So does this mean 11-1 in the regular season?
win the conference championship followed by a bowl (TCU with a loss does not get CFI) for 13-1
But of course the loss gets vacated due to opponent cheating and the committee realizing TCU is now undefeated puts the frogs in the CFI to right a wrong, where TCU wins two and ends up 15-0.
Is this about right?



FYI, I always put undefeated regular season (so 12-0 this year)

Too complicated for me.

Losses to OU, OSU, TU and one other B12 opponent to be named later leave us with a disappointing 8-4 season and a ho-hum bowl.

We make VAST strides of improvement offensively & defensively we are really good...not DOMINANT...but really good. 2022 becomes the well earned beauty of a season we've been waiting for.

Wins:
Duquesne
SMU
Cal
Texas
T-Tech
West Vir.
K-State
Okla. St. (I think we could possibly lose this game, but my gut says win)
Baylor
Kansas

Losses:
Oklahoma (Heartbreaker with moments where it looks like we may win)
Iowa State (I think we could possibly win this game, but my gut says loss)

10-2 Regular Season
Bowl Game - 11-2 and we finished ranked #9

Posters begin to call for Patterson's head on a platter after we only beat Duquense 55-0, saying we should have scored 70.

Cal, despite having a good defense year in and year out under Wilcox, causes our fanbase to clean house on the offensive side of the coaching staff when we only manage to score 28 points on them in a 28-14 victory.

Posters again begin to call for Patterson's retirement or firing after we give up a long play on a trick play during SMU's opening drive, and that sentiment doesn't change even after we comfortably beat SMU 45-21.

We beat Texas again to move to 4-0 but posters firmly in the "we need a coaching change" camp say it doesn't matter because we always beat Texas and continue to post about other head coaching candidates in the post game threads.

Once again a trip to Lubbock results in a weird game in which we win in a weird fashion 35-21, but posters continue to say we need a coaching change because we beat a lame duck Texas Tech team with a lame duck coach.

Finally its prove it week, we are 5-0 and playing unbeaten Oklahoma in a prime time slot. "Lincoln owns Gary" claim the posters who have been clamoring all season for a head coaching change, as they point to past games where things have not been pretty. Oklahoma lives up to the preseason hype although we are more competitive in this game than we have been in Fort Worth lately but Oklahoma has just too many weapons and we fall 37-28. The coaching change faction of the board says we will never beat Oklahoma as long as we have Gary and we are destined to be an also ran to them until we make a coaching change.

We rebound and beat West Virginia 24-14 in a low scoring battle, which the coaching change crowd doesn't think is enough to change their minds. The coaching change crowd finds an alliance with those who only think we need to clean house with the offensive coaching staff, noting that this is the 2nd week in a row we failed to score 30 and we can't compete in this league unless we score 30 each game.

The road game at Kansas State stirs up the coaching change crowd, as they claim Kansas State is a far better coached team and far better fundamentally(ignoring the fact Kansas State finished 4-6 the previous year on a 5 game losing streak with a 40 point season ending loss to Texas) and how Kansas State has passed us up in the coaching department. Like against Texas Tech, we find a way to win an ugly 27-20 game, and for the 2nd week in a row a common ground is found between the clean house completely and clean house offensively crowd as they moan and complain about our offense despite moving to 7-1 on the year and remaining in the Top 25.

We come back home and easily beat a Baylor team still trying to find an offensive identity under Dave Aranda. But once again, we score under 30 points as we win 28-10. Despite an 8-1 record, the coaching change drumbeat festers on, as both crowds ignore the solid play all season from the defense, and fixate completely on the 30 point barrier.

The road game against Oklahoma State next up is the matchup of two fanbases who have QBs that are better running than throwing, and have a significant faction that wants to make complete coaching changes across the board despite solid performances on the year so far. This is a top 25 matchup between 1 loss teams and the winner gets the inside track to the Big 12 title game. It's a mirror image of each other and both fanbases have a faction of fans who want their team to lose so they can inch closer to the coaching change they desperately want. This game goes to the wire and we lose 31-28 and once again fail to reach 30 points which causes this board to explode.

After the layup at home against Kansas to move to 9-2, we have one shot to beat Iowa State and hope to make it to the Big 12 title game. The offense can't do enough and its a defensive struggle on both sides that ends in a 21-17 loss and out of the Big 12 title game.

Oklahoma goes to the playoff, Big 12 title game loser goes to the Sugar Bowl, and at 9-3 we find ourselves back in the Alamo Bowl where we play a USC team that had just fired Clay Helton before the game and we win to finish 10-3 and no coaching changes are made and we are right back to where we were to start the year.

This is one of the most plausible posts I’ve ever read on this site. Could see it breaking this way

1. Kf.c posters are way too distracted by some idiotic political/religious/cultural/COVID/Donati issue (or something that steel has said or maniac has done) that they barely even notice when we beat Duquesne 49-7 and instead divide into irreconcilable camps and call each other names incessantly.

2. Kf.c posters finally wake up and notice that the football season has begun and immediately pick out 2-3 players that they will henceforth harass incessantly in game threads regardless of how the players actually perform while concomitantly picking 1 coach who will be the chosen "goat" of the season and then holding Donati responsible for him even being on the staff as the Frogs beat Cal in a way-too-close-for-comfort 31-30 W.

3. Some mix-up happens with the ticket office and Kf.c posters immediately divide into irreconcilable camps about when and how Donati did or did not screw it up and how CDMFC would have handled it all with aplomb and finesse (with comprehensive transparency) and barely even notice TCU walloping the Stangs 48-21 (with some successful trick plays).

4. With Cutty Sark instead of Mensa, the Longhorns come in undefeated and ranked in the Top 5 with ESPN slavering all over them as the Second Coming, but Patterson somehow pulls off his magic act with our D and we hold them off in a close one 24-23. For a brief moment, Kf.c posters unite and celebrate but immediately start going after their chosen goat coach and the 2-3 players that, despite the W, didn't perform perfectly on an unimportant play early in the 2nd quarter.

5. Some political development occurs somewhere and Kf.c posters immediately divide into irreconcilable factions about it at the same time as some media blowhard saying something vague about conference realignment and Kf.c blows up about all of it simultaneously while TCU plows through Tech 56-14 in Lubbock.

6. For the first time all season, OU Week focuses the Kf.c fan base on football which completely discombobulates Coach P and the team such that they play poorly and make key mistakes at inopportune times and the Frogs lose a heartbreaker 28-27. Kf.c posters respond by calling for Coach P's head on a platter and immediately go after Donati for having kept him way past his sell/by date.

7. West Virginia fans prematurely burn way too many couches when the Frogs continue their wayward ways in the first half, but TCU storms its way back in the 2nd half by handing the ball to Evans multitudinous times and win 38-27. The fire Coach P crowd, is, however, not mollified and kf.c posters dox Donati's personal info and show up at his house with mass protests.

8. KState starts some unknown 8th year senior at QB who has never played a down and he somehow plays great and keeps them in the game all the way to the end until TCU wins on a late FG 19-17. Kf.c posters remain unimpressed and start dolefully projecting what ho-hum bowl we might end up in.

9. Tadeas Paroulek and Jenson Brooksby start baiting the Frogs assiduously during Baylor Week but it makes no impact as most Kf.c posters don't even know who they are because they don't read the tennis thread. Instead, most Kf.c posters are utterly outraged about something Donati said in a tweet about some tangential issue and immediately divide into irreconcilable camps about it. Things being back to "normal," Coach P and the team pound Baylor 48-10.

10. The usual L to Oklahoma State up there doesn't happen for some reason as Coach P's D shuts down their passing game. But that doesn't stop Kf.c posters from calling each other "poopy pants" because of something that one of them might possibly have implied in a thread over on the Pit.

11. TCU beats KU.

12. Amazingly, the Frogs are 10-1 and have a chance to make the Big 12 CCG against OU if and only if we beat ISU. After (mostly) arguing with each other all year long, Kf.c posters are awakened to the possibility (especially wokefrog) and immediately start competing with one another as to who said "never sleep on Iowa State" the first time in the season. The Frogs luck out and win (despite some boneheaded plays by the 2-3 targeted players and questionable calls by the goat coach.

11-1 and a berth in the CCG against OU.

First LVH and now a second Testament of Prognostication with a game-by-game breakdown. Impressive. This sort of thing will earn you a tie breaking bonus point if your prediction wins out.

Here's the latest. Get your predictions in, and then you can go back to arguing about masks or whatever...
A few of you over there on the right with non-predictions at this point.
