Who comes out on top this year? Does the Big 12 come out looking like the best league? I feel like struggling OU and WV have a shot to show the depth of our league simply by hanging around. Some solid matchups and some meh matchups. Fun sporting Saturday.

Auburn v West Virginia
Alabama v OU
Iowa St v Mizzou
Tech v LSU
TCU v Miss St
Kansas v UK
Ole Miss v OSU
Florida v KSU
Tennessee v Texas
Baylor v Arkansas
SEC favored: Auburn, Bama (big)

B12 favored: IowaSt, BU, TCU, KSt

Tossups: UT/ut, Tech/LSU, Ole Miss/OkSt, KU/UK in the battle of the ******bag fan bases.


Welp Aurbun ain't showing up. Not acting like a favorite at least. Mountaineers in firm control. Bama wont lose though.

Neers putting a nice first half whooping on a-burn.

WVU played about as well as they possibly can in the first half and Stevenson was unconscious. Hopefully they can hold on, and the B12 can win game one of the challenge.

6-2 KSt v 4-3 Fla

5-3 BU v 3-5 Arky

Should give a slight edge to Big12, especially given that the Big12 is much stronger top to bottom, while the SECSECSEC has 3, maybe 4 really good teams and at least 3 if not more that are steaming piles of poo (albeit, SCar and Vandy aren't participating)

WVU is currently handing Auburn their azzes by 16 at halftime.

Now up 9. Neers took their foot off gas after half.

I'm for all the big 12 teams except for that orange UT team…. 90 miles down the road from Waco.

I'm afraid the neers are gonna blow it.

Unranked WVU a 5 point favorite over #15 Auburn?
No lines for Florida @ K State?
TCU only a 2 point favorite over MSU?
OSU a huge favorite over Ole Miss?

Am I reading these correctly or has Vegas gone bonkers?
I have not watched any SEC games but these seem to be off.


Auburn got drilled at home by Aggy Wednesday. Very similar to TCU's dismantling of KU.


I forgot about the Aggies big win over the Tigers. Mountaineers looked great in the first half, not so much since then.

WVU is better than their record. They are squandering a big halftime lead.

WV misses 4 FTs in the last 40 seconds but holds on to win by 3.

Winner. 1-0, B12

Can we call the carry at least one. This Alabama team carries the ball on every possession. It's ridiculous.

Sooners holding their own.

Okay well looks like OU and WVU both dominate the first half. Can Sooners hang on? 17 up at HT

Oh sure, we all had OU by 17 at the half.

Mizzou over ISU by 10 at the half. At the moment the only game an SEC team leads.

How many more years left in this sec-XII challenge. Sec may put up the white flag early.

Best of both worlds. I had $100 on Auburn at +3.5...win/win

Bama will prolly adjust & I doubt OU can maintain the same level of play. Wouldn't surprise me if it turns into a nailbiter in the 2nd half like WVU & Auburn.

This is the last year (which saddens me).

Definitely worth renewing if the SEC will agree

OU running bama out of the building. Everything falling.

"Sooners on a roll!"

Is this series today going to be all about home court advantage? So far, that seems to be a theme.

I thought there was a slight chance the big 12 could go 10-0 in the challenge today, but I did not expect ISU to struggle with Mizzou. I've been watching OU-Bama, so what's going on in the ISU game?

A 19 point Tiger lead.

I can see the score, but why is ISU struggling so much?
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I too was hoping for 10-0 (more realistically expecting 7-3). Not sure what I'd going on with ISU.

Glad to see Tech is doing well.
