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.

 
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. :angry:

 
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...

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.
