Last Week: 5-4
Overall: 5-4
Good week for the Big 12! Considering the shit week Texas (they didn’t deserve to appear last week) and Baylor (re-upped shit week) had in week 1, this week has the league pointed in the right direction. As i’m sure you know, OU continued to carry the league this week with an enormous win at Ohio State (31-16). However, don’t over look the big win from TCU over Arkansas in Fayetteville (28-7). For a conference unfairly seen as Oklahoma and the Nine Dwarfs, TCU taking out a solid SEC team by three touchdowns on their own field is a big deal. Stacking these two big wins is a good start, but the Big 12 can really build on the resume in Week 3 as many teams take this show on the road.
#9 Oklahoma State @ Pittsburgh (anOSU -13.5)
Yeeeeah Oklahoma State had no issue with South Alabama last week. Come at me, @FreezingColdTakes. anOSU brings a great offense and more than a serviceable defense into Heinz Field, where they’ll meet a Pitt team reeling after a rough loss at Penn State. Unfortunately for Pitt, this is a bad team to come home to. OSU 42-13
Kansas @ Ohio (OHIO -8.0)
Sorry for jinxing you last week KU. It doesn’t get better this week. OHIO 17-7
Delaware State @ West Virginia (No line)
It’s cupcake szn in West Virginia! This one is gonna be very, very, very ugly. WVU 63-3
Iowa State @ Akron (ISU -10)
Seriously, WHY DO YOU NEED TO GO TO AKRON, IOWA STATE? YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS. God, I hate the fucking Big 12. ISU 21-10
Baylor @ Duke (DUKE -14.0)
I KNEW IT BAYLOR. I WANTED TO, BUT I COULDN’T. YOU STILL BLEW IT. UTSA?? DEAR GOD. THIS IS WORSE THAN THE DEATH PENALTY. THAT WOULD HAVE AT LEAST BEEN A CLEAN, MERCIFUL DEATH. NOW YOU HAVE TO ROT AWAY WITH NOTHING BUT C.A.B. FLAGS TO DRY YOUR TEARS. DUKE 45-10.
(PS. See y’all next week. Get the Vitek’s ready.)
SMU @ #20 TCU (TCU -18.0)
Iron Skillet time! The lamest rivalry with the dopest trophy is back for another edition. every once in awhile, SMU shows up and plays TCU tough. I think it’ll be tight for a half, before TCU’s offense picks up steam to close it out. TCU 28-13
#18 Kansas State @ Vanderbilt (KSU -4.0)
Gamblers, lock this shit right now. K-State, always disrespected is getting 4 points on a lesser team? Not only that, but in a venue that will probably be split with how well K-State travels. The Wildcats put away Vandy easily. KSU 24-10
Arizona State @ Texas Tech (TTU -7.5)
All the points! You get a touchdown, you get a touchdown! This one will be a firework show in Lubbock. Strap in, it’ll be fun. TTU 56-52
Texas @ #4 USC (USC -16.5)
Texas is back folks! Well, at least back to being in this column. Tom Herman has a knack for winning big games, but Southern Cal in the Coliseum is just too much. USC 38-27
Tulane @ #2 Oklahoma (OU -33.5)
Fresh off the big win in the Horseshoe, will the Sooners come out hot against Tulane? Of course. This one is easy. OU 52-3
