[QUOTE="HurdyGurdyEer, post: 129360753, member: 1746848"] We may not go undefeated. But this team will not wilt during the last 1/3 of the season unless there are numerous significant injuries. We need, of course, Sky to stay healthy. We have too many leaders who understand what the B12 is like. They won't wilt. I really like this team's chance to go 6-0. And I like our chances against TCU/Baylor. But there are other sharks in the water too. Let's say we are 7-1 after October. Texas is a struggling team. But it is loaded with talent and we play them just about the time struggling teams start getting their act together. We won't wilt. But we'll stumble against someone(s) I think we should expect this team to finish 10-2. 9-3 wouldn't be a disaster. And if the ball bounces our way a few times in key situations we very well could end up 11-1 or even 12-0. I think that after October West Virginia and Play-off will sometimes be mentioned in the same sentence. I just think this team has the pieces in place to win the close games that it lost last year. But Saturday's game could very well prove to be the game that determines the conference championship. It would be the tie-breaker between OU and us if bothlead the conference with identical won/loss records. [/QUOTE]
