Yeah last week.
Kansas State lost to Tulane .
Baylor lost to BYU.
West Virginia lost to Pittsburgh.
Texas Tech lost to NC State.
Michigan is lucky we don’t have to play these powerhouses.
Well he original said Oklahoma is the worst Big 12 team. They just rolled Kansas 😂
Kansas’ starting QB is out for the season. But yes, the ‘Oklahoma is the worst team in the Big 12’ was certainly an overreaction as well.
Man, that sentence just looks weird.
Yeah, who would’ve thought at the beginning of the season that Illinois might be their toughest game outside of Ohio St?
The floor has officially been raised, now it’s time to see where the ceiling is.
Any news? Just a shame---freak ass play. Love that kid, and hope he's ok. Congrats on the "W".
Iowa is going to be interesting. They do bring a lot of players back, but they lost their superstar, and unless Kris goes Keegan from last year I don’t think they replicate that success. Can Iowa finish top in the league led by Kris Murray and Patrick Mccafrey on offense? Maybe, but that expects a significant jump.Discuss
Yesterday was an example of why National Stats should be taken with a grain of salt
Penn State had not played even a competent running game all season and then ran into an excellent one yesterday.
Same with Alabama in pass defense with the exception of when Quinn Ewers was lightning them up before he got hurt.
People think OSU’s defense has improved greatly from last year. They pretty much shut down all the weak offenses last year and then got bludgeoned when they faced a good one. Through 6 games they haven’t played even a remotely good offense yet so I’ll withhold judgement until they stop a team with weapons

Well I guess we’ll know for sure next week when y’all play offensive juggernaut iowa
I don't think 7 L's wins the conference....The conference is down, and balanced----but its not THAT down.Discuss
NOTE: I picked PSU as a Top 5'ish conference team looooooooooong ago. I don't think they lose 10 conference games. Sleeper.
Lots of teams with lots of questions, TBH....
IU returns basically everyone of significance, added a very good class led by two 5*'s, but..............Can we shoot it?
Illinois lost a lot----But is bringing in some stud frosh and transfers. Do they mesh? If so, Illinois caould be really, really good.
Hard to ever be down on MSU or Purdue. Michigan returns Dickinson, very good class as well.
Wisconsin has two preseason 1st team dudes---Damn. Wahl/Hepburn.
IMO it'll be IU, Illinois, PU, MSU, UM and MSU----Penn State is my sleeper. Rutgers as well.
I think B10 will get at least 7 NCAAT teams: Indiana, Michigan, MSU, OSU, Purdue, Wisconsin and Illinois...Penn St/Rutgers very strong candidates.
If ALL goes well, I could see Indiana/Illinois fighting for a spot in the E8/FF. Purdue IMO is a sleeper in regards to being really good, and competing for a B10 title: Edey/Furst/Newman is a capable trio.
Can't wait for the season to get started...
Blake Corum is going to end up a Heisman finalist at this rate. He won’t knock off a QB but would still be cool.
If he’s a running back he basically has no chance to win it. Might get an invite but that’ll be it.
Oh for sure. I just meant more so whether or not he’s a finalist or not. He’s not going to have a full season obviously and they’ve lost now, but they still might just make him a finalist just because he won last year and will be a top 5 pick
You think IF OSU trips up, TN keeps winning, Hooker could sneak in there? That dude is so accurate---especially on the deep throw.
You think they are going to take the second leading rusher in the conference?
Oh I think Hooker is right in the mix already. He just threw for 5 TDs in the marquee game of the year and has a 15/1 TD INT ratio. I think he’d have to fück up at this point to not be a finalist
My bad, I meant win it.....I have no doubt dude will be a finalist.

If the Pharrel Payne hype train is true, we are going to have a very good frontcourt with Battle/Garcia/Payne. Add Ta'lon Cooper at point, who was first team All-OVC last season, we have some talent to work with. Depth is still an issue with Isaiah Ihnen and Parker Fox out for the season again. The good news is, there is plenty of opportunities for our 5 Freshmen to get some PT and experience.
