BIG 12: 5-0 for the bowl season
- Thread starter Cyclone27inQC
- Start date
The media tried really hard to bury the league after the first couple of weeks but as time went on, you could tell the committee respected what the big 12 was doing because on paper, there was good football being played here.
Big 12 doesn't play defense
But, but, but the B1G conference is a meat grinder!!

It's really sad how this narrative gets thrown around by the sports media. We held the Ducks to 17 points, that is pretty impressive in my book.
Huge response from the Big 12 after Week 1. A lot of people downplay bowl results, but they have a huge effect on where you start the next season. And right or wrong, that matters in today's college football. Oklahoma, and Iowa State are likely top 10 to start the season. Texas and Oklahoma State will likely be ranked with an outside shot for WVU.
The D was helped by a lot of turnovers ... but it’s still amazing and an amazing stat. They didn’t convert a single 3rd down.... for a minute you had to wonder if they would have one! The O was the best D in this case....
A huge part of that stat is our “boring” ball control offense that low-IQ football fans love to hate, yelling at their TV for us to “throw the damn ball!”
Turnovers or no turnovers, the defense was nails in the second half. Some huge third and short stops.
And Indiana!But, but, but the B1G conference is a meat grinder!!

The East division is, the West is a Joke.
This is an unpopular take but what ISU did today (when they stuck to what was effective) was the most fun offensive football to watch imo and it's the way ISU going to maintain success.
I like to think good Defensive play leads to turnovers. Not 100% correlation of course, but knocking the ball out and paying attention and jumping on loose balls is part of heads-up defensive play.
I love that Indiana, Cincinnati, and Coastal Carolina, the three teams complaining about ISU getting in ahead of them, all lost. While we dominate ours.And Indiana!
The turnovers today were good defensive plays. They were "forced". At least the two fumbles. Defenses practice that **** all the time.
