We are 1/6th of the way through the college football season. Like many, I don’t have the patience to wait around see how the next 10 games play out. I want answers now.So I put my brain to work. For once.In an effort to serve KUSports.com readers, I have taken my brilliant mind to its limit, tapped away at one of those scientific calculators with a [pi key][1] and guessed-and-checked over and over and over. Finally, I have figured out the fool-proof formula to a bullseye-accurate prediction on the 2007 KU football season.Multiply by six.Assuming KU does what it did the first two games of the season, we can multiply by six and safely conclude that it’s going to be a pretty good season for the Jayhawks. They’ll go 12-0 pretty easily, outscore their opponents 684-42 and end up crossing the goal line 90 times by 66 different players.And that’s just the regular season!Obviously, KU’s going to have the top two or three Heisman Trophy candidates (which [ Tom Keegan has probably already told you][2].) Furthermore, if the first two games are any indication, the Jayhawks will probably crack the Top 25 after it’s fourth or fifth 62-0 victory of the season.Other notable projections to consider:- Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing will have 3,108 yards passing with 36 touchdowns and no interceptions. With these numbers, Keegan will soon pen a masterpiece arguing that Reesing deserves to take Roosevelt’s spot on [Mount Rushmore.][3] What did the Bull Moose really do, anyway?- Not to be outdone, backup quarterback [ Kerry Meier][4] will complete 100 percent of his passes this season, tying a world record. He’ll go 42-for-42 for [420][5] yards and 12 touchdowns. Controversy, anyone?- Wide receiver Marcus Henry will catch 72 balls for 1,332 yards and 12 touchdowns.- Brandon McAnderson will rush for 1,020 yards on 162 carries. Jake Sharp will rush for 828 yards on 138 carries.- Kicker Scott Webb will convert on all 84 of his extra-point attempts, pretty much destroying the school record.- Raimond Pendleton will get six unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties, get [screamed at][6] six times, and still score 12 touchdowns on the year.- Aqib Talib, a cornerback, will catch 18 passes for 528 yards and 12 touchdowns on offense. Remarkably, he’ll have no interceptions on defense, but still get invited to six [Playboy All-America photo shoots.][7]- Kansas will have no turnovers the entire season, another world-record-tying feat. On the flip side, Kansas will have just six takeaways (incredibly, all Patrick Resby fumble recoveries.)- Kansas will play 12 home games, despite what the schedule tells us now.- Todd Reesing will be 35 feet tall, silencing the critics for good.Obviously, it looks to be an exciting season for Kansas football, as my formula has pretty much proven. But due to time constraints, I couldn’t get into deep detail.So, using the complicated formula I unveiled above, did I miss any notable statistical predictions?
