As I will undoubtedly show in the coming weeks, the Big 12 South is the best division in college football.

The PAC 10 needs a U Dub (Washington) resurgence in the worst way, or they will just be USC and a bunch of pass happy teams. The Big East is also underrated, as I think very highly of WVA and Louisville, and teams like Rutgers and South Florida are on the come. In the coming weeks I'll take you inside the Big 12 South, a division with 2 national title contenders in OU and UT, and 3 legitimate top 25 teams (TTech, UTA&M and OSU) and for my money the most competitive last place team in the nation in Baylor, whom I consider a bowl hopeful in '07.Tuesday, June 26, 2007

Already, El P, already. Of course, with your Mets being a REAL baseball team you have something sports wise to keep your interest, whereas I have to go to the football card.
Baylor got to the top 10 once. Tied Michigan 10-10 once. Got handled by Penn State in the Bear's first Cotton Bowl in 1974. Got drilled by Bama in their other Cotton Bowl back when Cotton Bowls and the SWC meant something. Put a bunch of players in the pros including Singletary, all these things in the Grant Teaff era, but that's about it. The SWC was and Big 12 South is tough.
