[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129411299, member: 1754664"] I'm not "worried" because we are out of it and what happens to the other teams is more just interesting than something I can get worked up about. The Big 12's obvious problem is that none of its teams that remain in contention played a particularly good OOC schedule and 2 of them deliberately chose to play wimp schedules. Oklahoma has a decent win over Tennessee. UT is almost certainly a bowl team and plays in the SEC. It also has a favorable stretch run of games and could win out and finish with only 1 loss to an unranked team. that is obviously far more than anything Baylor or OSU will have to brag about if either of them finishes with 1 loss. TCU's win over Minnesota is, unfortunately, the only other decent OOC win in the entire conference. Now, WVU has always played at least one Power 5 team (it's not our fault Um has sucked recently) and has stepped it up for future schedules. Texas has played good OOC schedules (not done well against them lately). OU has played decent OOC games. The rest of the conference has mostly played all creampuffs except ISU-Iowa and ISU is pretty irrelevant. Instead of whining about the predicament they put themselves in if they lose a game, the other teams need to man up or shut up if they don't make it. [/QUOTE]
