5th in the Big 12

[ISUFan22]

At Football Study Hall, they have us ranked at #63 and ahead of KSU (74), Texas (84) and KU (126). Not that far behind Tech (55). We've beaten Texas and KU so far but laid an egg against Tech - they rated that game as a 19th percentile performance for us. They have OSU at #35, but with the game being at JTS they put it in the toss-up category giving us a 40% win probability. The game at KSU is a 49% win probability. Win probability against OU of course is low. But the confusing one is WVU.

They have WVU as the #13 team in the country according to advanced stats. That's hard to swallow for a team that's 3-4, but if you start to look at their schedule it begins to make a little more sense. They crushed their 3 non-con opponents, and in conference they've played OU, OSU, Baylor and TCU. That's a hell of an opening conference slate. They played OSU to a one-score game. The other three games weren't as close, but you're talking about legit Top 10 teams too. Looking at common opponents, we actually kept the score a little bit closer against TCU and Baylor, though we did play Baylor in a monsoon. WVU will be a team to watch the next three weeks to see if they are as good as the advanced stats think they are right now, or if we'll have a better chance to beat them.

Great analysis.

A little more respect? I suppose you wouldn't understand that concept though given how you conduct yourself on this site.

Two snaps and a twist. Nice burn.

We took 50,000 to the Alamo Bowl in 2011 and there are a **** ton of oSu alums in Texas.

you're bragging because your fans traveled a couple hours? Nice.....

Yeah, I was looking at the Conference Only football statistics on the Big XII website this AM. Given the worst of the schedule is behind us we do not look too bad. Currently rank 4-6 in most statistics.

Warren LEADING all rushers in conference only games. Yes, ahead of Shock Linwood.

Did the tarp get to go, too? Does it still exist?

Crazy that so far in the season OU, OSU, TCU, and Baylor have not played any of the other 3 yet. That will change this weekend.

For a conference that has no championship game a round robin tournament is the next best thing.

If 1 of that group wins 3 games they are a lock for playoff.

Too bad that type of scheduling doesn't happen in the big 10.

The Big 10 has been specifically set up to not only prevent the best teams from having to play each other late in the season (except for championship), but to really avoid the best teams having to play each other at all.

But couldn't get 50,000 in Floyd Casey.... Interesting
