I think you guys are underestimating K-State a little bit. They’re not going to be a top team, but they’ll be way improved with Skylar Thompson back. Their biggest problem this year was that Will Howard can’t throw to save his life.

1. OU - best
2. OSU - talent and coaching
3. UT - talent
4. Baylor - offense improves enough to help defense
5. WVU - similar to baylor
6. ISU - bright lights too bright
7. TCU - at least better than bottom 3
8. KSU
9. TTU
10. Kansas

I think 3-6 are all going to be close.

OU will be losing their most veteran wide receiver in Rambo to the transfer portal. Not much of a big deal due to the talent they bring in year in and year out.

OU's bowl win was more impressive but they did not outplay Iowa State in 10 Big 12 games. It was a virtual draw. You could argue if a loss to KSU or a loss to OkSt is worse...and that actually plays in ISU's favor.

I know we lose a few great players but we get back some of our all time greats on both sides of the ball. We also didn't have a great player for a 1/2 against OU. I'm not familiar with their losses, I'm sure they're getting another batch of 5*s in.

Help me understand this?

I don't get Rambo leaving. If you are a QB or a WR I would think you would die to play for Lincoln. He is damn good, and you know you will see the ball. Who knows. Hope he find a happy place and continues to grow.

I bet Rambo ends up at Alabama. They may need a veteran wide receiver to fill in as they lose Smith and Waddle and may need a go to guy until one of their younger players can be the go to guy later on.

Seems like best case scenario is equal to playing another year at OU.

Maybe he just isn't happy there for some non-football reason.

This is one of the most incoherent posts I've ever tried to unsort here. Can anyone help me understand what this fellow is attempting to say?

They’re saying that’s you can argue whether OU losing to KState or ISU losing to OSU was a worse loss—but OSU wound up being the higher ranked team, so ISU comes out ahead in that argument.

Basically that on the conference season, ISU and OU came out even.

(Which isn’t true, since ISU came out a game ahead)

That's a weird way of trying to make nonsense of ISU finishing 8-1 and the regular-season champion. OU's at 6-2 finished in second-place after Cy beat the Sooners in their head-to-head meeting. This is not news. I still don't get what point the poster was trying to make. Perhaps minimize the championship game? But let's drop it here, as it's not worthy of additional bandwidth. Sorry, I took exception.
