    Orlando Sentinel's "5 Big XII games to watch in 2015"

    Seems odd that the Orlando Sentinel would have a list of Big XII 'must see' games, but they do. (Here's the link if you're interested)

    Here's their top 5 games for 2015:


    1. Oklahoma vs. Texas
    2. Oklahoma @ Baylor
    3. TCU @ Oklahoma
    4. Baylor @ TCU
    5. Texas @ Baylor


    Can't really argue with that list, but I would add OU @ OSU, even though I'm wearing crimson glasses, that game has been one of the best games in the conference recently, and could determine, or at least have an impact on the conference champion.

    I'll watch all of the OU games I can, but I question whether any Big XII games are "must see."

    The answer is "no". However, I suffer from college football addiction, so I'll watch just about anything.

    I thought that was an ordered list of importance, so I laughed at first. Then I saw it was by earliest date. Even then, with OU coming off 8-5 and the horns 6-7, the writer is either going on tradition or blind faith.

    Other than Baylor vs. TCU, I can't see any non-OU matchups that are better.

    Then the list should be shorter.

    It's on the list on reputation alone. Like you said, OU is coming off of one of the worst years in a long time and Texas is just not very good right now. It's still one of the best rivalry games in the country, so that's why it's on the list.

    Baylor/TCU has (sadly) become the most important game in the conference recently. I hope that changes soon.

    Extrapolating from last season suggests Baylor @ TCU would be the only game on the list. Fortunately, going by previous seasons is often very inaccurate. Also, last seasons OU @ TCU game was at least entertaining in a Shakespearean tragedy sortof way.

    It was a damned good game as far as excitement at the end, if you weren't a Sooner fan of course.
    I still can't believe that our offense was so freakln' inept due to Heupel/Norvell/predictability/Co-OCs or whatever, that we couldn't move the ball a lick at the end, much less score. Then the Texass game was just more of the inexplicable same on offense and except for some special team's Sooner Magic in Dallas, I'm not sure HCBS would have survived this year. A brain-fart loss to Stool State along with a Whorn L in the same year hasn't been some of the previous OU head coach's best friend.
    As much as our D was just a complete joke later in the year, our offense (except for Perine) didn't exactly do much to help them out either.

    This will be a down year for us. 8-win season.

    We'll have one loss by Texas and two losses after Texas, kind of making the other 2 games on that list meaningless.
