Big 12 power rankings: Oklahoma and Texas emerge as big favorites in conference race
- Thread starter Central Floridave
- Start date
My dudes, already ranking in the top 5 of the BIG 12 in our first few games of the first season in the league? With a backup QB? I am not missing the days of yore. What a ride!
It seems much more fun to be part of the rise than it would to be a part of we-were-good-a-long-time-ago-and-maybe-we-are-finally-back or we've-always-been-good-for-decades.
I'm semi-joking here, but it's time for Yormack to prove how good of a Power 5 commissioner he is and instruct conference refs to lean against "The Big 2". LOL. Isn't that how these things work? UCF sure has been on the other side of bad conference ref calls. It's our turn? Right? LOL.
Yormack's comments at texas tech have opened some eyes to this possibility people are watching he would be a dummy to try something like this.
It's a joke. I always thought the NCAA should get rid of conference refs.
AAC Refs didn’t call some obvious holds on USF and some of our other opponents last season
Exactly. Oklahoma has only one defensive player on the All-Big 12 preseason team. Texas has just two.
I will say Oklahoma is playing much better on defense than I thought. PFF lists seven players in OU's front seven among the top 250 players at their positions. Texas has only three.
Given that the majority of the Oklahoma guys are Alex Grinch recruits, I am really surprised by the rankings.

Only a few of Riley's players that he recruited are still on OU's team.
Most of the roster is Sophomores and Freshman or Transfers
I would much rather lose to them and win 3 other games to be bowl eligible.
#3 in points Offense
#5 in points allowed Defense
I don't think they care what you think about their roster.
So far for the new teams, only the analysis on UCF and Houston was right- they are horrible and we're probably what was expected. Then again, the season is long and Cincy and BYU could lose every other game.
Texas leads the Big 12 Conference football pack. Beyond that? Well, here's our best shot.
Big 12 Conference football is off to a weird start. Texas and Oklahoma look good, Houston and Iowa State do not and between, teams are jockeying.
