Assuming we beat our OOC cupcake which gets us to 4 wins, we're going to have to beat a Mississippi State team that beat South Carolina by two touchdowns and lost to LSU in Death Valley by a score of 23-20. Mississippi State will still be favored in the game against us and still has the better roster and coaches. State isn't the team they were the past couple years, but they are still the better team. A bad team doesn't go on the road and have a chance to beat LSU.
After that we would have to beat a Georgia team that will likely be favored by close to double digits against us, or get a win on the road against a Missouri team that plays really well at home and will be favored to win.
Basically we're going to have to win a couple games where we won't be favored if we want to get to a bowl, so I'm not sure why going bowling seems like such a sure thing to so many of our fans right now, especially after the numerous blunders we've seen from this coaching staff since they stepped on campus.
Although I am not one to pump the sunshine, I will submit several objections to your response.
First, there's no reason to "assume" a win against our OOC cupcake because it is not an "assumed" win. It's a given. This is not a typical midmajor cupcake. It's not a typical FCS cupcake. Austin Peay is to the rest of the FCS football world as we are to Alabama. Austin Peay went 0-11 last year, against FCS competition. We will be favored by 50 points, if a line is even allowed for this game. No need to assume a win; just write this one down. This is not a game against EKU. Not even close.
Second, while Mississippi State may be favored against us, which is questionable, it is odd to say that a bad team doesn't almost beat LSU while yet losing to South Alabama- at home. In any event, you can't have it both ways. If the Bulldogs are this great team, and we have to expect to lose, then how can you deny that we have an excuse to lose to such a powerhouse, that almost beat LSU? We lose this game and you will rip the UK team, and I'm sure you will, but you are now telling us that's it uphill and almost insurmountable battle from the start?
Next, Mizzou is not a good team- at all. 0-3 against the FBS, and if LSU is the measuring stick for MSU, then how about Mizzou losing to LSU by 35:
Georgia is not beyond the realm of possibility for a win.
But if these teams are so good, how are you going to complain, if we do, in fact, lose?
