OU over NU in Big 12 CCG

 

Long story short, if we get any improvement from our passing game, we should win the Big 12. They're taking a wait and see approach.

Who are we behind for the positions we are ranked 2nd in the conference, and who's ahead of the DBs nationally?

I've actually been thinking lately about an Orange Bowl vs. Va Tech. That would be a great matchup. Where do we get athlon's magazine?

I got mine in the mail because I had ordered it. I would imaging it will hit newsstands in the next 2 weeks.

Their website says that the magazines start shipping in mid-June, but I could be reading that wrong. Did you get the one with Crick, Prince, and Pierre Allen on it?

 

Their website also a some stuff on it too.

Yup. I was shocked to see it in the mailbox.

A rematch with Va Tech in the Orange Bowl would be interesting. I wouldn't mind getting a third shot at them at all.

 

Who did they have in/winning the National Championship game?

Aww.... crap, I would've preorder it if I had known it wouldve been here before June.

I think our OL may be over ranked in this, but I think our QB, DB, LB, and WR/TE are under ranked. I asume the 1 loss is to texas, but who do the have OU losing to and who are Texas' two losses to?

They don't give specific wins and losses, only a record. I'm sure if someone had the time they could figure it out...

 

 

Also, here's a link to the online preview page.

Doing a bit of thinking, I'm guessing they have us losing to aTm, and Texas losing to us and OU. OU's loss is probably a Stoops special to aTm or Missouri...

Landry Jones is good for 5 picks

 

Love to see that rematch again as well as Va Tech

OU over NU in Big 12 CCG

 

Long story short, if we get any improvement from our passing game, we should win the Big 12. They're taking a wait and see approach.

 

If you look it says that we went 11-2 and 7-1 in confrence. Does the CCG count as a B12 loss or just a loss? If it does count as a big 12 loss then we had a loss in a non-confrence game. if not then we lost to OU and someone else.

7-1 is only 8 games so it doesn't count the CCG.

Correct. They are assuming 1 conference loss, and a loss in the Big 12 CCG to OU.
