Good weekend for the Big 12–old and new.
Nebraska could’ve won yesterday, and I wish they had. OU looks beatable, but Riley teams always seem to get better as the season goes on. We’ll see, but I really want their run to end. WVU’s win over Virginia Tech was great for the league overall.
A couple future Big 12 members look to be in the mix for NY6 bids. Cinci looked potentially overrated, but that’s a good Indiana team and their stadium was unusually packed. Their season can make or break against Notre Dame in a couple weeks. More so, BYU looks pretty good. They play an impressive, basically PAC-12 schedule this year. 3-0 over Arizona, Utah, and Arizona State. They still play USF, Utah State, Boise St, Baylor, Wazzu, UVA, and USC, plus 2 body bag games. Should be a good team to follow this year. Hate UCF lost. Would’ve been nice for them and the league.
OSU continues to do just enough without looking very good. This year’s Boise is okay not great, but it’s a tough place to win on the road. K-State had a surprising showing against a good Nevada team (preseason pick to win the MWC, though Fresno will have something to say about that).
Texas, Iowa State, and Tech did what they were supposed to do against lesser teams. KU looked slightly improved in the first half, then the wheels came off in Lawrence. At least they aren’t as bad as Arizona.
Enough bye weeks. Ready for the Frogs.
