Baylor can essentially split the games with OU and Texas and still make the Big 12 CG.

The odd thing about today is that if Baylor and Iowa State both win out, I think Iowa State will play Baylor in the CCG! Unbelievable!

Everyone will be 7-5, 8-4....year after year.

Oklahoma pretended to have a defense for a few weeks.
This league is literally impossible to win anything consistently

Every single team can score 40 points at will.
Even a single missed play, tipped ball, or special teams mistake.....and you are down by 2 TDs in a blink of an eye.

Even Kansas can do it finally since they hired a new Offensive Coordinator right before the Texas game.
They were the last real offensive hold out. But, The MadHatter joined the club 2 weeks ago.

The B12 is still OU's to lose. Not going to panic over one loss on the road. OUr O is the best in the league and perhaps the country. OUr D, although beat today, has looked very good and shown steady improvement. OUr kicker hasn't missed a FG(or PAT).

BU is at the top of the B12 for now, so we'll see how they do? Texas is back....to being mediocre. ISU shines in October, but typically fizzles in November. OSU and KSU are roller coaster teams.

TTU, TCU, WV and KU can ruin somebody's day, but are not serious contenders.

I think the fact that the favs all lost today show the parity that the B12 has attained.

Oklahoma the best offense?

Alabama with Tua is better (that is why Tua replaced Hurd)
LSU is better
Ohio State is better

I would put OU around 4th at the most.

Funny, this is what us west coasters try to tell people about the PAC.

I do think people are writing off Oregon's changes to make the Playoff. They need to keep winning.

Issue with Big12 is that no one respects Baylor, Texas Tech, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, and West Virginia. These programs don't win at high levels and don't recruit at high levels. Whether you admit it or not, recruiting rankings and history matters. People respect the brand names such as OU and Texas.

Big12, however, was really hurt by losing Colorado, Nebraska, and Texas A&M. Sure these programs aren't great now but they had brand names that helped the league. All three have at least 1 year where they were recognize as National Champions. That is more than any of the remaining Big12 teams outside of OU and Texas.

Yes the BIG12 is offensive heavy, but is that an excuse to see wide open missed tackles week after week?

I know the defense is young and injured but missing wide open blown coverages and tackles like that? I’m starting to miss Mack Brown. His defense ALWAYS had at least one standout CAPTAIN on D. Herman, and Strongs’ defense has been trash.

Herman, with all the recruits he’s been dealt should have a solid front seven as well.

Three sacks the last three games...
