Sucks getting smacked around by a middling Big10 team doesn't it?
15 of the last 16 conference titles. Name another conference that allows one team to dominate like that. And don't say WCC.
Well, for starters, 4 were shared. 2nd, it’s not as if they had no competition.
In ‘05, Self had to beat 6th-ranked Ok St. The next year, #9 Texas. In ‘07, #9 A&M and Kevin Durant’s Texas team. In ‘08, #7 Texas. In ‘09, #7 OU and #9 Missouri. The next year, he beat #7 K-State 3 times. Then #8 Texas. Then #3 Missouri and #9 Baylor. Then #12 KSU. #9 Iowa St. Again #9 ISU. Then #7 OU and #8 WV. #12 Baylor. #14 Texas Tech. And last year, #5 Baylor.
He had to beat a top 10 team almost every year. Some years two.
Self dominates familiar opponents. He wouldn’t win 15/16 in the Big 10, but make no mistake, everyone would know who their daddy was.
