247 just tweeted that they are predicted to win their remaining games by an average of 17 points.

Remaining schedule:

vs Tulane
@ Baylor
bye
vs Iowa State
vs Texas
@ #18 Kansas State
vs Texas Tech
@ #9 Oklahoma State
vs #20 TCU
@ Kansas
vs West Virginia


Ohio State was obviously the big hurdle, at Oklahoma State is the only real tough game I see left.

Favored but k st or tcu could take them.

Long season. Bumps, bruises, sprains, gf's, bar fights, dog died.
Lucky bounce.
Gust of wind.

Guess it doesn't matter if we are "buying" them. Not much in their way to the playoffs. Can they beat Alabama, Clemson, USC, Penn State........I guess.

They're bound to have a letdown game like most others teams that have ever played. Maybe @ Kansas State seeing as it's a week after Texas.

Yeah, what's the backup situation if Baker gets rocked?

@ KState, @ Okla State, TCU and WVU intrigue me (Granted I have only seen TCU & WVU highlights and not a full game yet). I'm willing to say that they drop one of those four games.

Gotta beat Tulane first. Then I'll buy or sell.

They will drop one of their last 4 games. Playing in Manhattan is always tricky too.

I need to see them get past Tulane this weekend before I deem them championship caliber.

OU/Okie state will be the test.

Certainly not a terrible remaining schedule. I'm buying in. Great quarterback, strong defense and they easily have the most impressive win so far.

It's only a 2 horse race in the Big 12. I doubt they go undefeated but if they can beat OK st as convincingly as they did OSU, they will get in.

Would not be surprised if they're still celebrating the Ohio State win and come out flat this weekend.

OK State comes earlier this year (and they have to travel to Stillwater).

Then they host TCU the following week and TCU has given them trouble in the past.

The only other upset chance could be at K-State where the Purple Wizard always makes things fun.

Don't sleep on @okie lite with the immediate next game being vs TCU.

Could see them losing either of these.

I think they're the best team in college football at the moment. Legitimate heisman candidate at the most important position in football, with a strong defense and playmakers all over the field.

With that being said, I could see them cough up one of the TTU/KState/OSU/TCU matchups. Playing in Manhattan and then obviously in Stillwater will be tough games for them.
