"Big XII is the most impressive conference so far this year..."

Who cares - the end will show the truth.

"The Big 12 has been the MOST impressive conference this year because of its depth...only 3 losses to non-conference opponents, all of whom were ranked."

Would love to see one of our in house stat whores put together a list of their OOC opponents compared to ours. Yeah, all 3 of those were ranked, but that says nothing about the quality of the opponents they they beat. They could all be Holy Cross and UMASS as far as that statement goes.

Fowler trying too hard yet again
