Forecasting The Big 12 South- Nov. 2

Posted by TaylorTRoom on November 2nd, 2009 under Football

Texas and TAMU had the big jumps in the Sagarin Predictor model that drives this analysis. Texas is now listed as one of the nation’s top 3 teams, and would be a .5 point dog to Florida and a .5 point favorite over Bama. TAMU is a solid, middle of the road Big 12 squad, which is much better than they looked three weeks ago.

Texas has the inside track for the Big 12 Championship game, and looks to be a 23 point favorite at BU, a 20 point favorite hosting KU, and a 15 point favorite at TAMU. For comparison, in 2006, going into the last three games, we were 17 point favorites hosting OSU, 15 point favorites at KSU, and 13 point favorites hosting TAMU.

TAMU looks like they will be bowl eligible, needing a collapse against both CU and BU to not be so. BU isn’t going to make it, although they could screw up TAMU’s season.

The OSU/TT game in two weeks will go a long ways towards deciding their respective bowl fates, and looks to be a very even game.

The OU/NU game is huge. NU looks like the North’s strongst team, but will have a hard time winning the North with a loss to OU. However, if OU loses, it will be great because…OU will have lost.

  1. OU wins by 30. Pelini’s cupboard is just bare on offense, with a freshman quarterback leading some guys from the drive-thru at the Lincoln Wendy’s.

    The good news, though, is that Suh and Crick may show us how deep OU is at quarterback.

    To say A&M a middle of the road Big 12 this year means they suck the big one. I think they are better than that. KSU wins the north or is given it by default b/c Neb is that bad, but im not over looking the Aggies like I should.

    One more thing about the chart- the number next to opponent names represents the game’s rank in difficulty (based on predicted point differential) on a team’s schedule, from hardest to easiest. You see that Texas has played its 3 toughest opponents on the schedule, with #4 being at TAMU (slightly ahead of @Mizzou). OU has lost to #1 and #3, and still has #2 (@NU) and #4 (@TT). TAMU has its two most difficult games coming up, and beat #3 soundly, but was crushed by #4 and #%, so who knows what to make of them? Poor Baylor was only expected to beat Kent State and NW State (I recognize they were rated higher earlier in the season).

  4. NU can lose to OU and still take the north. Though both NU and KSt have 2 conference losses today, NU has played one less conference game than KSt. So if NU loses to OU but beats @KU, KSt, and @CU, they will have the same number of conference losses but NU will own the head to head over KSt. It’s a tall order for NU, but the head to head vs. KSt looms larger than the OU game.

    Avery Bradley, who shot 77% from the foul line in high school and is now shooting 47% at Texas would probably be shooting closer to his high school average if he played at Duke.

    Sweet Jesus that’s ridonkulous.

    I really don’t want to repeat the horrid situation of the past few years where we starved for depth and talent at DT. It’s critical not to let defensive line recruiting slip. That said, if we bring in two tackles and two ends this year that would be 21 scholarships used on the
