Isn't conference season so much more fun when ISU's good!?

There are gonna be good teams that finish with like 5 wins. Looking like both OK teams and maybe WV are the ‘lower’ teams so far. I know baylor is 0-3 but they’ll get on track I think. Tech to me is the biggest question mark. I don’t think they’re as good as recent years but we will see.

Baylor 0-3.

They weren't as dominant in non-conference but I didn't see that coming.

Losing Tang looks really big. Didn’t realize he was there like 15 years.

In Big 12 today so far, all four home teams have lost. In fifth game, Texas Tech is losing to OU at home. Could be home teams go 0-5 today.

Wow. That’s actually crazy.

I think K State may be the best team in the league when it’s all said and done. KU obviously the top dog until proven otherwise, but people forget what pieces K State has on their team this year. Already wins in Waco and Austin is impressive. And of course we all know winning in Manhattan is no cup of tea.

Waco and Austin haven't shown to be all that difficult so far this year. I'm going to hold out until next week when they go to TCU. I still think when all is said and done, TCU will have a say in who the conference champs is.

But the surprising thing to me is just how the conference standings are divine between the top and bottom teams. There are 4 winless teams still and looking at the schedule it isn't going to get much better for the bottom teams. I was expecting another year of 4 through 9 being interchangable. Seems we may see where there will be a battle for the top spot and not so much in the middle.

Waco and Austin are two places we never win at so I will say that’s impressive what K State just did. Now we could win at those places too this year but until that happens, K State has the edge in best conference road wins.

That is until we win in Lawrence next Saturday…

They don't look as '5 football TE's playing basketball' like other years.

They're coming back now though.

There's really not many games that will feel like a surprising upset.

I would love to see the average margin of victory for Big 12 compared to other leagues

Another B12 game in overtime.

It's got to be pretty good.

Google initially showed something like an average of 28 NET ranking for the Big 12, the 2nd place B1G had 60.

What channel is the OU Texas Tech game?

 

[dahliaclone]

I don’t know if I want tech to win this or not.

 

[stormchaser2014]

What channel is the OU Texas Tech game?

Plus

What channel is the OU Texas Tech game?

ESPN+ of course.

 

[mynameisjonas]

Should’ve been a no call

 

[packattack425]

I would rather play a 1-2 TT than a desperate 0-3 team

 

[cyclones500]

I don’t know if I want tech to win this or not.

In short-term, I want teams we've already faced/beaten to win. As a sort of "tiebreaker rooting interest" ... hence, I prefer OU winning this one.

Actually who cares. We play them at home. Hilton dawgs. Cyclone Magic baby!

I have Hulu and ESPN+ integrates with the guide (if you are an espn+ subscriber) Does Youtube TV do that? Even though I hate Hulu's guide its kind of nice.

Was thinking about switching back to Youtube TV. anyone know if youtubeTV does that?

makes all these espn+ games much easier to deal with with hulu.

that being said...I think I want tech to win this game, but I am ok if they lose.

Outside the Big 12...

#5 Arizona lost to Wazzu today. Lot of teams in the top 10-15 were upset this past week. Will be interesting to see what happens with the rankings

 

[twincyties]

Crazy to think that win against Baylor won’t be a Q1 and they win against Villanova is borderline Q3.
