    Remaining BIG 12 Football schedule, great action

    #2 Baylor
    #4 TCU
    #13 OSU
    #14 OU

    All still have to play each other

    Baylor, TCU and OU all have to go to Stillwater

    Either, Baylor/TCU/OSU runs the table and gets a playoff spot

    Or they all take turns beating each other and the Big 12 will be lucky to get one team in

    No matter what, gonna make for some good football every Saturday for the remainder of the season

    Other than a select few teams it's been the most consistent conference this year. Def deserves 2 teams in playoffs imo. I still like Baylor to run the table and hopefully TCU gets in with 1 loss.

    We have 0% chance to go undefeated...sad to say. Just getting by Iowa state and tech would be an incredible season for this team. You would have told me 9-3 before the season I would have slapped you...lol.

    It seems many conferences have teams with good records

    Big 10 also


    Teams will start clipping each other


    15 teams or so have shot for playoff

    Well, i tend to agree with your sentiment.

    But heres the thing, OU lost to dismal Texas, so they can be beat.

    TCU has shown they have a turnstyle defense, and they can be beat.

    Baylor has looked the most unbeatable of all, but they didn't even look great yesterday, even though their margin of victory was 21.

    But we really don't know much about any of these teams yet, because they've all just been picking on the little guys.

    Now it's time to man up and play the big boys.

    As a life long bIg 8/big12 fan, Im pretty excited for the next 6 weeks of football. Pretty much every game will matter and be a tough test.

    I give OSU a 5% chance of going undefeated

    Yep

    Top 4 will look entiret different.

    Utah already out.

    MSU/OSU still to play
    Baylor/TCU still to play
    Alabama/LSU still to play

    Winner of these three games likely in

    Clemson 4th? Like you said, who's gonna beat them? FSU maybe

    Every team in the Big 12 can be beat because they play no defense. Okie State has a big advantage because they play both TCU and Baylor (as well as OU) at home. TCU ends the season at Okie State, a walkover (home to Kansas), at Oklahoma, and home to Baylor. The bad news for them. No game in December, which can kill a team who has one loss and no CC game. Okie State is in the same position, ending the season in November against OU in Bedlam. Baylor host OU, and then goes to Okie State and TCU in November, but finishes at home against Texas in December. They should have a leg up on the rest of the conference.

    Big 12 is crap, only team semi-relevant is TCU, but even they have been disappointing because of their defense. TCU the only team in the conference with a chance to win it all, others would not get past national semifinal.

    I think TCU goes undefeated because I think they beat Baylor at home. Not a big fan of the two Oklahoma teams.

    It's a shame that Baylor's QB (Russell) went down with a fractured neck injury. Normally I would say TCU is the driver seat, but this year their defense is like, Melissa McCarthy.... a bit lethargic, ugly, and comical to watch. Should be fun watch how this all unfolds.

    Nothing funny about that. Bama has lots of good wins.
