BIG 12 SCHEDULE MATRIX
Made some minor updates to simplify the tiers/verbiage. The league is starting to flex its depth, with 12 teams now owning 2+ road wins. The top-5 are in their own tier, but Houston/Tech/KU/Arizona have the top-4 toughest remaining schedules, too. It should be a fun finish.

Several days late, but here is the current Big 12 Schedule Matrix heading into the weekend. Biggest takeaway for me is that the top teams still have their toughest games to play this season, but ISU has it pretty easy outside @KU and @Houston. Should be a fun finish.

Imagining Donovan McNabb on the sidelines of Jack Trice Stadium in 2029 watching the Cyclones’ path to the CFP and complaining to Jamie Pollard about allowing beer sales.

RIP this UCF defender who tripped and was 100% praying the 3-pointer wouldn’t go in because the arena pop was going to be demoralizing 😭 #BlueCy

I got a free fernet shot at a bar in Asheville once and it might as well have been Malort. Good on you, but I’m enjoying the last half of football tonight

Okay, at the risk of sounding like a fucking sparkling water lunatic, you could invest in a SodaStream. We love ours and there are quite a few "mocktail" mixers that are legitimately great (I personally love the white peach/ginger and pineapple/jalapeno). Make it a gift to your wife 😉

The most devastating first world problem I’m facing right now is Cooper’s Craft 100 no longer being distributed in Iowa. Bought the last two bottles I could find in town but my favorite $30 bottle is soon going to be just a memory 💔

The Iowa distillery/whiskey scene is still so young that there are very few doing legitimately great things, but Cedar Ridge’s single malt series is the best there is, IMO. I don’t have enough money to keep up with these special releases 😩

Been posting more extensive Big 12 schedule matrices over on the other site this season, but with two weeks to go, this one is the one that matters — here are each team's records, standings, and remaining games. Tons of potential movement. #BlueCy will be the Kansas Jayhawks' biggest fans this week.

Since the official Cyclone accounts aren't over here yet, thought I'd share the game-day timeline tomorrow if you haven't seen it yet.

I was not in the mood to make the joke at the time but did we consider Tech’s Joey McGuire might have actually been a stunt double on that rally stage in Pennsylvania?
