I looked them up the other day. Not as many as you would think in terms of starters. None from the big teams. Oklahoma State had three, but only one was consistently playing. Baylor had one who was consistently playing. 2.5 for Texas (two who played and one who was on split duty). Oklahoma had like 4.5.
No. Reverse tease where I gave up points. It was Iowa -2.5 and Alabama -7, so I gave the extra six points to boost the odds to -8.5 and -13 respectively.
And with the turnover in teams with transfers now, and bowl games never reflecting anything on the strength of a conference the following season, it doesn’t matter. TCU was horrible last year and are in the CFP tonight.
Yeah I was trying to not be a **** about it but the Big12 just doesn’t put enough people in the NFL (especially in the early rounds) to have many sit out. Transferring is a totally different thing but most transfers wouldn’t be big impact guys.
It's almost like it's difficult to trust a true freshman in his first game going against a Top 10 defense.
Lmao, considering the history of their pathetic football program they should be happy with any kind of bowl game.
Agree but the vast majority of those transfers had limited impact on their teams. Obv a starting QB is an outlier but most of those transfers weren’t getting playing time.
I get it but optics matter and it’s not good to be at the bottom regardless of circumstances.
I mean, still a lot of games to be played, but the Big Ten is about to be 4-0 in bowl games, even with three NY6 bowls elevating their lower level teams. I don't know how you could argue they weren't in the conversation for the best conference top to bottom this season.
We (the Big 12) were undefeated in bowls just a couple of years ago and nobody in the national media cared. Nobody gives a crap about bowl records the minute the National Championship is completed. They care what teams/conferences win in the CFP. The CFP is all that matters anymore much like Final Fours in basketball.
Kentucky’s QB isn’t a transfer he is a first round draft pick. I was talking transfers. Yeah the SEC is always going to have a bunch of people sitting out as they produce the most NFL talent.
