more than KU.
-
@nuleafjhawk I think we are right there, with osu. Just the missed offsides calls. I noticed they missed several calls against osu at home yesterday with ou. Blatant PI!
-
@mayjay probably the only good thing I’ll remember about Lew!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 @mayjay @nuleafjhawk I actually see why we were chosen over them, they had 2 losses to our one. Our one loss was at neutral site to a top 10 team by one score with us missing 3 or 4 field goals. Missouri also lost to a good ranked team twice but got destroyed both times. I think we had a shot against OU that season if we beat Missouri. We went to Norman in the next season with no defense and they won by 10 and was possession game late.
