Big 12 in Bowl Games

[JTrain]

First, some trivia: When was the last time a conference with at least 6 teams in the post-season went undefeated in their bowl games?

 

Now, do you think the Big 12 can pull it off this year? Here are the games, with my confidence in the Big 12 winning each:

 

Texas over Ohio State (85%)

Kansas over Minnesota (80%)

Missouri over Northwestern (75%)

Texas Tech over Ole Miss (75%)

Oklahoma St. over Oregon (70%)

Oklahoma over Florida (70%)

Nebraska over Clemson (55%)

 

Which means, according to me, a 10.3% chance of the Big 12 going 7-0. It would be an amazing feat, and this is certainly the year to do it.

Only 55%? I give us 65% at least. All the other games aren't too bad though. It would be great to see us going undefeated but i don't see it happening because i think Oregon State and Ole Miss are underrated but that's just me.

[JTrain]

It will be interesting to see what attitude Okie St. goes in with. They certainly have the horses to beat Oregon (not Oregon St., BTW) handily.

[SkullandBones]

55% does seem somewhat low to me too. Could be wrong but I don't see us as the most likely BIG12 school to lose a bowl game.

[JTrain]

I thought I might have been showing a little bias with my 55%. The fact that we are the slight underdog shows most people would have that number closer to 45%.

Vegas odds rankings:

Kansas over Minnesota (-10.5)

Texas over Ohio State (-9.5)

Texas Tech over Ole Miss (-5.5)

Oklahoma St. over Oregon (-3.5)

Nebraska over Clemson (+3)

Oklahoma over Florida (+3.5) <-- headscratcher

Can someone explain what the + means or how to read it?

Can someone explain what the + means or how to read it?

(-) means you are favored

(+) means you are the underdog.

 

The number is obviously the points

 

i.e. Clemson is a 3 pt. favorite

[SkullandBones]

Wow. I haven't looked at any of that yet, but, OU is getting points? hmm.

You know, with the exception of the Texas game - blowout of epic proportions inmho - I think the Big12 bowl games are going to be a blast to watch. Really interesting match ups accross the board.

Okie State vs Oregon is going to be ridiculous!

[SkullandBones]

exactly, that one and the tech game should be a ball.

I completely disagree. I think the Big 12 got extremely favorable match-ups, and with the exception of the Gator and maybe the NCG and the Holiday, they're all potential blowouts in the Big 12's favor.

Living in Arkansas, I will say this. I hope the SEC doesn't win a bowl game. On the other hand, the Cotton BOwl is HUGE to Houston Nutt! He will have his kids fired up to play in it! I aint too sure about that one!
