Remember a few weeks ago when Alabama beat Ole Miss 63-48, and Bama coach Nick Saban had a revelation that offense now is more important than defense in college football?
It’s been proving out in Big 12 football for years -- OU has won five straight conference championships, and only in 2015 did the Sooners have one of the best three defenses in the league and often have had mediocre-to-poor defenses.
And it’s proving out so far in Big 12 2020.
Using my Big 12 efficiency rankings, the best offenses are OU and Iowa State, with a large gulf down to the next-best offenses, OSU and Texas.
