This is a weekly thread to discuss football in the Big 12. Discussion should be limited to football in the conference.
Week 2 Results
- Baylor 48 - #17 SMU 45
I probably need to go on blood pressure medication after this one. Good grief. I’m surprised we beat SMU but lost to Auburn.
- #6 Oregon 69 - Oklahoma State 3
I’m so torn between saying “Gundy will turn it around and make a bowl game,” and “Gundy doesn’t have it anymore.” I’m leaning toward the latter.
- Mississippi State 24 - #12 Arizona State 20
Ouch. There was apparently just too much cowbell for ASU.
- #16 Iowa State 16 - Iowa 13
Any other time this would be considered a weird score, but it was El Assico.
- #24 Texas Tech 62 - Kent State 14
Tech beat up another small school. Still hard to judge their team from this, but at least they can score.
- #25 Utah 63 - Cal Poly 9
Utah continued their rampage through California.
- Missouri 42 - Kansas 31
I didn’t get to watch all of this game, but even in just the few minutes I saw I lost count of how many open receivers Kansas had but couldn’t quite connect. That’s a frustrating way to bring back the rivalry.
- Cincinnati 34 - Bowling Green 20
Cincinnati decided to welcome Eddie George back to FBS with a loss.
- Colorado 31 - Delaware 7
Colorado bounced back in their tune-up game.
- Ohio 17 - West Virginia 10
West Virginia just couldn’t find a consistent rhythm in Athens.
- Army 24 - Kansas State 21
K-State couldn’t quite hold on to their lead, allowing Army to score the last 10 points of the game to regain the lead for the last time.
- Houston 35 - Rice 9
Houston held a decent lead for most of the game, but then ran away with it in the 4th quarter over their in-town rivals.
- UCF 68 - NC A&T 7
It’s hard to appropriately judge a game like this, but there was at least improvement over last week.
- Arizona 48 - Weber State 3
Arizona apparently prefers propane to charcoal (boo, I know).
- BYU 27 - Stanford 3
It wasn’t a good weekend to be a California team playing a team from Utah.

These tiers are going to cause a lot of tears. Settle down.
Since we’re still early in the season things will change quickly. However, there’s enough national data to start to have some actual “rankings.” I’m borrowing a lot of data from my buddy over at u/CFPResumeRankings. The philosophy is basically to reward teams for doing well and to punish teams for not doing well. Simple, right? u/CFPResumeRankings does a ranking based on your resume, and your resume is affected by your wins, your losses, your opponents’ wins, your opponents’ losses, your strength ratings, and your opponents’ strength ratings. I largely used his data and then completely ruined that process by adding my own bias.
