Title: I'm no fan of the BiG . . .
Post by: sonofdaxjones on September 07, 2014, 11:49:21 AM
and I get why that conference should be criticized.   But I'm not really getting why Michigan State should be lumped in there.   I'm not really sure why Ohio State after the loss of their starting quarterback should be lumped in there.   You lose a talented senior like Miller and you're going to have some struggles, particularly against a decent team like VT.   

The MSU vs Oregon was back and forth for much of the game, but Oregon just had one of those bursts that we all know that Oregon can do in Autzen at the drop of a hat (with a nod to the angry Vandy fan). 

Nobody with a brain thought Michigan was going to be anything special.   I thought Wisky played a tough, very respectable game against LSU in what was basically a road game. 

I don't know, it just seems like a certain flagship sports network is doing some excessive hammering and I don't think it's any conspiracy to say that they probably have an agenda.   They have way more financial irons in the fire for one particular conference and it's starting to show in the angles they are taking IMO.

The big 10's struggle yesterday was good news for the B12. We're much more likely to get an 11-1 team in the CFP now.

The Big 12 is equally winless in power 5 contests, plus Texas getting rolled by power 5* BYU.
Next up, Cats vs Auburn.

I wish OU or Baylor would have scheduled a decent opponent so we could chant Big 12 after they won. But they didn't. So we have as much proof that the Big 12 is good as the big 10 has.

Dax, I believe the big 10 tier one is coming up in 2016. It is almost a given that they will go with Fox who already is the minority partner in the big 10 network. 

Expect nothing but haterade from the world wide leader unless Delaney is no longer charge

It's a great opportunity to say "Nebraska, you're an idiot"

Have fun playing routers!  :drool:

The B12 has 7 games vs the Power 5 this Saturday.

ISU at Iowa
KU at Duke
WVU at Maryland
Minnesota at TCU
Tennessee at OU
Arkansas at TT
UCLA vs UT (neutral)

Then of course, Auburn at K-State

The Big 12 will have its chances. We just need to hope the conference doesn't fall flat on its face or we'll be in just as bad of a position as the big 10.

ISU, WVU, TCU, and OU all have at least a halfway decent chance of winning. Cats, too, of course.
