How did things work out so well for Oklahoma and Baylor? The winner of the Big XII Championship on Saturday by default will have a significantly better win that No. 5 Utah currently does or will have.
If No. 6 Oklahoma wins, they’ll have the case that they twice beat currently No. 7 Baylor while Utah’s best win will have been over No. 13 Oregon.
What does it mean? It means that Oklahoma or Baylor will both have a significantly better win on their resume than Utah will have (that’s assuming Utah beats Oregon this weekend) and with Oklahoma’s loss coming against a Kansas State team that is probably one of the first teams out of the top-25, it’s hardly a knock whatsoever compared to a Utah team whose only loss came against No. 23 USC.
