Jayhawk football schedule. Wissox Forecast.

Disclaimer: I know little about these opponents! Did a little research. Still know little.
Fresno, August 23 (wow, that’s early) Early season jitters, but solid 21 point win.
Wagner Aug 29. (wow, 2 games before September). Nothing but a blowout would be panic inducing.
Missouri. Sept. 6. First real competition. Away. As much as I hate to say it, I have little confidence here.
West Virginia Sept 20. Home game. Last years meltdown avenged. 3-1
Cincy Sept 27 Home Bears of all kinds not good at football. We win. 4-1. Only 2 games to bowl eligibility.
UCF. Oct 4 Away. Athlon has them dead last in the league so I’ll give us our 5th win and a gaudy 5-1 record.
TTech. Oct 11 Away No chance. 5-2
Silo Tech Oct 25 We’ve been so close. Home field advantage never seems to make a difference against these guys and they’re highly regarded. I want to pick us, but reality hits hard once again. 5-3
OkieSt Nov. 1. Home. Should be a fairly easy one. Bowl Eligible! 6-3
Arizona. Nov 8 Away. They’ll be ranked. I think we lose. 6-4
Another 2 week layoff, the 3rd of the season.
At ISU. Nov 22. We’ve had their number. The coach everyone lists as the next great one to move on can’t beat Kansas. We’re in their head. 7-4
Utah. Nov 28 They’re supposed to be better than last years disappointing team but we want this win badly to go 6-3 in conference and play in a decent bowl game.
Another disappointing bowl-less season means Lance starts to feel the heat a little bit. The new OC was an exciting pick. Do our WR’s pick up the slack after the loss of the exciting playmakers from the past years? I think the key is there.
We are no longer to be overlooked in the league. Last season may cause some to do so but the magic of the refurbished stadium and an energized fan base leads to a nice season once again.

I like your positivity!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Don’t get used to it! How are you feeling about the season?
-
@wissox have no idea!
-
@wissox hey - someone hacked your account.
KU goes 12-0 - they skip the playoffs and go straight to the Super Bowl
-
@nuleafjhawk I think it was my wife. I’d never post such an optimistic outlook for KU football.
-
ESPN’s FPI has KU as the 4th best team in the Big 12 and predicting an 8-4 record.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 probably not a lot of KU football fans that would be upset with that
-
Lance’ll make em dance

I believe their FPI also has KU as the 3rd best chance to win the Big 12 likely because KU has a relatively soft conference schedule on paper. That was also true last year and we ended up with toughest conference schedule I believe.

Returning to a bowl game is a must with how much has been invested into football
-
@BShark Seems to be partially at the expense of the basketball team. Would be nice to have funds to allocate to the program I watch as opposed to football. Being great at one thing is way better than being mediocre at two.
-
@dylans hoping an investment in football now is an investment in basketball later.
-
@approxinfinity Maybe. I believe that is the goal. That is the model at other schools without the rich basketball history that KU has. I just hate breaking what is working in favor of doing what everyone else is doing. It would be best to hit up different donors (build your own support) for football as opposed to over taxing those that support the basketball team.

I just want to make a bowl game and beat our rivals on the gridiron. I think a bowl game is a must with the current state of the football program and the money dumped into it. I’m excited to see our new offensive coordinators in action. Old news of course but I was not even remotely impressed with Grimes at that position. I loved coach K and how he had so much going on presnap to bait the defense. We went from that to just hike it and run the play. I screamed at my TV repeatedly at the play calling and begged them to include Neal in the passing game much of the year. The last 4 games they finally did and we went 3-1 in those contest. I’m sorry but that’s not gonna work at Kansas maybe Texas or Alabama when you have the best athletes on the field every week. I’m gonna go 7-5 this year as my official prediction. We need JD 6 from a few years ago, he showed flashes last season but wasn’t the same.

Donors will have expectations this year. Fans as well with the new ticket model
-
My opinion, JD6 should be sharper. I expect meltdowns to not be so horrific. I think the offense gets back its mojo.
7+ wins
-
I think I agree entirely with @wissox except for Arizona. They seem to be in a bad spot. 10 wins is attainable which would put us in contention for a trip to Arlington.
-
@Kcmatt7 All I keep hearing how crisp, JD-6 has looked. Really focused. I think some people are overlooking KU this Season , I hope JD and Henderson become lethal.— I’m not shy I truly believe great chance for a Nine win Season.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Agree with me at your own peril!
