    I mean that’s great but only a handful of teams in the Big Ten and SEC do as well. Everyone else in those conferences like Minnesota, Iowa, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, etc. don’t have a chance in hell either. So unless you are a fan of one of the big dogs who can actually win it all it’s not a flex just because you happen to be in a conference with the big dogs. You’re just going to get your ass kicked repeatedly but at least you have more money right?

    Comical, over the last 3 years BYU has 6 Pac 12 wins in 7 games. That's more pac 12 wins than Colorado has had over the last 3 years (5). ASU with 10 wins and Arizona with 11 in 27 tries is still well below .500. You could make an argument that BYU has had more success against the Pac 12 over the last 3 years than all the aforementioned teams ranked above them.

    *on my laptop-able to type a lot sorry about the read* Oklahoma State is always slept on. No they haven't won a major game in awhile, but they repeatedly defy expectations, give ranked teams a run for their money, have 9+ win seasons, always in the race for the Big 12 title. Kansas State was neck and neck with Texas for their entire tenure and was the most successful against Oklahoma right with Texas, all the while having virtually zero national attention or near the amount of resources or recruiting Texas had, which I think is a testament to how good the program is and could be if they had said resources. Utah and Kstate are virtually the same schools. Not the most money, Not the best recruiting, wins conference title games or is always in the running, upsets top teams repeatedly, but never goes the distance or comes up just short. TCU I honestly feel bad for. They have probably been the most successful school outside of Oklahoma in the Big 12 in the last decade+, yet no one acknowledges it, being they were screwed out of the playoffs and BCS title games multiple times and thus never got the recognition for their success, even though they obliterated the famed SEC in Ole Miss (who repeatedly gets handled by big 12 teams in bowl games), and then even beat a blue blood in Michigan but because of the National title collapse are still seen as irrelevant. It bothers me how little y'all seem to care about the Big 12 when it is repeatedly the most entertaining. You don't know what's going to happen. SEC and BIG are the most predictable conferences in the country. Its going to be Michigan or Ohio State, and Alabama, LSU, or Georgia. That's it.

    I'm not sure how Oklahoma State as a program could be ranked under KSU. Especially if you zoom out any further than the 3 year window and look at the last 10-15 years. I'm a big fan of KSU and think they have an excellent program but in terms of success over the past decade, OSU clears with ease. And Gundy is as solid as they come as a HC. Never in the top 30 recruiting, but top 10 in wins over the past decade... elite talent development, best in the Big 12 by far.

    @jaminhughes7507 I'm not going to argue much, as I am in make it or break it mode in season 3 of our new HC, but if you listen to Josh Pate, he is going off of HS recruiting. We have to see it play out on the field, but the potential is definitely there. I am not being a homer as after last September, I refuse to get excited until we see it actually happen. Outside of 1 of Tuberville's 3 classes, our past coaches recruited horribly, well, KK was hit or miss, McGuire came in and had 3 commits the night before his introduction presser and finished with a 43rd rated class, according to On3. That is not great, but not bad for a new head coach. Then McGuire followed that up with the 28th and 23rd class, including as near a can't miss All American as you can get in Micah Hudson. Where we haven't seen development is on the O, but replacing the OL coach may help with that. The supposed talent is there, which is what Josh Pate is going off of. Sadly, I think our OC is holding us back, which is a tricky situation as his dad is on the Mt Rushmore of Tech coaches by taking our poor track program & turning it into a NC and perennial Big 12 power. He needs to show much improvement this season and he is running out of excuses.

    Texas Tech in the top tier almost loses this video’s credibility completely. So, 7-6, 8-5, and 7-6 records outperforms the only team in the conference to win a playoff game, ever? Come on, man! TCU embarrassed themselves last year, but tech does that pretty much every year. TCU is in the mix with the other top programs. We shall see on Utah, too. I don’t think they outclass K-State, Ok-State, or TCU.

    I am not trying to oversell Colorado in any way but in my opinion you have them to low. One they have one of the best quarterbacks in the conference. Two they have one of the best skill position groups in the conference. 3 the have elite pass rushers headlined by BJ Green and, Samuel Okunlola. 4 they have an elite secondary including Travis Hunter, Cormani McClain and, Preston Hodge. I know this is a big if but, if Colorado’s offensive line is improved this year they can make some serious noise. The have added the best interior lineman from the portal and, the best offensive tackle from the high school ranks. If they come together and, produce they can have a much better offensive line this year. I am interested to see how CU’s defense looks because they have all the makings of a good defense. I think they will be better than expected

    I agree with the number one spot but everyone else is wrong or in the wrong place. This guy is a clown. 🤡. I mean Texas Tech has not won an outright conference championship in over 70 years. I would go power rankings as follows based on this guy’s criteria and this is subjective to change over the years obviously as who takes advantage of the new system and opportunities and rules and lack thereof: 1. Utah 2. UCF 3. KSt 4. Houston 5. TCU 6. OkSt 7. WVU (top 15 in wins & %) 8. Baylor 9. BYU 10. Texas Tech 11. Arizona 12. Cincinnati 13. Arizona State 14. Iowa State 15. Kansas 16. Colorado
