Texas already crushed UCLA 49-20.

Someone said they'd take the Pac12 and their 5 teams with 5+ wins. Well, Big 12 has 5 teams with 5+ wins while having less teams.

I'd rather see Oregon than Kansas State, but we'll see how KSU finishes up the season.

In a conference where anyone can beat anyone....not due to the fact that they are all good...they can all beat each other on any given day because they all refuse to play defense.

You do realize how stupid the phrase "refuse to play defense" sounds, right? The Big12 isn't the AND1 of college football.

How would they not believe in playing defense well? Based on your comments, one could infer that we should assume that the Big 12 as a whole has collectively decided not to bother with defense rather than the talent level in the Big 12 happens to be far more skewed towards offense.

I understand that you are perplexed with the high-ranking of various Big 12 teams, but the fact of the matter is that they have earned their rankings. You think Oklahoma is overrated, but cite that the reason the PAC 12's teams aren't similarly ranked is due to them beating up on lesser talented ones, how is that unfair to the PAC 12 teams? By such logic, PAC 12 teams should be rewarded for beating up on lesser teams. Oh wait, am I supposed to be impressed with Oregon beating Missouri State? Washington almost losing at home to Eastern Washington? USC almost losing at home to Minnesota?

Ummm, the teams make it look that way sometimes. The defense in the big 12 is terrible, thats all ive been saying. Im sick of seeing all these Big 12 teams get their dicks sucked all year about how good they are and when it comes down to it in a big game, they cant win because they play someone with a good defense and they dont have any clue as to what to do.

The "big game"? What, like a bowl game? You mean that game that teams have a month to prepare for?

Yes, a bowl game. One that they have a month to prepare for, one that big 12 teams fail to play defense in. You just made my point even better...They have a month to prepare for a game and they still dont bring a defense to the game.

They get a pass because the other team gets a month to prepare for them? It goes both ways.

These are awful matchups.

oklahoma beats oklahoma state. clemson goes unbeaten. alabama/clemson NC, viola!


...also, i agree that oregon (or oklahoma) goes in over kstate. kstate will probably end up losing more games than oregon anyhow.

[bearsfan_51]

Since when is the Pac-12 not equally a soft defensive conference? Talk about a pot calling a kettle black.

[bearsfan_51]

Also, I forgot about Oregon. I agree they would be chosen over Kansas State. Although the Fiesta Bowl has a Big 12 tie-in, Oregon draws a lot more eyeballs (Oregon-Fresno State would be a fun game)

You mean Boise State?

[bearsfan_51]

Ugh, yes. I need a nap.

[Punisher]

I'd like to see Stanford go head to head with LSU or Wisconsin. Just 2 big psychical teams battling it out through the ground.

[tjsunstein]

Kansas State could very well lose their next 4 games.

vs. Oklahoma
@ Oklahoma St
vs. Texas A&M
@ Texas

Did u see Ohio State is wearing different uniforms on Saturday? C'mon man! Where is the whole tradition stuff. Ohio State, as much as I hate them, is one of the teams that don't need to change. Michigan was on that list too, but they did too.
