There’s chatter among the high-falutin’ scribes in the media that this past weekend was the lamest weekend of college football in recent memory.
We had some close calls — UNC made the correct call to go for two against Clemson and the wrong call to not convert that two-point conversion, Arkansas nearly beat Texas A&M in JerryWorld, etc. But nationally there weren’t many upsets, and most of the ranked teams cruised to wins.
That wasn’t necessarily the case in the Big 12. It’s not going to earn any headlines (except for the one on the top of this page), but this past weekend in the Big 12 was suitably weird for the average college football fan who enjoys the kind of abstract football this conference likes to use.
