After one B12 game, it looks like this to me ...

[surly]

1. Ku - customary AFH ref support
2. Texas - continue winning without a beard
3. ISU - comfortably over BU
4. TCU - healing
5. K-State - down a starter still stooled Huggs
6. Baylor - missing Tang?
7. WVU - look like always: tough, mean, can't shoot, boarding banshees
8. OU - maybe a slot high
9. TxT - regression toward the mean
10. oSu - even the least shall challenge the beast

It's way too early to guess about this league. Four of the five games were decided by 6 points or less. The only outlier was our win over Baylor, which came without Cryer for them and Kunc for us.

Only one team secured a road win, and that was by a single point.

Oklahoma State gave KU everything they could handle in Lawrence.

The only thing that first game showed us is that if a team doesn't show up, they are gonna get beat. It's gonna be a grind every Big XII game.

Trying to hard.

KU
Texas
Everyone Else (not sure TX doesn't belong here)

 

[KCClone1]

KU - the favorites
TX, TCU, Baylor - the contenders
Everybody else - hoping for .500 and a tourney invite

Although, I haven't watched much other than ISU. Is K-State legit this year?

 

[surly]

You'd have to define "legit." B12 championship run, likely not. NCAA field, likely yes.

by legit I meant making the dance. If so, that's impressive for year 1, similar to what TJ did last year

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

I feel like there's just a bit less talent in the leauge this year than most recent seasons.

And I wish ISU had more of a Brockington type this year for late in the shot clock.

Way to early this conference is going to beat the crap out of each other. Re asses Feb 1st

1. Kansas
2. Houston
3. TCU
4. Iowa State
5. KSU
6. Baylor
7. Texas Tech
8. West Virginia
9. Oklahoma State.
10. Cincy
11. BYU
12. UCF

Oklahoma/Texas - who cares. They can go suck the biggest bag of dicks you can find.

Baylor is missing players, not so much Tong.

 

[cyclones500]

Probably too early, but I’ll give it a shot.
1 Kansas
2 Texas
3 Baylor
4 Iowa State
5 West Virginia
6 TCU
7 Kansas State
8 Oklahoma
9 Oklahoma State
10 Texas Tech

Who are they missing and who is Tong, or is that lil boy attempted smack?

 

[LarryISU]

I don't expect ISU to be a very good road team. Just a guess. But we are better than EIU and yet look how we froze up on the road.

Kansas, Texas, Baylor, TCU, ISU, KSU, Oklahoma, TTU, WVU, OSU. Just because we beat Baylor, doesn't mean we finish ahead of them 17 games from now.

 

[Marcelason78]

Have you seen any Baylor games?

 

[surly]

Have you seen any Baylor games?

No, I've been focused on football until now.

 

[Marcelason78]

No, I've been focused on football until now.

Your ‘lil boy’ Baylor coaching comment makes more sense now.

not that anyone has an easy week but KU plays at tech tonight then travels to WV to play Saturday against a desperate and hungry team who usually plays KU well at home

LOL, weak sauce. K-State plays at Texas and at Baylor this week, starting tonight. That's a tough two game run. While Ku has a not good WVU in Morganville. Granted, TxT has a long home gym winning streak.

 

[Clonehomer]

From what I've seen so far, TCU belongs in the top 3. They'll be in the conference title picture when it's all said and done. I also see Texas struggling at times just because they're Texas and don't have a coach to get them through tough games.

Top 6
KU
TCU
Baylor
ISU
Texas
WVU
