Big 12 is overrated, too?

Jon Wilner makes a good point...the top-ranked Big 12 teams have played nobody (except TCU)...this kind of reminds me of the No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 2 Michigan argument a couple years back.


Kansas last year was the perfect example of this formula. They started the season unranked but their first four games last year were against Central Michigan, SE Louisana, Toledo and Florida International. All at home of course.

They put up gaudy numbers in those games, get noticed, move up to #20 then barely beat KSU, A&M and Colorado, while blowing out the dregs of the conference... and of course they don't have to play Texas OR Oklahoma.

Thought your point was bogus until I remembered these scores from a personal perspective . . .

Wazzu:

August 30 Oklahoma State L 39-13
September 6 California L 66-3
September 13 at Baylor L 45-17
September 27 Oregon L 63-14
October 11 at Oregon State L 66-13
October 18 No. 6 USC L 69-0

Maybe you're on to something?

I guess that win against Va Tech in the Orange Bowl was a fluke too, huh? Fuck off and die, faggot.

Your questions are definitely knee-slappers! They should bring chuckles...

please point us toward a conference that's not overrated. most conferences fit a similar mold and follow a simple template for scheduling, one or two "maverick" teams notwithstanding.
