wVu: WelcomeIt's now just a matter of when. Mizzou's acceptance isn't officially final, whereas West Virginia's arrival could be delayed until 2014, although the Big XII is expecting them for 2012-13.
It's sort of good for everyone involved. The Big XII is getting a good football and basketball program in West Virginia, who is jumping the sinking Big East ship. Meanwhile, Mizzou took a step up going to the SEC, which is a much stronger conference.
Everyone's looking for for themselves. What I don't understand is why the Big XII is stopping. If the super-conferences are coming, why is the Big XII resting on its laurels while the SEC and ACC are just getting better and better? It doesn't make any sense. Then I realize it's the Big XII.
To the games:
TCU 38, BYU 28
TCU spent a lot of time in BYU territory, three of the touchdowns came after taking over deep in Cougar territory. TCU's won three straight and are 6-2. Casey Paschall's playing very safe and efficient.
Oklahoma (6-1, 3-1) vs. Kansas (7-0, 4-0)
Who foresaw this game being as gigantic as it is in August? Someone's going to lose this game and it's either going to be the crazy Wildcats or -- think about this -- the mighty Sooners, so poised for another national championship. A huge boon for K-State playing this game in Manhattan. They play slow and steady and this is truly their first big test.
Baylor (4-2, 1-2) at Oklahoma State (7-0, 4-0)
Whatever the over/under is, take the over.
Missouri (3-4, 1-3) vs. Texas A&M (5-2, 3-1)
A&M's won three straight scoring 133 total points. Don't think it'll happen, but watch for the slip-up on the Aggies' part with Oklahoma and Kansas State coming up. They're eyes may be wandering.
Kansas (2-5, 0-4) vs. Texas (4-2, 1-2)
Texas' defensive foes shorten up the next couple of weeks and it'll be a good time for either Dave Ash or Case McCoy to take a breath and have the game slow down a bit and for them to get their bearings. Huge timeframe for their development.
Iowa State (3-4, 0-4) vs. Texas Tech (5-2, 2-2)
The Red Raiders have a very good chance at getting nine wins this season with Baylor, Texas, Iowa State and Mizzou still left. Don't be too shocked if they lose two of those either. Beating Oklahoma and I still don't know how really good this team is.
SMU (5-2, 3-1) vs. Tulsa (4-3, 3-0)
If you know how good or bad Tulsa is, I'd like to know. They've lost to three top 10 teams (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Boise State) and beaten four tomato cans (Rice, Tulane, UAB and North Texas). Lost to three of the best. Beat four of the worst. Another huge conference game for SMU.
North Texas (3-5, 2-2) vs. Arkansas State (5-2, 3-0)
The Mean Green won't be hanging a banner or anything in that new stadium. But they shouldn't disregard this season, I don't care the level of competition they took advantage of. Could mess around and win five games.
McNeese State (3-4, 1-2) vs. SFA (2-5, 1-2)
The Jacks have scored 139 points in their two wins. McNeese isn't very good either. Let's play for pride.
