Baylor goes down to 13
OU down to 10
Big 12 is so disrespected nationally. Top to bottom it has to be the best conference. There are no off weeks in the Big 12. Even Kansas and West Virginia are competitive. They should use Sagarin ratings for Playoff and bowl rankings.

Their non-conference hurts them plus they had to go to Overtime to beat Texas Tech & TCU and they beat West Virginia at home by 3. That doesn't help either.
This is gonna be the year to expand the playoff. Very likely we end up with...
13-0 LSU
13-0 OSU
13-0 Clemson
12-1 Oregon
12-1 OU
11-1 Alabama
And potentially 12-1 Minnesota
A one loss Minnesota team will only have a wins over Penn. State, Wisconsin and Iowa, while OU will have a win over Texas and 2 wins over Baylor, plus be a conference champion.
It could get crazy if LSU wins out, they have games with Ol Miss, aTm and Arkansas, and then lose to Georgia in the SEC championship game. They could be the 2nd SEC school in.
Really not looking good for the Big 12, but we have 4 weeks to figure it out.
Those resumes seem pretty equal to me, if not a slight lean towards Minney.
Maybe, put we have plenty of time to see. The Big 10 is going to get one team in, not sure how they get a second team in, if that team is Minnesota. The Pac 12 will be setting there with a one loss champion, the big 12 would have OU or Baylor there as a conference champion. If Ohio St. wins the conference, I just can not see the selection committee taking a one loss Minnesota team over the champ of either the Pac 12, Big 12 or even Alabama if any have just one loss on the year.
I suppose if OU loses to Baylor Saturday, and then Baylor turns around in the championship game and defeats OU, maybe. OU would have two losses, but Baylor would only have one, and be a conference champ.

B1G will only get one team in, and it's going to be OSU or nobody.
If the Big 12 gets someone in and it's Baylor I'm going to be really grossed out. I don't care if it helps ISU (assuming they make a bowl) in pecking order.
If Minney wins out and beats OSU in the title game, they're in.
