Weak 5

This might be a lackluster week. Game Day is in East Lansing of all places for a Big 10 game between a barely ranked team and a team that can't play in the postseason. But what's being overlooked?

Two big games in the Big 12!

With all the hoopla ESPN made over Missouri and Texas A&M's first SEC games, no one is caring about West Virginia's first Big 12 game. Sure, it's Baylor, but this is a really interesting matchup.
There might be a hundred points scored! But it's the first time we get to see West Virginia's explosive offense take on one of the Big 12's big time offensive teams.

The Mountaineers are going to win. Baylor is pretty good, but not great. The only way they can win is if their defense somehow steps up. It'll be a fun game to watch, and will shed some light on how well West Virginia fits in their new league.

And speaking of fitting in the Big 12.....who is the team that looks more like an SEC team now? Texas? They are the best team no one is talking about. And they're playing the best defense of any team in the conference. So good, they could be the team that stops West Virginia from rolling over everyone.

But....they play a well coached offensive powerhouse in Oklahoma State this week. The Cowboys have been a little back and forth, absolutely annihilating pee wee squads, then losing to Arizona.
I personally don't think Oklahoma State can match up to Texas' defense. I think the Cowboys might get embarrassed by what seems like an impeccable Longhorn squad. But......this is the Big 12, the conference where #1 Oklahoma can lose to Texas Tech and #2 OK State can lose to Iowa State.
