OU Football falters in win, while Iowa State, Baylor & Oklahoma State in position for Big 12 title

OU Football falters in win, while Iowa State, Baylor & Oklahoma State in position for Big 12 title. Ari Temkin of Orangebloods.com and SiriusXM's Big 12 Radio (Ch. 375) breaks down Week 8 of the Big 12 schedule, including the true contenders and pretenders. We start with the hilarity of Oklahoma Sooners nearly losing to one of the worst teams in FBS Football and the clear worst team in the Big 12, Kansas Jayhawks. OU was down 10-0 at half and survived late 35-23 against Kansas. One thing is clear in Oklahoma's near lose to Kansas, OU is not the best team in the Big 12. Oklahoma's defense has been very bad this year and that was supposed to be the major difference in 2021 with the OU Sooners. Oklahoma is currently 114th in opponents yards per pass attempt with 8.9. Oklahoma's defense is giving up nearly 9 yards per their opponent's pass attempt. In their last three games, Oklahoma is giving up 11.3 yards to their opponents per pass attempt. Their last three opponents are Texas football, TCU and Kansas, with TCU Horned Frogs and Kansas Jayhawks being two of the worst teams in the Big 12. Oklahoma is also 104th in opponents yards per play at 6.1 and in their last three games OU's defense is giving up 34 ppg. If Oklahoma is not going to win the Big 12, then who are the other contenders? Texas can still win the Big 12, though it seems unlikely...they would need to win out and then hope for help, but most likely they will not win a conference championship in 2021. Texas plays one of them on Saturday, the Baylor Bears, who are 6-1 and 3-1 in Big 12 play. They are one of the country's top rushing offenses and top defenses. Like Texas they can run the football, but Baylor, unlike Texas can stop the run pretty effectively. The Iowa State Cyclones, Baylor Bears and Oklahoma State Cowboys are all 1.5 games behind Oklahoma in the Big 12 race.
