TCU is actually the most shocking. That's kind of their thing.

@Codaxx could be worse, you could be Rice at #128...

I'm sure we're right in the same area as far as defensive rankings.
Crazy. Charlies been waiting for the offense to come along since getting there, now he has it, and the defense has taken major steps back.

OK, I get it that the Big XII defenses are "overworked". (Poor things.) That's the excuse for why their rankings are so low. But what really gripes my ass is no one in this conference can tackle........even in the first half when they should be fresh. Just waving at someone as they run past you isn't tackling. Playing 10 yards off the line of scrimmage so the receiver can do his version of free-style floor exercises before he MIGHT get hit isn't tackling. Playing prevent defense and giving up yardage like the French Army isn't playing defense. The conference just needs to admit we have some piss poor defensive coaches and defensive systems that contribute to the situation too.

I dont buy the "Big 12 offenses" nonsense. It is true that it is an offensive conference. You will play some very good offenses. That will leave a mark every once and awhile. You cant tell me that is the case every damn game. Like you say, I see missed tackles and blown coverages consistently.

There are lots of good defensive players in the league, it's just the the offenses are so stocked with insane offensive talent, and like you said, the schemes being used are going to make the O's look awesome and the D's look like sheeit.

It's like the old 90's WAC
