The teams in the Big 12 not named West Virginia didn’t schedule quality opponents in week one, so the football action for the Big 12 other than the momentous renewal of the Backyard Brawl wasn’t very competitive.
That is not the case for week two.
Lots of good football games will be played this week and we will get out first all-Big 12 action of the year with the Kansas Jayhawks going to Morgantown to play West Virginia.
Below are the top five Big 12 matchups of the week. Sadly, the Sooners epic matchup against national powerhouse Kent State did not make the cut.
OU really needs to stop scheduling multiple Group of Five opponents. All of these games are fun, and the Sooners are playing Kent State. Keep an eye on the Big 12. There are a lot of matchups here that could affect the Sooners in the future if they end up making a run to the playoff.
