Big 12 NFL Win Trends
Posted by Scipio Tex on October 15th, 2008 under Football
An excellent piece of work from our friends at Atomic Teeth. I was invigorated by this work as much as a potion made of tiger penis drunk from a rhino horn. It’s stuff like this that will revitalize the economy of Blaine, MO until the next stool boom.
There’s a lot of stuff to consider here:
- Look at the win dominance of Texas/OU vis a vis the rest of the Dirty Dozen.
- Compare the 5 year win total on the final chart to the 10. The contrast is program momentum. Kansas, Missouri & Oklahoma State have it. Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas State don’t.
- Anyone else surprised that Texas Tech is #3 in wins in the 5 year view? I’m not. Mike Leach may crap his bed at the micro level from time to time every year, but at the macro level Tech never falls apart during a season. They are massive overachievers. You gutty men from Muleshoe!
Pick it apart and tell me a story.
Or better yet, it’s game week, you could just go over there and manufacture some false enmity between our fan bases. Here’s one Missouri fan’s half-hearted attempt at picking a fight. Dude, did you really just go Aggie and saw the Horns off?
That hurts us when you do that. As much as the upside down Horns.
Please don’t.

This really has been a great start. It’s pretty exciting to see dark horse teams winning by playing solid basketball rather than just shooting the lights out. 4 year players are so key.

Cornell is playing phenomenally well. I’d be surprised if Wiscy doesn’t cut into the lead in the 2nd half.
Jay Bilas may end up looking like a genius.

I really like Cal today.
ATM and Cornell look too good to be true and the public is all over both of them.
I gotta believe that Izzo beats Maryland today, I haven’t been impressed with the Terps this year. I am surprised that they are favored.

gotta,
I think your overall point is a good one. Barnes is a “system” guy especially defensively, which plays into how he overall plays the game. He wants to play a high pressure, overplay man2man scheme predicated on effort, good technique and overall quickness. Similar to Duke, but even Coach K (in fairness

What a glorious, glorious day of basketball at the Ford Center Saturday.
First, Ali Ali Farokhmanesh and all the other Panthers with cool names took down Kansas as Sherron Collins made his best effort to shed that “clutch” label on the last game of his collegiate career. Then of course, Kansas State waved goodbye to Jimmer

It is just amazing to me that most posters think that Jordan has improved so much in the last half of the season.
The one thing I will say is that Jordan has just started to show his ability with a basketball. The reason that he did not show his talents is up to all the -

Offense
Both teams are unselfish and preach sharing the ball. A&M is a balanced scoring team. Sloan showed in the first round against Utah State, for example, that he can defer when his teammates have things going. Purdue once again will have to rely on JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore to produce, and hope

And yes, it appears JoPo wrote pretty much the same thing. It’s hard to believe with all the national talking heads, fans, and everyone in between saying otherwise, but I think it’s the only conclusion to draw for anyone that really watched this team.

A Missouri grad friend asked if Longhorn fans would give her shit if she wore black and gold.
I stared at her with a mix of bemusement and wonder.

Haha – you’ve got to give us Mizzou fans a bit of a break here. It’s been a rather quiet and solemn week so far. If picking a fight is what it takes to pull people out of a stupor, then damn it, it’s worth a shot.

This should be shown to every potential UT recruit and it should be titled “Texas prepares you for the NFL better than anyone else.”

Because this certainly isn’t worth a main post, I’ll throw it in here. This is a quick look at the great start for several Big 12 teams. Here is a table showing where each school’s current team would rank in that school’s history if the season ended today. I found the chart entertaining for a couple of reasons, I’m sure one of them will stick out to everyone here. The list is sorted by current rating.

Nothing says Missouri like coming off a bone-crushing, soul-sucking, mind-numbing defeat to find your season is still your 2nd best ever.

In the Big 12. The Florida schools still rule the roost in that regard.
And, frankly, the post on AT is not to be used for the purposes you suggest. I won’t allow it. I just won’t.

Huck, what if it had been OU 45, Texas 35?
Huckleberry said:
October 17th, 2008 at 3:51 am
What do you mean what if? If OU had won 45-35, OU would be #1 in my ratings and Texas would be #4. Texas would be #13 in the no MOV ratings, but #3 in the predictor-style ratings. The ratings would then have Texas by 7.5 or so this weekend over Missouri instead of 18 or so.
It would then be the #2 Oklahoma team ever and the #5 Texas team.

Sorry to not be more specific. I was looking at the all-time rankings. But you covered it all… thanks.
