Bowman has to make those throws.

Give Sweat the Heisman. Best player we saw all year and none of these qbs they make front runners are all time greats.

He and Harrison Jr are the best players even though Texas and Ohio St are my least favorite teams.

You’re a moron.

Ah yes 28 points in the first quarter, with Ewers going 11/11 just screams defense

Good question:

Miami and Tampa is a LONG trip for all teams not named UCF and a real outlier for 15/16 teams. Neither Miami nor Tampa would draw good crowds no matter who played in a given year, and Florida can be cool and rainy in December.

I went to an ACC CCG between GT and Wake @ Jax (2006) , and it was raining and half-full stadium at best. ONLY FSU could sellout an ACC game in Jax, so that is one reason they moved it to Charlotte. Big Xii would have the same struggles.

@ Rose Bowl and @ San Diego would be really good for the Western teams but not as good as @ Las Vegas for the Midwestern teams. Usually good weather in both places, so that is a plus. WVU, UC and UCF lose out on all three of these options, but @ Arlington is also tough for them.

Personally, I'd be down with @ Rose Bowl though! That would be awesome because Rose Bowl reasons. @ San Diego would be okay too, but I think @ Las Vegas would be easier to attend and have bigger crowds in any given year.

Well, your last two paragraphs make it evident that you just want Vegas since the reasons against the Cali ones aren’t any different than Vegas.

Does it not bother you about the big 12 giving a major cash influx to an area that has 0 big 12 support?

That first Q seemed to take longer than the entire first half last night. Must have been Washington's 7 1/2 minute opening drive.

Texas has a really good defense. Saying neither team has a defense is ignorant.

 

[CyGuy5]

How do they not review that???

 

[madguy30]

I mean neither team has a defense, both teams can go down the field whenever they want.

What do you determine for how good a team is on defense? Oh, that's right, 'eye ball' test.

So when Illinois and Iowa play one another, it 'looks' like great defense.

 

[BCClone]

OSU just told by the refs we ain’t letting you win with that pick.

I honestly can’t believe that INT stood

Why would anyone watch Iowa vs Illinois?

Defensive rankings are relevant only with B1G teams.

Everyone else is playing flag football and neither team in any game is playing football.

Just horrible

 

[statsaholic]

Bad calls happen, but OSU has had 2 critical non-calls (the last one with not even a review). I will be so glad when Texas and OU are gone.

Smashmouth tackle football!!!

First time watching Texas? They get more bogus calls in Big 12 games than ever other team combined.

I cannot believe those teams benefit from officiating even after they left the conference for dead

 

[HFCS]

Probably least damaging int you could throw but a td drive here probably ends this.

Yikes on the lack of review, probably need to not review any plays rest of the game to be fair.

 

[madguy30]

Have you ever watched tOSU in a game and thought 'hey, did they just get away with that thing that the other team got called for'?

There's a reason many on here won't miss Texas.

Mine is being tired of hearing about them despite not really doing much over the last decade + with exception to this season.

I will be happy just to never hear the TX fight song or Boomer Sooner again.
