CJBas 4 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Obviously, I'd like us to win out. But let's say we lose the Iron Bowl (I know, I know; but just for the sake of argument) and we are otherwise undefeated. Then, let's say either UGA or USCe -- both of which we will have beaten) -- beat Bama in the SECCG. So, we have one loss, but we have beaten the eventual SEC champ. Now let's say that K-State wins the Big 12. I think we've got a pretty good argument for the final four. Well in your mind and mine yeah but for this year especially the committee is going to have to have no other recourse available to them if a 2nd SEC team gets in. They won't take a non champion over a conference champion. Suppose UGA wins the SEC (we have only 1 loss to Bama), Oregon wins the Pac 12, Michigan State wins the B1G, K-State wins the Big 12, and Clemson wins the ACC with another loss (so they've lost to, say, Louisville, and UGA). I think we get in with Oregon, UGA, and K-State. If Auburn loses to bama we will Not be in the playoff. bama can lost to Auburn and get in with losing their last outing, but this committee will not put Auburn in under such circumstances. They're already looking for ways to keep Auburn out as they're now talking about putting in the 'best' and not the most 'deserving' teams. Meaning Auburn could be 11-1 and not get in.

CJBas 4 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Sometimes a week off is not a good thing for game speed execution. Of course, KSU had the same amount of time off so that may be a wash. The KSU run defense seems to be pretty good giving up 87 yards per game. Their defense is giving up an average of 219 passing yards per game. The offense runs about 60% of the time with Waters, the QB leading the team in rushing by a large margin. We typically struggle with a running QB. Hopefully, Coach Ellis can dial up a defense for Waters this week. He is an average passer completing 61% of his passes with 2 TDs and 1 INT. He spreads it around to several different receivers but it appears the deep threat is Lockett. I feel good that we will be able to move the ball against this defense. I hope our defense can slow down Waters enough to get out of Manhattan with a huge W in front of a national audience. I don't think K State has a prayer of even slowing down Auburn's running game, much less stopping it.Back in the summer the press was making a bigh deal out of this game, but as it gets closer I think they realize K St is going to be beaten badly, so they now say nothing and declare them to be another cupcake...similar to how they did with Ark.

Gallonofmilk 0 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 All will be taken care of as long as we show up Thursday. I'd really like to end up playing Oklahoma at the end of the season so blowing teams out or not isn't that important, I just want the W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AubTiger14 0 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 We must: Keep Waters in the pocket Make someone else beat us other than Lockett. Take the crowd out of it early Avoid giving up huge, momentum changing plays and turning the ball over I suspect if we do these things, the strength of our lines and athletes at the skill positions will over match KSU. I believe our guys will be motivated because nobody is really talking about us, and this is our first chance to shine on a national stage. I think we've looked pretty sluggish at times so far. I especially felt that against San Jose we looked like we were just going through the motions. If we come out sharp and focused, I think we could run away with it.

toddc 13,194 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I believe our d-line and Garner rotating, as well as big linebacker play, will make the difference in the fourth qtr.. I think it's hard fought til the last qtr.; and we blow the doors off with Cam-Pain running downhill, and Grant running outside, and K-State gasping for air!!!

I agree except that you left NM out of the running at the end. He breaks at least one long run in the 4th to break their backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 After watching the porkers run all over a decent Texas Tech squad, I can safely say that we should win this game, and do so impressively. We will be focused and ready to take care of business no doubt. If we can shut down a team with the biggest offensive line we will see all season, we should be able to come out of Kansas with a nice win. I fully believe we have the best talent on the field on both sides of the ball. KSU does have a good coaching staff, but we have the better no doubt. We will take care of business and will come home with a nice win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG- 6'4, 310 lbs. C- 6'4, 300 lbs. RG- 6'3, 290 lbs. RT- 6'5, 305 lbs. That's according to their depth chart. So no, not the largest we'll see this season by a decent margin.
