I'm still so frustrated over the game Saturday night. What a missed opportunity for this team to let the SEC know it's rising.
Poor O line play, continued inconsistency by Towles, dropped balls by receivers.
Raucous crowd, hype, streak, all wasted.

Missouri is beatable for sure, I consider this to be a must win at this point to keep any form of early season momentum alive.

I'm beginning to think we can never get over the hump.

I'm in the must win camp for Missouri as well.

I don't know that Mizzou is a must win. They have a solid defense and we will likely struggle with that offensively.

I think any less than 5 wins is a disappointment and a missed opportunity. There's a lot of season left to hash things out though. And we may end up playing some of the better defenses in the conference in the front end of the schedule.

I figured from the get go that this was a 4-5 year project for Stoops. A new OC maybe sets us back a little in that regard.

I think if anything this stretch has shown just how bad Joker hurt the program in his time as HC.

I think 6 is the bottom number for this year and 8 is not an unreasonable target. I think dropping 0% and 100% and moving in increments of 20% - to negate sitting on any 50/50 coin flips - this is where I project things to fall out.

W La La
W @ SC
L UF
? MU = 60%
W EKU = 80%
? AU = 60%, but started at 40% pre season
? @ MSU = 60%
? UT = 60%
@ UGA = 40%
@ VU = 80%
W FCS = 80%
? UL = 60%, but started at 40% pre season

To get to BB's 5 wins all UK needs is…
La La, SC, EKU, VU, and the FCS game - just not very good

6 wins means picking off a 60% and a Mizzou wins gets that early. If that is the UL win at the end for 6 that seems kinda disappointing as Line Beards are 0-3 right now. UGA is my hard pick and Vols and State seem the next level down at this point. The two I feel best for upsets are MU and AU but as of today both feel pretty close.
