For each of the conference Predictions I will put in both the Predicted Finish according to Win-Shares, as well as my own personal predictions (which are largely very similar).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Big 12\u00a0Win-Shares<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

West Virginia – 8.39 (5.91)<\/p>\n

Oklahoma – 7.82 (5.65)<\/p>\n

Oklahoma St – 8.01 (5.46)<\/p>\n

TCU – 7.72 (5.28)<\/p>\n

Baylor – 8.11 (5.26)<\/p>\n

Texas – 7.17 (5.17)<\/p>\n

Texas Tech – 6.5 (4.33)<\/p>\n

Kansas St – 5.25 (3.4)<\/p>\n

Iowa St – 4.33 (2.48)<\/p>\n

Kansas – 4.14 (2.06)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It looks as if there is going to be a muddle up top with the WVU v OU winner crowned as the Champion. Lot of good teams here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Notice a drop by \u00a0Baylor with the loss of quite a few key players as well as the coach, Same with TCU.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Simplified Football Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OU = 10-2 (7-2)<\/p>\n

WVU = 9-3 (6-3)<\/p>\n

Oklahoma St = 9-3 (6-3)<\/p>\n

TCU = 9-3 (6-3)<\/p>\n

Baylor = 8-4 (5-4)<\/p>\n

Texas = 7-5 (5-4)<\/p>\n

Texas Tech = 7-5 (4-5)<\/p>\n

Kansas St = 6-6 (4-5)<\/p>\n

Iowa St = 3-9 (1-8)<\/p>\n

Kansas = 2-10 (0-9)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here SF has OU topping WVU, that is the only change from the predictions. It’s really a tie between 2-4 (WVU, OSU, and TCU). I got a 10-2 OU taking the last playoff Spot and playing Bama in the Peach Bowl.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That is 8 bowl teams for the\u00a0Big 12<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Peach Bowl – Oklahoma (Playoff)<\/p>\n

Sugar Bowl – West Virginia<\/p>\n

Alamo Bowl – Ok State<\/p>\n

Russell Athletic – TCU<\/p>\n

Texas Bowl – Texas (against TAMU)<\/p>\n

Liberty Bowl – Baylor<\/p>\n

Cactus Bowl – Texas Tech<\/p>\n

Armed Forces – Kansas St<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
