Bu opened-3 and that line should move. Not to mention, 4 of the 6 teams BU has beat are currently 1-6 and they've only played 1 top 50 FPI team (they have played the softest schedule among P5 teams, just sayin'). West Virginia should be ranked well above them and have played the much better schedule thus far.
    Agree. Can't write off OU since Stoops has a habit of winning the B12 but so far the best team in the conference is WVU.

    With BU coming off a bye week and the UT defense being an absolute joke I think BU rolls but we'll see what happens.

      It's clinging to hope for a playoff spot with another undefeated going down. Understandable.

              A&M is not a playoff team. I want to see them end the season as 2nd in the West. That is a tough row to hoe looking forward.

              I think some individual's disdain for BU is the beating that Aggies have taken over the last few years for their nonconference schedule. BU is right there with them and these people want to see BU play a team with a pulse earlier in the season. Nothing more... I think we can all agree their schedule is back loaded.

              Others want to see Charlie stay at the helm at Texas and believe that taking down undefeated BU will help that happen.

              I still believe Charlie can right the ship. He just needs more time. Give the man a fighting chance to field a team of upperclassmen filled with his recruits, then pass judgment.

                It's tough being by far the youngest team in P5 but no way will anyone convince me UT didn't have more talent on the field than Cal and KSU. I've seen enough to cast my vote.

                  Baylor is the highest ranked team in Texas going into Austin as only a 3 point favorite against the horns. Vegas always knows, they always know.

                    What was the Arkansas v AU line?

                      The Bears have won 4 of the last 6 against the longhorns. Looking for the offense to get going quickly. Texas struggled to stop the run Saturday so hopefully the Bears loaded backfield can attack that vulnerability to help open up the passing game.

                        X2. Time for Chollie to go. Going into this season I wanted him to have one more year but I have seen plenty!

                          If you are narrow-minded, then this is how you view it. Most others, that don't respect Baylor, view it as Baylor having no sack to play teams with a pulse. They play patsies every week and continue to see their ranking improve. They've done it for years. Baylor would have 3-4 losses in the SEC West. Texas fans should respect Baylor though. The bears have owned the horns lately. By the way, many Ags couldn't care less about Baylor until they brought the state legislature into the picture to try to prevent the SEC move. That was a ***** move. Nothing more and nothing less. Being rapists supporters doesn't help either. Just trash all around, while trying to project an image of being some nice church school. Pretty hypocritical. /jumps off the soap box

                            I would love to see 8-4 with a bowl game for Texas. Realistically though, I see 4-8 with a hard fought victory over Kansas in a game much closer than it should be. Hook 'em!!

                              You do know the Ags did same thing with the legislature before B12 was formed?

                                Actually, the state legislature was heavily involved prior to the SWC collapsing because other schools brought them in. Don't let details get in the way of your agenda though.
