Big 12 losers so far are #12 Iowa State, tied for 1st in Big 12, #11 TCU, tied for 4th in Big 12, and #10 Texas, also tied for 1st in the Big 12, in the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
Big 12 is 5-3 so far with West Virginia, Texas Tech and Oklahoma, all in the Bottom Four of the Big 12, knocking off #15 Auburn, #2 Alabama and LSU and #17 Baylor barely surviving against Arkansas, 10th in the SEC standings, while #5 Kansas State had little trouble with Florida, 64-0, which is tied for 5th in the SEC.
Underdogs, based on national rankings and conference standings, are 5-3. Home teams are an incredible 7-1. Make of that what you will.
SATURDAY BIG 12/SEC CHALLENGE
Noon, #15 Auburn at West Virginia, ESPN WVU, 80-77, almost blowing game despite a double-digit lead. 8th place Big 12 teams beats #15 SEC team that’s 4th in SEC standings.
2 pm, #2 Alabama at Oklahoma, ESPN Oklahoma, 93-69. 8th place Big 12 teams beats #2 nationally ranked team that’s undefeated in conference games and alone atop the SEC standings.
2 pm, #12 Iowa State at Missouri, ESPN2 Missouri, 78-61. What I consider best team in Big 12 even though it isn’t ranked higher than others lost to 7th place SEC team. Biggest disappointment for Big 12 so far.
2 pm, Texas Tech, winless in Big 12, at LSU, ESPNU Texas Tech, 76-68. Worst team in Big 12 beats LSU, tied for last but with 1 W in the SEC.
4 pm, #11 TCU at Miss. State, ESPN2 Mississippi State, 81-74. Miss. State is LAST at 1-7 in SEC standings. TCU is tied for 4th, 1 W and 1 L behind 3 teams tied for 1st.
4 pm, Arkansas at #17 Baylor, ESPN Baylor, 67-64. Arkansas is 10th in SEC standings, Baylor tied for 4th, 1 W and 1 L behind 3 teams tied for 1st.
6 pm, #10 Texas at #4 Tennessee, ESPN
Tennessee, 82-71. Vols 2nd at 7-1 in SEC, Longhorns tied for 1st at 6-2 in Big 12 but, in my opinion, are not better than #17 Baylor, #11 TCU, #12 Iowa State.
6 pm, Florida at #5 Kansas State, ESPN2
Kansas State, 64-50. K State tied for 1st 6-2 in Big 12, Florida tied for 5th at 5-3 in the SEC.
