Another way to look at pace: Plays per minute of possession:

Name   
Baylor   3.2
Oklahoma State   2.9
West Virginia   2.7
Iowa State   2.6
Oklahoma   2.5
Texas Tech   2.5
Kansas   2.3
Texas   2.2
TCU   2.2
Kansas State   2.0

After our defensive 2nd half last night, I think the Baylor game may concern me most right now. Even with our TOP advantage, our defense seemed to be getting worn down and was giving up big chunks of yardage. Hopefully some of that was, as I suspect, due a bit to being flustered over Klein's injury and the new OSU QB.

Welp.

That one week at #1 was the greatest week of all time.

[Mikeyis4dcats]

That one week at #1 was the greatest week of all time.

tonight ruined that week.  I'd rather remember the weeks at #2.

Jesus, they dropped us below 2 loss teams?

[Houstoncat93]

Yes, getting your ass kicked by Baylor is worth at least 2 losses

may as well be worth 10 losses in my book

Well, that sucks.

[Scary Smart]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does our ranking only matter at this point in case there is some huge tiebreaker for the Big 12 title and the highest BCS ranking represents the conference in a BCS bowl? And if we beat Texas our ranking won't really matter at all?

You called it. I suppose I let optimism and over confidence get in the way.

I have to be honest, if I was voting I would've had a tough time keeping us in the top 10 after that terrible display of football.

Yep.  I was mildly surprised to see that we only fell that far.

No,  I can't find any scenario where the BCS would factor into the tie breaker.  There are other tie-breakers that would figure out who gets the Fiesta Bowl bid before it got to BCS standings.  They all include ties for 7-2 between a combo of KSU, UT, OU, and OSU, including all 4 finishing 7-2.  In all of them UT wins the tiebreakers. 

Also, if we beat UT our rankings don't matter.  We get the bid over OU if we both finish 8-1.

Edit: I did think of 1 scenario where the BCS does play in.  Its if OU beats OSU then loses to TCU.

Oh, jfc.  We are a top 10 team.  We win against texas and we are OSU from last year.   Buck the F up.  It was a shitty game, but we are still good.  If bill /the team handles it right, we will be ok.

Good post.

[Stevesie60]

Based on player's tweets, and a bye week, we'll be fine for December 1st.

[SkinnyBenny]

Post the tweets here.

Our offense has looked like crap for the past month.  It is far from a given that we are a top 10 team and that we will beat Texas.

It has only been bad since Klein's concussion. He is concust, and is playing like crap.

To be fair, he isn't the only offensive player playing like crap and the coaches mumped up last night just as badly as the players
