With the 2015 NFL Draft in the books, it’s fun to take a look at who might be the top pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. There is a lot of football to be played and a lot of scouts minds to be changed due to Combine numbers (and other factors) but let us take […]

The kind folks at Athlon Sports asked me to participate in an experts poll ranking the Big 12 coaching jobs. (Insert joke here.) You can find the results here. For the sake of conversation, here’s how I voted. Note that I based my rankings on the question of where I thought I could win the […]
Baylor, which was torn to shreds by UCF in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl, badly needs to beat Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl — not only to bolster the Big 12 in comparison with the Big Ten, but to avoid an 0-for-2 albatross in premium postseason contests.

In a move sure to be dubbed as Prop Ronald Reagan, conferences are preparing to “deregulate” their championship games, according to a report from Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com. The news naturally raises the question of whether a title game is coming for the Big 12. The 10-team league co-sponsored the measure with the ACC, so […]

Only two of the best three teams in the nation according to the Ken Pom ratings is going to go to the Final Four. That’s because there is a potential battle of behemoths looming in the Elite 8 between the Wisconsin Badgers and Arizona Wildcats. All season long the Badgers have eviscerated opponents with the […]

With a couple of notable exceptions, the Big 12 quarterback class of 2014 failed to light the world on fire like some of it’s predecessors. Bryce Petty and Trevone Boykin were dynamic, but beyond those two stars was a mishmash of the good, the mediocre and the forgettable. In 2011, the Big 12 had four […]

Conference play has surpassed the midway point and the NCAA tournament is just more than a month away. The usual suspects like Duke, Kentucky, Louisville, Kansas and Arizona remain in line to contend for a national championship, but as always with March madness comes the aura of unpredictability. While few would be surprised if any […]

The big story at Texas since Arkansas eviscerated the Longhorns in the Texas Bowl has been the hard charge being made by Charlie Strong toward the finish line on national signing day. The wooing process led to a revelation that was overshadowed by speculation about five-star studs and a turf war with Texas A&M. After […]

Baylor has a couple of different styles of helmets worn during the season. The matte green helmet is the best, but the gold reflective chrome dome they wear at times is not bad either. Now, Baylor has a gray helmet to add to the collection… New addition to the family! pic.twitter.com/t7llgdOEwT — Jeff Barlow (@JeffEquipBU)

For degenerate gamblers, bowl season is a bit like staring at an In-N-Out Burger separated from you by a minefield. If the regular season treated you kindly, no need to risk blowing yourself up for some fast food. If you took it on the chin for the last three months, jump in and hope you’re […]

Ever since its inception, the Big 12’s story has been one of standoffs, clashing egos and marriages of convenience. When the Southwest Conference merged with the Big 8 in 1996, tensions arose between the league’s two marquee programs, Nebraska and Texas, almost immediately over issues such as partial academic qualifiers. The Cornhuskers and Longhorns also […]

Author @TheCoachBart Well, we’re only one week away from DOOM one way or another. The CFB Playoff committee seems to just be pulling things out of the hat, so for the sake of being decent people, why not help those 12 people along and let them know which semifinal playoff matchups we (you?) would probably […]
TCU and Baylor have already played each other, but both teams will have to face Kansas State in a cluttered and contentious race to the Big 12 finish line. How the Big 12 plays out will have something to do with Notre Dame’s status at the end of the season, provided the Fighting Irish can win out and finish at 11-1.

After the Baylor Bears finished dragging his unit up and down the field Saturday afternoon, Oklahoma Sooners defensive coordinator Mike Stoops made a telling comment in the postgame press conference regarding his attitude going into the game: “Well there is so much stress on your defense when you play Baylor. It is not only the […]
