Big 12 teams coming off a bye so far this season

Whatever this means...looked it up just for kicks:

  • Baylor W @ Cincinnati 32-29
  • Houston W vs. WVU 41-39 (Thu game)
  • Oklahoma W vs. UCF 31-29
  • OSU W vs. KSU 29-21 (Fri game)
  • Texas W at Houston 31-24
  • BYU L @ TCU 11-44
  • Cincinnati L vs. ISU 10-30
  • KSU L @ OSU 21-29 (Fri game)
  • UCF L vs. Oklahoma 29-31
  • WVU L @ Houston 39-41 (Thu game)

Could be argued that Oklahoma underperformed in their W, UCF overperformed in their L.

Texas maybe underperformed slightly.

Seems like a Bye doesn't have a huge effect in either direction. at least with this small sampling. Couple of teams played each other after their identical byes, so that of course skews the combined results closer to .500.

ISU, KU, TCU and Tech haven't played yet following their byes.

New and Future Big 12 Opponents

As I fade into the twilight of my life, I've become more and more impressed with teams that can recruit and coach up offensive lines. It is the ultimate equalizer to for any talent gaps that exist. USCs defense sucks we saw it first hand at OU, but Wittingham calls a QB shotgun run on 3rd and 4 and he does not get touched until 3 yards past the scrimmage. Talent wise they are not in USCs area code. Then earlier BYU pushed around a more talented TTU game all day long. Gives me hope that can morph into a team that has a oline that can consistently convert on 3rd and manageables that dont involve some sort of quick out.
