Top 25 wins (end of season) - OSU - 3; TCU - 2; Baylor - 1
Undisputed Conference Champ - OSU - yes; TCU/Baylor - No (co-champs)

Special thanks to Bob Stoops, who, with one inexplicable coaching decision, allowed ISU to return a punt for a TD in the final minute, then lost in overtime to remove a "good" win from TCU/Baylor.

SOS - OSU 45, TCU 53, Baylor, 59

Opponent records:

Ohio State - 84-60
TCU - 61-70
Baylor - 61-70

Bowl eligible opponent wins: OSU - 10, TCU - 7, Baylor - 6


OSU deserved to be in. In fact, they were really close to #3 instead of #4.

Great post CWERPH!

Baylor didn't help themselves by scheduling a horrible OOC...with having no champ game, they need to schedule better. It's not big 12's fault they don't have a champ game...they just don't have enough teams per NCAA rules.

Not sure who they could add, but I think you'll see them add better OOC teams to their schedules.

I heard Cincy was a possibility to join the Big XII

I don't think they will take Cincy, he is too short and is kind of a dick

Baylor losing to West Virginia is not much worse than our VT loss.

I am tired about hearing about our loss. We had a reason. What was Baylor and TCU excuse?

Road games and we were huge favorites at home...not condoning it, just what they're saying.

It might not solve everything but it is still better and the playoffs has two great matchups

Saban vs Meyer
Heisman winner this year vs Heisman winner last year


Lot of great story lines. The playoffs are going to be great.

The absolute best part of all this is that Baylor got penalized, at least indirectly, for scheduling cupcakes. Forcing schools to now want to schedule quality ooc opponents is good for the game all around. I'm so sick of all this talk about this conference is better than that conference all season and there are only a few scattered games between them to even make a comparison on. You can't prove the Big Ten, right now (not week two...NOW) is "down". There aren't enough games from which to make a comparison. And you can't say the Big XII is better because TCU beat Minnesota or Iowa St beat Iowa. That isn't enough to go on.

The bowls will tell a better story, but it would be nice to get that story during the season with real ooc match-ups. That would actually give the committee (and the polls) data points with which to rank teams, instead of just perceptions and undefeated records thanks to a generous dose of cupcakes early in the year.

I don't think I am alone in saying, I'd rather not find out how strong the conference is during the bowls without having a better idea of it before the season is even over. I'd rather Ohio State went to the Macaroni and Cheese Bowl than get embarrassed again like in 2006, which is what started this whole nonsense.

I think a good fit for the Big XII would be BYU and Boise State. BYU has been saying they aren't as keen on being independent now as they were originally, and love them or hate them, BSU isn't going away. Boise has outlived the one-hit-wonder stage, just like Oregon has to a greater degree, but without a corporate sponsor like Nike.

Umm...you have seen our OOC schedule, right? We have our share of pastries too.

Our OOC was disappointing this year bib when we scheduled VT they were a very good program. Navy is no slouch and Cincy is the best program in ohio not named ohio state.

If I'm not mistaken next years is worse.

Next years is definitely worse. At VT, then it's Hawaii, Western Meatchicken, and Northern Illinois. Yay.

Will probably need to go undefeated to return to the CFP next year with that crappy schedule.

Hopefully, the rest of the B1G will help by sucking less.

Looking at the overall schedule, they had better go undefeated. The most dangerous game at this point is the same team we lost to this year.
