ok, and if Missouri hadn’t won all 20 of their other games they wouldn’t be nationally ranked as high as #2 by all the others opinion heads either I guess. what a great conference where IL. and N.Dame can’t beat Missouri but two league teams can. what a poorly managed league where a tv network and a university can flush all the hard work of every other sport program down the toliet. “dear voters at Big 12 institutions (and fans who pay for the product by turning on the tv and attending the games), grow a spine and tell world wrestling federation fixers to get out of the Big 12 so people in this region can have a real conference where the Big 12-land athletes decide a new Big 12-land champion every year.” 99% of the STUDENT-athletes who can never go pro are waiting for you to cowboy/girl up so they don’t have to spend 4 years of their lives knowing homeland security airport agents better than their professors. This is the problem Com. Nenas, not Nebraska, or Colorado, or Texas A&M, or you latest place to blame Missouri. The reason you can’t form a schedule is ______ and _______ let us hear you say it.

Hey, chance — this morning’s updated ESPN Big XII power rankings had OU… SIXTH. The only difference they had with Berry was that they switched texas and Kansas State. Do you follow sports well enough to be familiar with ESPN? Sorry they blew you’re “homerism” argument to kingdom come.

Chance, looks to me like 6 through 9 are all 3-5. Why is so hard to believe that OU might be the team that finishes 6th?

ou at 6th?!? really? The homerism of this paper is outstanding. You’ve got the football articles pleading with America to believe ou will be national title contenders with almost an identical team next year, plus a failed head coach…now you are really pushing for the bottom feeder of the big12 to finish 6th and go to the NIT? wow. Do you all watch basketball at all?

The plus/minus ranking is right in line with The Power Rank. We only downgrade Iowa State and upgrade Texas. We’ll see how this works out the rest of the season. Below, the number by each team is how many points better than the average Big 12 team.

1. Kansas, 6.92
2. Missouri, 6.87
3. Baylor, 5.23
4. Kansas State, 2.67
5. Texas, 0.99
6. Iowa State, 0.08
7. Oklahoma, -1.99
8. Oklahoma State, -4.44
9. Texas A&M, -5.03
10. Texas Tech, -11.30
