Big 12 Football Report

Standings via ESPN.

Well, what do we know so far? The Big 12 isn't very good, being 0-10 against ranked teams, including 0-7 from the North. However, everyone in the conference except Baylor and Colorado do have winning records....against pretty weak competition. Mizzou, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech are probably the teams most likely to win the conference, with Texas likely to win it all.

Obviously, no one knows whether Mizzou or Nebraska are for real since neither have won a game against anyone of note, but they both get good tests this week on the road against Tech and Iowa St., who could put themsleves in play for the North with a win, although they follow with OU and Tech. Ouch. North front-runners both travel the following week as well, MU to A & M and NU to K St., so we'll know a lot more then.

In the South, the Red River shootout will likely to decide things as usual. OU gets ISU at home the following week, with UT at home vs. Baylor. Tech survived a close one against A & M last week, will test MU and then goes to the woeful Buffalos. A & M goes to KU this week, might be interesting to see if the Jayhawks continue to improve.
