Right now ISU would struggle to score that many points in a full game-length practice.

They don't have the talent to do so.

I'll be surprised if OU beats Baylor in Waco, unless OU gets things figured out in a hurry. Knew coming into the season that OU D-line was a problem, and today didn't do anything to diminish that stigma.

It's possible to swap another L to get a W at home vs. OU. I just don't see Baylor being at a high enough level throughout the entire season to do better than 8-4 or 7-5.

The WV QB had all the time he wanted tonight, couldn't make many throws, plus good coverage.

That being said, our line probably wont compare.

Baylor scored 70 points on a Mid-American Conference team that went 4-8 last year and 3-9 the year before that.

I'm not convinced whatsoever Baylor is top 10 material.

I could see Baylor going undefeated. No joke. No teams in this league can put up points like them this year and their defense has definitely improved (can't get much worse). OSU and TCU will challenge them out other than they could be playing in a BCS Bowl or better, depending on how the rest of the country shakes out.

My pick for the Big 12 after week two is Baylor, especially watching OU only score 16 on WV and Texas lose by 19 @BYU where they gave up 500+ rushing yards.

Lot of denial in this thread about the strength of Baylor.

You should have seen it when I said I understood why a few experts were picking them to win the B12 a couple months ago. Once their defense went from terrible to merely below average at the end of the year last year, they became contenders.

I am so stoked to enjoy a year free of conference strength arguments. Love you weak Big 12! Now let's win some games Cyclones!

We need to get over the Big 10. The only team we could compete with in that league right now is Purdue. Maybe.
Man I can't wait to play another game, you have seen ISU play 1 game this season.

When was the last time we had a better quarterback than OU?

There's WAY too much ripping on ISU in this thread for me. According to some on here, I'm the only one that does that, and I'm the only one that still is complaining about the UNI game.

Interesting how that is, when this thread was just started late last night and it's already 6 pages of basically saying how bad ISU (and the rest of the conference) is. But yeah, I'm the only one piling on ISU and the only one still complaining about the loss to UNI.

Have you watched any Big XII games? They do look terrible. We aren't looking at one game. We're looking at 15+ and the Big XII looks terrible.

BTW - I believe you are the one who wrote a message to Lazard saying "it's okay if you go somewhere else, we suck" I believe the mods closed the post because it was so stupid.

If that wasn't you, my bad. But, if it was you, you are forever an idiot in my book and you shouldn't say anything to anyone about saying how bad ISU is. When you tell potentially the best recruit we have ever had to go elsewhere??? Pure stupidity.

I believe I said that I wouldn't blame Lazard if he went somewhere else. Would you?

Of course I want him to be a Cyclone. I wish we could land every 5 star recruit out there. But after losing to UNI, I'm not sure I could blame any young kid if they decided they didn't want to play for ISU. That's just life. It's reality. It stinks sometimes.
