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.
the truth
