JAY JORDAN: Post-spring questions, Big 12 power rankings

[3GenClone]

IdI be very surprised to see WVU vault all the way to the top but I have no inside info. Do they really have enough depth for a 13 game schedule? You saw how we fared late last season.

You should look at WVU's last 4 games of the 2018 season:

@ Texas
v TCU
@ OK State
v OU

The ISU game (in Ames) is also sandwiched between KU and Baylor. If WVU can improve week to week then those last 4 games don't seem so daunting, but if the wheels fall off late in the season, like they did last year, then it may be tough for them to finish with more than 5 wins in conference.

My primary comment to this writer regarding K-State is "just like basketball, dude." There's no school taken for granted more than the Cats for some reason. Bill Snyder is old. Well, yeah. And it's as if having to pick between two quality quarterbacks is a bad thing? Logic rules. But he is a lawyer after all. And to suggest that guys who have left can't be replaced is absurd. Yes indeed, K-State 7th, ISU 3rd and WVU wins it all. Good lord. A nice ISU kool-aid slurpy stirred and served-up by a former-Clone. Whoop.

Weren't you touting how salty KSU would be last year? And if it weren't for a complete cheat of ISU by the refs, KSU would have been a middling 6-6.

Yes, K-State was expected to be very good last year. But they lost starting QB Jessie Ertz in an OOC loss at Vandy. They actually finished 8-5 with a lopsided bowl win over UCLA. Not sure where you came with the 6-6 thingy.

And I never wrote this year's squad would be all that 'salty.' You did, Ron. But if they finish 7th or lower, I'll be happy to buy because I believe they'll at least be competitive if not salty.

Good stuff as usual from Jay, but say it ain't so---OSU has the best running back in the conference?

Literally on first read of that thought you said you were touching yourself as the opening phrase of this.

Well, after watching the Wildcats spring game, maybe the writer's assessment wasn't as bad as I thought.

ISU at 3rd is a little optimistic, but I don't think finishing in the top half of the league is this year for ISU.

ISU wins Big 12. Get your big boy pants on, it's time to win!
