Big 12 thread

I know. I've questioned the authority of the almighty gawd that is the S-E-C.

Here's another news flash. I ain't going to watch it the SEC network when OU and Texas join either. Just like I don't watch the LHN, B1G, Pac 12 networks either.

I watch Big 10 Network on the regular. I just don't bring the hype mush here with me.

I only watch those "specific" networks when they have a "decent" game on them that the regular networks aren't picking up. And that seems to be more of a case during basketball and baseball seasons. SEC network does have good baseball games. (I don't even get the PAC network.)
 
I won't lie, I do watch mostly watch SEC games and then the big games from other leagues. I watched for example Illinois vs. Nebraska, Penn State vs. Wisconsin while flipping to OU and Tulane.

However, right now, I am watching Missouri and Miss State. Missouri doesn't look very good which is giving me a better feeling about playing them.

That was the only P5 vs P5 game that day. Off course you watched it. So did every other CFB fan in the nation that day.

You know, I'm beginning to wonder about any performances...good or bad during the COVID shit time. It just seems like we don't know who missed practice, for how long, etc, etc, etc.

I saw some high school scores from last night and I thought, WTH. Called some contacts and found out some teams were still playing with 40% of their squad instead of forfeiting. Most of them said they'll get players back in a couple of weeks....but then again, they could lose some others. It is hitting schools hard here in our state.

Well openers were always tricky, even pre-COVID 19. If there was head scratching upsets, they were usually in week 1 or week 2.
It takes time for teams to gel.

And now when they do "gel" they may "un-gel" in a week or two.

True but fans like on this board think Football players are robots. They are not. It takes time for example for a QB to know how fast a WR runs or how to properly time play counts, etc.
 
Week 1 grades

Kansas State : A
TCU: A
Texas: A

All 3 had solid wins and took care of business

Kansas: B+ (yes it was an FCS team but so its Kansas pretty much)
Texas Tech: B-
Tech gets a B for not giving up.


Baylor: D
Iowa State: D
Oklahoma State: D
Oklahoma: D-
All played inferior opponents but escaped with a win. Would like to have given and F to a couple these but a win is a passing grade.

West Virginia: F
They lost. No pass.

B1G would be dead as a major football conference if they lost Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, and Nebraska.

Regardless of how good/bad they are, Bluebloods are the foundation of every conference outside of the ACC.

Iowa and Wisconsin have indeed been better than Nebraska, but they're not Bluebloods.

USC is the Blueblood foundation of the PAC. If they leave the PAC is a shell. Washington would be next on the list.
OU and Texas were the Foundation of the Big 12. They're leaving and it's now a shell. There is NO secondary.
Alabama and Tennessee are the Blueblood foundation of the SEC. Without them the SEC would rely on recent success which is spotty.

Tennessee is not a blue blood. Auburn has a winning record against them.

Tennessee is 9th in all-time P5 wins. They are a blueblood.

Minnesota has a winning record against Nebraska. Is Minnesota a blueblood?
