Fi I rst, I checked t?thhe team's current record. Wins and losses are a HUGE factor, obviously. You gotta win to get a good bowl, right?
Then, I dove into the Big 12 standing.smaet s. Where we sit in the conference matters a ton. The higher up, the better our chances for a decent bowl game. It is not simple, there are too many other teams.
Next, I started looking at some of the "expert" predictions. You know, the big sports websites and all that. I don't always agree with them, but it's good to see what the general consensus is. I just casually browsed through those - don't take them too seriously, though!
- I compared several different prediction sites.
- I paid attention to any mention of specific bowl tie-ins with the Big 12.
- I looked for patterns or common predictions across multiple sources.
After that, I considered the team's recent performance. Are they on a hot streak? Did they have any big, impressive wins? Or maybe some bad losses? That stuff can influence the selection committee, I think.
Finally, I kind of just went with my gut. Years of watching this team gives you a feel for these things, you know? It's not scientific, but it's part of the fun!
My Prediction Process
I put all of that together: the record, the standings, the "expert" talk, the recent games, and my own intuition.
It's all just a guess, really. But hey, that's what makes college football so exciting! Go Jayhawks!
