Man I miss football at RFK!
Wayne Baumgardner (spell fail) shout out at the end. Evidently he is an ESPN cameraman doing the game.
lol @ Texas being the #24 team in the country
They are soooo bad on offense. A couple of freshmen running backs and two below-avergae QBs... yeesh.
I'm sure they would kill to have Tanner Price right now.
The Big 12 this year is the perfect example of why you should pull for your conference rivals in their OOC games.
In the current Sagarin rankings (updated 12/25) the Big 12 has:
#3 OSU (11-1)
#4 OU (9-3)
#11 aTm (6-6)
#12 Baylor (9-3)
#14 KSU (10-2)
#16 Mizzou (7-5)
#17 Texas (7-5)
Anyone who has watched much college football this season knows that there's no way 7 of the Big 12's 10 teams are top 17 teams. Several of those teams are WAAAAAAY overrated.
So why are the Big 12 teams ranked so high?
The Big 12 went 27-3 in OOC games, 8-3 in OOC games vs BCS conf opponents (I'm going ahead and counting TCU as BCS).
OSU 3-0 (Arizona, Tulsa, LA-Laf)
KSU 3-0 (Miami FL, Kent St, Eastern KY)
BAY 3-0 (TCU, Rice, Stephen F Austin)
OU 3-0 (FSU, Tulsa, Ball St)
MIZZ 2-1 (Miami OH, Western Ill; lost to Arizona St)
TEX 3-0 (UCLA, BYU, Rice)
aTm 2-1 (SMU, Idaho; lost to Arkansas)
ISU 3-0 (Iowa, U Conn, Northern Iowa)
TT 3-0 (Nevada, New Mexico, TX St)
KAN 2-1 (Northern Ill, McNeese St; lost to Ga Tech)
The TCU, and possibly Iowa, win is the only one that is actually impressive.

Which of those teams do you think are overrated, and by how much? The Big 12 is set up to have a very, very good bowl season. Missouri stomped UNC, and Texas will win tonight. It's nice to call them overrated, but they're beating teams.
I know you really hate Texas though, so keep on keepin on.
