Conference plays kicks off in full force tomorrow with the corn v. the slavers.
Let's bang through everything-
KU will feel good on the 18th of October if all of the following things happen -
KU beats the clones and buffs- This is the most important thing that can happen
the corn lose to missery
missery loses to ok state
corn lose to T tech
Sharpie gets healthy (he won't play this weekend against iowa st)
bonus event -
ou beats texass
Some other things that have changed the landscape of the conference-
Dez Bryant being ruled ineligible is a big blow to Ok st, hopefully they can beat Mizz on the 17th, other than that I think this news is going to allow them to drop a game they aren't supposed to.
Ok St is in front of KU in most bowl projections so this would help KU in getting to a better bowl game.
Misc-
Bryant being ruled ineligible should really strengthen the campaigns of Briscoe and Kerry Meier to be first team all conference receivers. Ryan Broyles for OU being out doesn't hurt either.
Oh hell let's look at who will factor in that mix-
Jordan Shipley - UT
He'll put up some stupid numbers as Colt McCoy's boy toy
Baylor, Iowa St, NU and CU - have nobody that will factor into the first team chat for all conference WR
OU doesn't really have anybody either with Broyles being out and a line that is struggling
Brandon Banks is a long shot from K-sucks, he's got 3rd team written all over him
Leong from Tech has a chance if he blows up but I don't think he's got it in him
Danario Alexander from Missery could be in the discussion as a deep threat and a lighter schedule from the south
A&M doesn't really have the QB to get the ball to a guy to make him an elite WR
Unless Dex Bryant only misses 1 game, he's going to be out of the discussion as well
So it really does appear to be a 3 horse race for the 2 spots between Shipley, Briscoe and Meier. Briscoe and Meier could split some votes so look for Shipley to take one spot and Briscoe will have the yards and TD's to take the other spot, Kerry will be a 2nd team all conference pick but have 1st team talent.
that was fun to write.
Looking forward to KU coming out strong this weekend.
