Anyone paying any attention at all can see that the Big 12 is a much better conference than the AAC or MWC and that committee/ESPN simply has a bias against this conference that isn’t based on quality of play. It’s not even conspiratorial at this point. TCU straight up took it to Michigan 2 years ago and there has been 0 credit given for that.

I don’t think this is going to play out, but I’ll be absolutely rooting for Notre Dame to beat Army, and I f**king hate that I’m doing that.

This committee/ESPN is ruining the sport with their king making and bias-built narratives. It’s not the Big 12’s fault.

Troy Davis’s first 2K season was the first year I was really into sports. I was 10, and it absolutely gutted me when he didn’t get the Heisman. I still hate Florida to this day.

KSU fans online are the absolute worst. And I’ll never get it, because IRL, they’re fantastic. They are basically the exact same people as us (Midwestern farmers), and that’s why our rivalry is a hoot – it’s the Spiderman meme.

OK State is the same way (with a little more Southwestern/cowboy flair). My guess is they’re just miserable for a lot of the same reasons many of you are this year. Their collapse is even more dramatic.

I would take anything you see on Twitter (or whatever Spaceboy calls it now) with a grain of salt (as I often need to remind myself) as it’s not super representative of anything.

Losing the Nebraska game really sucked for us, and that ran a century deep. But at this point we’ve had the realignment noose around our neck for 15 years. It is what it is. I guess we’ve always had at least 4 other Big 8 schools with us, so this is still more of our natural home than anywhere else. KSU is our biggest conference rival, and the only thing I have any confidence in RE the future of college football is that ISU and KSU are going to be in the same place. And we’ve never had to move leagues (yet) so maybe we’d view it differently with the shoe on the other foot.

Appreciate the info. We’re a fairly effective passing team when we want to be (we probably have the league’s best WR 1 and WR 2 outside of Boulder), but Campbell really loves to try and establish the run. As good as you guys are against the run, it feels like a fool’s errand, but we’ll undoubtedly persist for most of the first half.

Cincy had something like 280 rushing yards but only 60 passing yards on us. Don’t be surprised if you slice through our defense on your first possession on your way to an easy TD, move the ball well for a series or two after that (and get some a field goal or two) and then find yourself in the 4th quarter with a s**t load of yards and no more points. Our DC is kind of a wizard like that. The game will come down to how much our offense can claw against an elite D. I would hammer the under on this one.

Is this Whittingham’s last year? Between the coach-in-waiting announcement, and his comments about not being in Vegas in a couple of years, it comes off like a guy on this way out the door. But firing a coordinator mid-season gives off the opposite vibe.
