2022 Big 12-SEC Challenge (Poll)

[enisthemenace]

I don't see Big 12 winning only 4 of 10

I can see the Big 12 winning less. I’m just not sure I buy the “great defense” thing. It could very well be ****** offense.

If the Big12 goes out and wins the majority of these games, then we can talk (figure of speech; not intended to be directed specifically to you, I hope you understand).

Hopefully, this is not a rationalization by bowl game losers after the fact: it was just an exhibition?

 

[NWICY]

I have ISU, Baylor, KSU, OSU, Kansas, and TT winning but like some have said I am not too confident in a lot of these matchups. WVU really needs a win bad right now so that game could be interesting. This definitely is going to be a good test to see if the Big 12 is as good as we think it is.

Side note, so if Oklahoma or Texas happens to win will the SEC try to claim the wins?

Oh your damn right they will. Hell ESPN will probably count them in the SEC total if they win, but the B12 if they lose. Got to push the narrative.

Missouri beating ISU would be the biggest surprise. And that's not going to happen.

Gonna be some SEC SEC SEC ... coming from Cyclone Alley for sure!

I like that it is all on one day. I mean who won the Big East - Big 12 challenge this year? I think it was tied and not even going to bother to look it up. Remember the Pac-12 / Big-12 challenge? No one cared and glad it was dumped.

I agree. Although I think it would be even more fun if it was seeded maybe 1 or 2 weeks in advance to improve some of the matchups. Last season is seldom a sound basis for seedings. One thing the pandemic has taught us is that in-season scheduling is achievable, whereas 20-30 years ago it wouldn't have been. Nowadays, for instance, the schools have their own air transportation, and there is more to gain from the TV contracts.

It was a 5-5 tie, but I only know that because of a Reddit poster from the Big East. Should really play all those games on the same weekend. The publicity for the Big12-SEC is really good, would be nice to get some of that for the Big East challenge as well.

Rick Barnes will coach his first game at Texas since his departure following the 2014-15 season. Texas hasn't won an NCAA Tournament game since he left.

ESPN Writer Metcalf also picked Tenn @ TX as the most intriguing outside of the UK @ KU glamour game:

How Kentucky beats Kansas and predictions for Saturday's SEC/Big 12 Challenge

Jayhawks/Wildcats is the marquee matchup in Saturday's 10-game series, but other major storylines await in the 10-hour extravaganza.

Also of note, they point out that 10 of the 20 coaches have coached in the final 4 at some point.

The Big12/Big East should go to Fox with a similar proposal. Second Saturday in December would be perfect with all games on FS1/Fox.

 

[Cyforce]

Those poll numbers don't look like the best conference in the country against the weak ass SEC.

 

[rochclone]

I hope we beat them 8-2 or 9-1. Just lay a woodshed to that conference.

TCU looking good against a pro team

 

[ISU_Guy]

I really hope we go 8-2 with Texas and OU losing.
That would be an ideal day for me.

 

[dafarmer]

TCU s o’Bannion on fire.

 

[mywayorcyway]

The TCU LSU game has been quite a bit of fun for the last few minutes. Middle of the second half. TCU was running away from them but the refs started blowing the whistle a lot more. TCU has eight fouls 7 minutes into the second half. 5 point game right now, TCU leads.

That sounds great and it just occurred to me this morning how much more fun this event is going to be when they leave.

 

[enisthemenace]

TCU gonna blow it

 

[enisthemenace]

TCU didn’t blow it.

Oklahoma State is all over Florida right now.

I don't know what that banging noise is coming from the Florida student section but its damn annoying
