So, Texas A&M loses to a 3-5 team and plummets all the way to...

...#11?????? Really? That's it?

Baylor loses to a respectable TCU and drops to #25........

And some say there's "no bias" in these polls.

Baylor got beat by 40 points to a struggling unranked team at home. A&M lost by a touchdown to a struggling unranked team on the road. It's not hard to figure out why Baylor dropped like a rock. No "SEC conspiracy" on that one.

Beat a ranked team 40 and you're "struggling"? I guess you don't believe in the "You're only as good a your last game" theory.

To be fair, Baylor is imploding right before our eyes. They could very well be 6-5 when they come to Morgantown for the last game of the year. I wouldn't have them ranked at all.

IMO, Baylor's weak early schedule is exposing them. I know this is obvious, but their schedule is a lot like our schedule last year with the heavy hitters all back-loaded. With OU, KSU, TTU and WVU left there is a possibility they may not win another game this year; 2-2 at best.

Looks like the 3 big games to watch this weekend will be WVU @ UT, OSU @ TTU and Baylor @ OU.

The outcome of these games will decide if the de facto Big Xii CG is yet to be played and when and where.

Ex-pat, I always get a kick out of that pic of Broderick Crawford in your sig post.

"Highway Patrol" and "Rat Patrol" may have been the two cheapest TV shows ever made. One used old cop cars in the hills and canyons around LA and the other used twenty year old Mil-Surplus vehicles and equipment out in the Mojave Desert. With studio mechanics to fix both, the cost of actually putting those shows in the can couldn't have been more than 15K per episode not counting paying the talent? Highway Patrol had to get the occasional helicopter from the CHP but I guarantee CHP let them have it free for the publicity. With both of them you could almost always see the camera truck rolling along in the background that got the long distance shots.

Nothin' like the golden age of TV.

I agree there is a bias in the pools, but to be fair Baylor had their asses handed to them. However and to your point, the same criteria was not used with UofL totally destroyed FSU.

It's really not fair and I believe way off but the country just doesn't respect the Big12. Right or wrong most people on this site are in denial and can not accept this even though your post proves it.

I mean WVU and OU are top games but the other two don't mean a thing to anyone in the country besides local or conference interest.
