In this week's Big 12 roundtable, we delve into scheduling:
Who has the toughest conference game?
Brandon Chatmon: Oklahoma's trip to TCU stands out as particularly difficult. True enough, the Sooners get a bye before opening conference play at TCU on Oct. 1 but will be coming off their much-hyped battle with Ohio State and will have Texas looming the following weekend. Facing Gary Patterson's defense sandwiched between those other tough games could be a real problem for Baker Mayfield and the Sooners.
Max Olson: The toughest conference games are usually in late November when the weather is worse and key players are injured and you just have to find a way to survive.
