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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
