Include Emporia State, so 30 games prior to Arch madness. What's your prediction?

We have 31 games if you include Emporia State :nonchalance:
I will stick with my 29-2 prediction which earned derision last month. -
Whoa! I thought I was a sunshine pumper, but I've got us for 5 losses pre Arch-Madness.Livin the dreamComment

27-3, with two in conference and one OOC. 30 wins going into the NCAA tournament.Comment

I hate making predictions.......Comment

I'd like to change my prediction.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

4 games in and you can make an even better prediction now? Lol I would at least wait for the first loss and get a few more games in the season before backpedaling...Originally posted by Kung Wu View Post"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said.

Based on the 4-0 record, I think Kung Wu is going to predict an undefeated season!!!Originally posted by shockerfan View PostLivin the dreamComment

Oh well in that case I like the optimism! Hope it rubs off! Lol ;)Originally posted by wufan View Post
At least they can't keep talking about Kentucky having an undefeated season. So why not SHOX? Lol"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said. "He said he was going to be a Shocker forever." -- RIP Guy, you WILL indeed be a Shocker forever!Comment

Not sure why you're standing on a soap box, but yeah, I think watching 5 games I know a lot more about this team than I did when I voted in this poll without watching even one practice.Originally posted by shockerfan View Post
I overestimated this team by probably two losses. That's not Chicken Little The Sky Is Falling. That's just realizing our bigs are going to take a little longer to gel than I had hoped. They are going to be a little streaky for more games than I initially guessed.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

At 5 losses only 7% were more pessimistic than me and 10% as pessimistic. I would up it to 6 four games in maybe even 7. It would be interesting to do this poll as a snapshot at various points throughout the season.Shocker Nation, NYCComment

Still saying 29-2. We are getting our worst out of the way early.
There will be lots of "mini trends" over three and four game stretches this year. Fans have a tendency to extrapolate way more from those spans than they should. Last season provides a beautiful illustration of this point.
Right now we are in one of those lackluster parts of the season. Soon enough we will play back to back games that will have people coming back to this thread and wondering how they ever had any doubts about our dominance. Then we will suck it up for a game or two and the sky will be falling, etc.
I think we will get significantly better as the season progresses, and the MVC blows hard this year. We are still a tank driving over a field of daisies.Comment

Just for perspective, RealTime RPI has W&M at 172 Sagarin 228) and Tenn St at 227 (Sagarin 239). Middle of MVC in terms of rankings
RPI Sagarin
53 Wichita St. 28 59 Missouri State 97
60 Southern Ill. 172 113 Loyola (IL) 202 119 Bradley 143 190 Drake 183 250 Illinois St. 130 273 Northern Iowa 70 291 Indiana St. 67 299 Evansville 121
Kansas State is #211.
As you can see, wouldn't put much stock in either rating scheme, but for a flavor, these teams are not scum-of-the-earth."I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet.

Yeah, RPI is not even on the radar right now. Especially looking at Indiana State's, which I'm guessing will climb a little bit after today.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

If our remaining games were against the same level of teams we have played so far there would be a good chance we could go undeated.
But, that is not the case, and it gets significantly more difficult from here out. I will guess that we will win 26 games.
Run another poll just prior to our first conference game so that we actually have something realistically to base any decision on.Comment
