I'm calling for Baylor to beat OK State... what sucks is at the end of the year there may be 4 or 5 unbeaten teams, can they just throw in the playoffs in jan?

Ten years from now, that's the way it'll be.

Baylor-OkSt is gonna be so much fun, OkSt is gonna put up 50 on Baylor, and RG3 will have to do his best to keep up

lol, you've been missing in the college threads

West Virginia to the Big 12.... Big East is over, they should disband now in football to save face. Kind of sad to see what was once a top 3 conference go down the tubes

So Big 12: (Texas greed lost 3, and possibly 4 schools. But TCU and WV are pretty strong additions. If they can find one more, I think they are set. Louisville?)
-Lost Colorado
-Lost Nebraska
-Lost A&M
-Gained TCU
-Gained West Virginia
-Possibly loses Mizzou

PAC-12 (picked up average programs for the sake of slightly more TV revenue)
-Gained Colorado
-Gained Utah

Big Ten (picked up an old-school program)
-Gained Nebraska

SEC (gained access to Texas)
-Gained A&M

ACC (added average teams for the sake of not being eaten up by others)
-Gained Syracuse
-Gained Pitt

Big East (conference is dead)
-lost Pitt
-lost Syracuse
-lost West Virginia
-conference is down to FIVE football teams (Rutger, UCONN, Cincy, Louisville, USF)
-they stated they wanted to add a s**t load of schools, but nothing yet and all the mid-majors will probably stay away with how shaky the conference looks now

With rumors that Mizzou will move to the SEC.

If it happens, Big12 vastly improved as a football conference. They lost some name schools that really haven't been any good. TCU/ WVU is an upgrade. Nebraska was the only team with clout, but it's been over a decade and the landscape has changed. Kids aren't lining up to play there.

Agree, but Nebraska seems to be improving. And A&M did recieve a major upgrade by leaving. Colorado is terrible (watch, now they upset my devils...).

TCU is a pretty good addition. WV, meh....they aren't the same since Rodriguez left, they will be mediocre.

Well WVU had their best seasons ever when RR was there, but they've maintained pretty well, better than I expected, they recruit the SEC states well, so we'll see how this affects them. I still don't see how A&M is better off in any way.

You don't see how A&M can benefit becuase your love for UT is too blinding

No, they were getting more money, were higher in the pecking order, and had easier competition in the big12. The only gain is that they can chant SEC when their team sucks like the other bottom feeders in that conference and (the main reason) they get out of UT's shadow.
Trust me, it's been pored over here ad nauseum and everyone agrees it's a huge gamble that odds are will go poorly for them.

I think OK State wins, but it should be a good game. Griffin is a dynamic QB, but I think with that secondary in Oklahoma State is too good, Jamel Fleming(CB) and Markelle Martin(SS), plus Offensively, Weeden and Blackmon will be too much IMO.

pretty much what I think

This is one of the worst college seasons in years. The best 2 teams are completely uninteresting, the best player plays in a horrible conference, there really doesn't seem to be any good stories. Luck and RG3 about the only players that are must watch. ALmost all the hype3d "big games" have been lousy. Yawn
