I’ve mentioned here before that I do a real dorky/nerdy thing where I compile all the rankings, wins, championships, heisman, all Americans, nfl draft picks, recruiting rankings and transfer portal rankings of the last 5 years and determine the best program of the last 5 years. Every team is in the workbook. The big xii ranks third in average team rating behind unsurprisingly the SEC and Big Ten. Here are the ratings as of now before preseason rankings and stuff comes out and before any 2025 games have been played. I think it’s interesting but also has some holes that need filled
#17 Cincinnati- probably riding on dominance of the American still
#22 TCU- runner up in the last 5 years
#25 Iowa state- surprised
#26 byu-p- COVID flung them up as well as last year
#27 Oklahoma state- surprised at how bad things are with gundy, won’t be down for long
#30 k-state- just a solid team every year
#31 Utah- last year and the year before were just that bad where we are down this far
#40 Baylor- how short of a leash does aranda have this year with the qb he has?
#45 Colorado- Travis hunter really helped this programs ranking
#48 Houston- playing in the American helped
#49 Arizona state- are they buy or sell for the next 5 years?
#53 Texas tech- money bags will help them I believe
#58- west Virginia
#59 ucf
#65 Arizona
#83 Kansas
