Big 12 Update: Conference Favorites Emerging

Originally published at: https://pistolsfiringblog.com/big-12-update-conference-favorites-emerging/

A lot has been learned after Week 7.

Right now BYU and Iowa State look like the most complete teams but the rest in the top half are not far behind.

I don’t think anyone could have predicted the 3 teams that are undefeated in conference play would have been there. I sure did not see it.
With how parity plays out, it will be interesting to see if these 3 teams can finish within the top 3 in the conference.
Not only did I think we would be there. But Kansas was supposed to be much better as well. And they have laid an egg with the pokes.

How is it possible that BYU is only a 7 point favorite on Saturday?!? I assumed it would be easily double digits.

Well….so much for being the conference favorites when OU and Texas leave :+1:.

It’s because Vegas thinks Gundy is going to magically turn this team around. This team has given up on him this season. It’s a lot different from last season. You can see it in the field and the sidelines. To be honest, I don’t blame them a single bit.

I think it has do with the game being on Friday. BYU has a short week while OSU is coming off a bye. I’d still put $$$$ on the Cougs.
