My guess is the conference actually hates Iowa State right now. We have cost the conference (potentially) a lot of money this year. With Russell going down Big 12 might get left out of the College Football Playoff again. With Texas losing last night there is probably another Big 12 team that won't make it to a bowl game. Most likely Texas, KU and ISU will not be bowling. If WVU or KSU fail to reach a bowl game this will not be good for perception of the Big 12 which is quite low already.
Conference Standings: We're Doing Alright
- Thread starter Spam
- Start date
Now I am confused, what is your point? Are the results over the rest of the schedule pointless or not?
Same old whining. How about we enjoy this? We just smoked a blue blood. Shut up for a week with all the negativity. Maybe we pull off a shocker in Norman? I'm not an optimist by nature but I know when to enjoy the moment while its here. Everyone take a deep breathe and try to be nice for once to our amazing university and student athletes.
I think the final standings will look really similar to that as far as the bottom 6 teams go.
In conference play. The 4 losses wouldn't make any sense either considering we play 12 games.
Not what I said. OP's point was were are right in the middle of the B12 today, which I think is pointless.

It is, but it's really top heavy. Their current status (5th in conference) means nothing to me right now. What they do against WVU, KSU, OU, and OSU will tell us what we need to know. I hope I'm wrong in saying this, but we are nowhere near Oklahoma's level and they are the next team above us.

Yeah, the top is very good.
It would be nice to have a game against someone not named Oklahoma next week to ride the wave a little more.
This looks better than I thought, especially for a team that' already got the 2 toughest conference games out of the way. Our non-conference was a disaster, but the conference season could still turn out to be pretty good (or pretty bad, I suppose)
Now I know why we play each other. So a bad team like KU can play KSU and WVU and have a chance.
This season is trending more toward being like 2004, less like 2003 (as it was looking a couple weeks ago..)
Isn't WVU something like 11-20 since they joined the league?
So much for coming in and whooping up on the new conference

Yeah, I'm worried about that as well. We'll learn a lot about them this weekend when they play Tech, as that'll be their first non juggernaut game.
WV board Sounds a lot like this board.
