There are currently 5 BIG XII teams (half the conference) ranked above Alabama in rushing offense with TEXAS TECH ranked only two spots below Alabama. Baylor is the #5 rushing team in the country.

Baylor had played 3 homeless guys and a cripple before they played Oklahoma. GTFOH with their raw stats. They don't mean shite.

If you look at the actual advanced stats that account for opponent strength the figures don't look nearly as rosy

Also, shock, the SEC actually has some pretty efficient and effective passing attacks. Just because you throw 55 times and throw for 500 yards on those 55 attempts doesn't necessarily make you good or efficient. And about half the Big XII teams suck at passing.

50% of the Big XII teams are 40th or worse in Passing S&P+
