I expect nothing but complete destruction of Iowa State this weekend.

[Mizzou]

kU ranked ahead of us is crazy.

Yep, revenge game. We should destroy them.

[Warpticon]

If Florida International ever played the Wolverines, the game would be FlInt-Michigan.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Yeah, V Tech and WVU have worse resumes than we do too.

[Flames24Rulz]

Illinois should roll all over Ball State.

 

Those ranked games look real good. Another good Thursday nighter this week as well.

Oh, you would think so. :wink:

 

I think Illinois will win this game as well, though Ball State has a tendency to decide to actually play to their significant level of talent when they play these games. It should be a pretty close one unless we play as bad as we did last week. I still can't believe they got out of Kalamazoo with a win as sloppy as they played.

 

And yeah, this week will be nuts. I'd be curious to know when the last time was that every top 10 team in action was playing another ranked team. Might never have happened.

S. Dakota State at UC Davis (5 pm)

 

We're gonna get killed and will kiss the consecutive winning season's streak goodbye.

[snoodmonger]

kU ranked ahead of us is crazy.

 

Boo-hoo. We're 7-0. You're not.

 

Advantage Jayhawks.

We wore leather helmets!

Ok, grossly incorrect and exaggerating information presented in that video aside, that was pretty damn funny. :lol:

If Florida International ever played the Wolverines, the game would be FlInt-Michigan.

 

That wouldn't be nearly as cool as the time Bradley play Pittsburgh in basketball.

[Derwood]

is there an early line on the PSU/O$U game?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

kU ranked ahead of us is crazy.

 

Boo-hoo. We're 7-0. You're not.

 

Advantage Jayhawks.

 

Well you can say that because you've already pre-emptively posted the Mangino cupcakes picture.

[Andy]

is there an early line on the PSU/O$U game?

PSU +4 on madduxsports.com - seems low but OSU is non-dominant enough that things could turn in PSU's favor.

 

Also of note, Ball State +13.5 against Illinois, which is right around what I expect the margin to be.

[Mizzou]

kU ranked ahead of us is crazy.

 

Boo-hoo. We're 7-0. You're not.

 

Advantage Jayhawks.

And you've played crap teams, that's why you're 7-0. Come on, you know that kU isn't near as good as their ranking indicates they are.

This week should be a good sign of how good they actually are. I don't think A&M is all that great, but winning at Kyle Field is never an easy task. If KU goes in and gets killed, it would show they are overrated. If they lose a close one, it'll show they are a respectable team. If they blow A&M out, then I get a little more nervous for the game in Kansas City.

Ah yes, the Brad Pitt game. :D

Funny, that's what everyone said when we went to Manhatten. Then, it was we hadn't left the state. So we went to CU, where Oklahoma lost, and we won there. Now, it's wait and see till they play at aTm. Give me a break. We've got a better road win than you guys (two of them, actually.) And we haven't, you know, lost a game yet. We deserve to be ranked ahead of you. Do I think we're a better team? Probably not, but that's not really how the rankings work. A big part of it is who's better. The rest of it is who's played better and who's won.

hard to say, but road wins against K-State and Colorado are pretty solid wins. I do think that Mizzou is one of the top 10 teams in the country.

[Derwood]

I'm waiting for an SEC homer to explain to me again why the Big Ten and Big East and Big 12 beating up on each other = weak conferences but the SEC beating up on each other = OMGBESTCONFERNCEEVAR!!11!1!

It's more impressive that kU beat them on the road than if they would have done it at home, sure. But I'm not overly impressed with a team who's two biggest wins on the year have been against teams that are 4-4 and 4-3.

 

We've already dominated two Top 25 teams this year; the only game that kU has against a Top 25 team is the last week of the season -- against us.

I hope you're not counting Nebraska, who's been exposed as an average football team, as a top 25 team.

You're being generous by calling Nebraska average.

 

And Mizzou, you have to use the rankings of where the teams are now and right now your team has played exactly one top-25 team which was Oklahoma.
