Big XII: What we learned in Week 1

It was interesting weekend for the Big XII as they went 10-2 with the lone losses from Oklahoma and Colorado St.

Here are some thoughts on the weekend:

Oklahoma: Yes Bradford went down, but he played the entire first half and OU only had 10 points. It looks like the four rookie offensive lineman struggled against the veteran BYU defense and this could pose some big problems for the Sooners in the up-coming weeks.

Oklahoma St: Great win for the Big XII over the SEC as the Cowboys beat the Bulldogs by 2 touchdowns. For me, it legitimizes my 2nd place pick for OSU in the Big XII preview.
Baylor: Had the 2nd most impressive win for the conference as they beat Wake Forest on the road. At one point, Baylor had a 24-7 lead and managed to hold on 24-21 against the ACC school.

Texas, A&M, KU, Nebraska, and Texas Tech: All had lopsided victories against inferior opponents.

Mizzou: Another solid win for the conference as they beat Illinois in their annual rivalry game. Great win for the Tigers as they look to replace Chase Daniel at QB.

The week ahead:
Colorado @ Toledo
Iowa @ Iowa St
Ark. St. @ Nebraska
Houston @ OSU
UT @ Wyoming
Bowling Green @ Missouri
Idaho St @ OU
KSU @ UL-Lafayette
Rice @ Texas Tech
KU @ UTEP

Bye week: Texas A&M and Baylor
