Big 12 Football Week 10 Preview

You’re getting this weekly column a day early since Big 12 action for the week starts tonight, as Baylor (7-0, 4-0) hosts West Virginia (3-4, 1-3) in a spooky, Halloween night matchup. Realistically, this game shouldn’t actually be all that spooky. On paper, Baylor is a much better team than the Mountaineers. According to SP+, WVU is statistically the 78th ranked team in the country while Baylor comes in at 17. Baylor’s offense is 8 points better and Baylor’s defense is a whopping 13 points better. That’s all great, but statistics sometimes don’t mean much on a weekly basis when you’re dealing with college athletes.
