Whens the last time the Big 12 was undefeated week 1?
- Thread starter Cyclonetrombone
- Start date
Given that the league had only one semi-marquee game in week 1, I think the "Big 12 is the only undefeated league" would probably be as premature a narrative as the "Big 12 teams struggling with FCS programs" narrative was from yesterday.
2012
#4 Oklahoma 24 vs UTEP 7
#11 West Virginia 69 vs Marshall 34
#15 Texas 37 vs Wyoming 17
#19 Oklahoma State 84 vs Savannah State 0
#22 K-State 51 vs Missouri State 9
Iowa State 38 vs Tulsa 23
Texas Tech 44 vs Northwestern State 6

Baylor 59 vs SMU 24

I suppose I should have included "and everyone played a game" Granted... TCU that year likely would have won as well.
Yes, what you've heard is true - winning is, in fact, better than losing.
I'm certainly not arguing that going 10-0 isn't a good thing. Just that it's probably a mistake to use that as a gauge of league strength given who those 10 opponents were.
One thing is for sure, if the SEC went 14-0 ESPN would shove it down everyone's throat all week.
Since they went 8-5, we won't hear a peep about it.

I saw a lot of media types talking about the SEC's bad day yesterday.

Its hard to compete with stacked teams like Illinois and Minnesota, lets not forget them.
