Looking at the Big XII key non con games

[outhereincali]

I am going to do this by each conference.

little ten
9/2/17 Texas vs MD
9/9/17 OK vs tOSU
9/9/17 IA vs ISU
We should beat the Terrapins
The buckeyes should win but who knows.
I think ISU has a decent chance.
With a little luck the Big XII can go 3/0

SEC
9/2/17 KSU vs Vanderbilt
9/9/17 TCU vs AR
KSU should win easy
I never liked AR. TCU pi**ed. it away last year against AR. They have another chance this year.
ACC
WV vs VT neutral site game
OSU vs Pitt
Baylor vs Duke
VT should roll
OSU was lucky to beat Pitt last year
Duke is Baylor's first non con game against a P5 school since 2009. Pathetic
I see the Big XII going 1/2 with Baylor winning.
Pac XII
9/16/17 TX vs SC
9/9/17 TT vs AZSU
This is one game I think we'll lose
TT doesn't have a chance and Kingsbury will be fired at the end of the season.

With some luck the Big XII can go 5/0 against the little ten and the SEC. The buckeyes are the only good team on that list.

I've already picked the ACC

The same with the Pac XII.

If ISU and OK can bring it on home the Big XII should finish 6/4 against the best teams. But that's just my opinion what's yours?

The games that interest me (besides Texas' games):
ou vs tOSU: Ordinarily, I would say Coach Meyer hands down, but, it is difficult to speculate how Riley will do at his 1st HC gig with a lot of lights shining. I still think tOSU runs away with it.

TCU vs Arky: I believe Arky will win again. Paul Rhoades is the new DC at arky. I am hopeful for a TCU victory.

WVa vs VT: No clue who wins, but, a good regional matchup.

TT vs ASU: I think you are right. ASU rolls.

I to think Lincoln Riley is the wild card in this game. Who knows maybe he's a star in the making.

WV is not that good. Nobody in the Big XII has benefited more from the mediocre competition in the Big XII more than WV. OK and OSU did a stomp dance on them and they were lucky to beat us. VT has a good team and a promising coach. They should win easy.

Pitt is another team on the rise with a promising new coach. Dyk they beat Clemson and Penn State last year? Like VT they should roll.

True. Who would have thought Stoops would do as well as he did? It is always a gamble for a blue blood D1 school to hire an OC for the head job. Other D1s or mid majors and the rest is pretty normal to go the OC route.

Also, good point about Pitt. I had forgotten Narduzzi was the HC.

 

[clob94]

Ima tell you right now, WVU with give VA tech all they want.

I don't think iowa st stays within 2 tds of iowa. Call me crazy.

 

[westx]

Anybody going to catch the USF at San Jose State? The spread is -21.5 USF. They are calling it "Week 0" and it will be tomorrow night. I think it was smart of Charlie to retain the services of Sterlin Gilbert.

I think 7:30 on cbs sports. Not cbs

We should handle Maryland. As far OU vs tOSU. Ohio state will likely blow them out like last year. I don't see it being close.

Virginia Tech is a well coached team.....great defensive coordinator......if they have a decent QB I think they beat WV. The HC is a star on the rise I believe.

Man, I looked up a little history on him. I actually remember him at ou and coaching at Memphis. I didn't know about him being the QB coach in the TCU/Dalton era. I believe you are right, he will be a hot commodity. I don't know but, perhaps, aggy will go for him after Sumlin crashes and burns this season or heck, even ou, if Riley can't handle the spotlight.

Swvahorn, would ye care to make a wager over the WVU vs Va Tech game? Va Tech is a 5 point fav?

I'm thinking a pizza ordered and delivered.

 

[ryan_sublett]

I think Riley will do a solid job at OU. May have a rough year 1 though. Timing kinda awkward, didn't get to hire his staff. Yeah he's worked with most of the staff but that's just it he's worked with them. Little different being the boss.

How can VT have a 5 points over WV with NO returning QB? Doesn't make sense to me. We betting straight up win or lose or the points? I would not give 5 points to either team. You probably know this but they are BITTER RIVALS like Texas and ou...?

 

[clob94]

Errr...... the Vegas line is 5 my man. Btw, ground beef, mushroom and jalapenos.

Extra cheese if you're feeling froggy.

Nah, I kind of think WV wins that game anyway....just would not be shocked to see VT pull it out. Great defense, great coaching.

Swvahorn is fvcking up my chances for free pizza. Pizza Nazi!

 

[GAU8A]

We should beat the Terrapins

haha, faggit.

haha, faggit.

You're gone.

Dog fight dude. Dog fight. Knew it would be.

If you're going to use a sexual slander, at least spell it right so that we know you're not stupid, and a deushenozzle.

Naa.he got handed the keys to a Ferrari....Herman got keys to a pacer. Riley will be fine.

No shock at all for that game.

Fuente is a helluva coach. He and PJ Fleck both.

I would have loved Fuente to be the coach at Texas. Told my brother who LOVES VT that. He didn't know much about him...he is singing his praises now. I still think Herman gets the ship squared away. It may be a rough year but I think he will change every coach if he HAS to to fix this. It is too important to him to just try the same thing and expect different results. The players have a lot to do with what is going on. No coach can do it for them as dj says on this forum....he is right.

To me, it was John Harbaugh or Tom Herman. The thing that really impresses me about TH, is his level of organization, top to bottom. An organized business or team is the foundation of a great program. I honestly believe, no sh?t, that TH will do well. It will be telling if we improve as the season progresses. In years passed, we regressed as the season went.

 

[LonghornSoldier]

haha, faggit.

lmao, must be a closet aggy - or else maryland has an equally disappointing educational program.... but what can you expect from a fan base that - much like a&m- have never been an "IT" program.... lmao glad he got the boot, i would have worn out my keyboard making him look worse than he does on his own...

I agree with you 100%. Well said.

Looking at week two for non con games.
ISU/IA I assume this is ISU's biggest game of the year and they're at home which means the visiting team will supply the zebras. As if ISU fb didn't have enough troubles they will have to deal with the little ten zebras. It will be interesting to see if the cyclones get called for offensive pass interference three times.
OSU/Pitt I picked Pitt back in the summer. Now I'm not so sure.
TCU/AR I don't know
AZS/TT at least 90 points will be scored but AZS should win.
OK/tOSU along with OSU and TCU the Big XII will supply the zebras for this game. Along with TX/SC these are the biggest non con games in the Big XII this year. I hope our Big XII zebras ref this game like TX/MD lets give the little ten a taste of their own medicine. Let the buckeyes get called for opi three times in one game. I want our conference to go all out for our conference the way the others do.

That's right I said it. I mean not even KS and the Cleveland Browns got called for ten different 10+ penalties in one game. I know most fans will disagree but i feel this way about non con games. I can't remember who they played but this happened to OSU last year.
