Review of Preseason Predictions

Big 12 North:

I said:
Nebraska
Colorado
Kansas
Missouri
Iowa State
Kansas State

Current:
K-State
Nebraska
Iowa State
Kansas
Missouri
Colorado

If you flip K-State and Colorado, it isn't half-bad...I thought CU's schedule would help them out. However, they have lost at home too many times. They pick up the big win over KU and get blown out at home by Mizzou. I also thought they would beat K-State on the road. K-State has impressed but they still have 3 games with potential Big 12 North contenders: KU, Missouri, and Nebraska. I doubt they finish on top: in fact, if they go 0-3 in that stretch, they might just finish in the bottom 2 after all. Kansas is entering their brutal stretch, but they are doing it from 4th place: I figured they'd be in 2nd at this point...not a good outlook for them. Nebraska is hanging near the top, pretty much just waiting for K-State to slip up, which I believe they will. Iowa State's O has improved, which I expected. I think the D still prevents them from being a serious contender at this point. I think they still have two losses left on the schedule. Missouri has shown flashes of greatness, but done so against the subpar competition on the schedule. In games against ranked opponents they went 0-3 with an average margin of loss of 22 points compared with a margin of victory of 21 over the rest of their opponents. It is a rebuilding year. However, no more ranked opponents on the schedule. If they win out, they will either win the North or be tied for the lead with Nebraska.

My updated predictions:
Nebraska
Missouri
Iowa State
Kansas State
Kansas
Colorado
