AP Top 25 - Mizzou, Baylor, and Texas Tech in top 10

[Pony ^]

Tech will lose to OK St, Baylor, and Texas. Maybe OU. Book it.

San Diego State is dogcrap. They were blown out by Eastern Illinois, an FCS team. It wasn't even close 40-19. Wins over meh Nevada and one win AFA mean nothing to me.
Cal is horrible, a one win team that only beat Portland State. They lost to Oregon St. who lost to an FCS team.
FAMU is horrible. Do I even need to explain this one?

If you think that is solid, I have some oceanfront property in North Dakota to sell you.

Two issues here. One, while the teams OSU has played this year may be having down years, they're WAY above the dog food Baylor has scheduled.

Second, if you rank top to bottom, even having bad years Baylor's schedule is < than OSU's. Baylor is a solid team that is clearly better than the HS teams they've played so far. They likely will hang 60+ on KU, but again, so what? In fact, even if Baylor wins out so what? Congrats on your game against Fresno State or Northern Illinois.

Let's look. tOSU plays EIGHT league games, we play nine. Let's compare one-win Cal against our worst league foe (KU) to get it apples to apples.

Now it's Buffalo-Buffalo, Wofford-FAMU, and ULM-SDSU. ULM when their all-everything QB is healthy (he got hurt after our game) is at least good enough not to lose to Eastern Illinois or some other FCS nobody. Wofford is perennially one of the best FCS teams and nearly beat both Clemson and South Carolina the last two years. FAMU is absolute dogcrap who is 2-5 playing an FCS schedule.

The only matchup that favors tOSU is Cal and they aren't good by anyone's estimation. The Big Ten is pretty awful other than tOSU and Wisky so they get no help there, especially when ducking Nebraska and MSU on the rotation.

If you're trying to argue that Baylor has had a better year...again, I say flip the rankings someone did above, but start with #1 vs #1. It's not even close. They did bottom up, which skews to making the numbers look more balanced. There's that darn Wisconsin team left over.

If you're trying to argue Baylor schedules harder teams...LOLOLOL. Yes, Cal and SDSU are having down years, but you know these are scheduled years in advance. Those are two tough teams to schedule when you're in the Big 10. Please save your Wofford & ULM excuses. Any average year Cal + SDSU >>>>>>>> Wofford + ULM.

If you're trying to argue Big 12 isn't the worst of the P5...you're just embarrassing yourself. Down year? Perhaps. But it is still terrible and Baylor might just be the tallest midget in the circus. Maybe you'll hang 50+ on Fresno State, too.
