Big 12 First Game Stuff...

I have three things on my mind:

Big12 Qb performance for game one...I focused on the starter, some teams added qb's or switched during the game.
Big 12 Team Rushing performance, game one.
Big 12 First game opponents.

Big 12 Quarterback performance

I used the NCAA Ranking formula it is one way of trying an objective view...as if objective matters.

The formula is fun...if you complete your first pass for one yard, you are at rank =108+;

if the pass is intercepted for a one yard opponent td, you are at rank =238+;

if the pass is completed for your guy for a one yard td, rank =438+.

Our guy did not rank badly. Overall ranking is decent at 146, places him in the upper third/at the top of the 2nd quartile. Yards/attemp is average, Yards/completion is average, Completion % is average. Like a number of his peers, no INT's. Led with TD's, and with total yards....kind of Air Raidish, huh ?

Big 12 Team Rushing Performance

Big12 2010	Yds Rush	Yds Pass
KSU	313	64
OSU	291	253
UN	289	247
OU	205	217
BU	200	263
UT	197	172
TAMU	192	347
ISU	138	265
UC	115	192
UM	98	281
KU	96	197
TTU	72	359

I saw two things from this, 1st the big rusher did not fare so well vs win...2nd it looks like the numbers are way up over all for the stronger teams in the conference...perhaps an indicator of things to come ?

Right ! Big deal ! I don't have an analysis, I am presenting this for your thoughts and comments.

Probing question number one: how do you rank them ? Number two: what does the level of competiton say about the qb's perfromances, if anything. Do the ranking before you comment on the qb's....

Hey, there is room for all thoughts, what does this competition say about any of the Big 12 teams?
