Ha!

Sadly we aren't going to be the team to break his sterling, undefeated 2-0 record.  A decade or so ago when this was scheduled, I was excited about it.  Now... ugh.

I'd say it's pretty much impossible, but I certainly won't be rooting AGAINST the Horns.

What is the percentage chance a team wins the game based on the closing point spread? - Betting Talk

A 15 point dog in college wins about 1/8th of the time, which is perhaps more often than many think.

A 6 point dog wins a third of the time.

ESPN
Predicting every college football Power 5 conference for the 2022 season
Big 12

Oklahoma 10-2, 7-2
Baylor 9-3, 6-3
Oklahoma State 9-3, 6-3
Texas 7-5, 5-4
Kansas State 7-5, 5-4
Iowa State 6-6, 4-5
West Virginia 6-6, 4-5
TCU 7-5, 4-5
Texas Tech 5-7, 3-6
Kansas 3-9, 1-8
Big 12 champion: Oklahoma
Offensive player of the year: Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas
Defensive player of the year: Will McDonald IV, DL, Iowa State
Freshman of the year: Jordan Hudson, WR, TCU
Impact transfer: Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oklahoma (UCF)
Coach of the year: Brent Venables, Oklahoma
Coach on the hot seat: Neal Brown, West Virginia
Coordinator who will be a head coach: Jeff Grimes, offensive coordinator, Baylor
Nonconference game of the year: TCU at SMU, Sept. 24
Conference game of the year: Baylor at Oklahoma, Nov. 5
Upset of the year: TCU over Oklahoma, Oct. 1

Three bold predictions for the Big 12
1. Texas goes bowling: The Longhorns were a big disappointment in coach Steve Sarkisian's first season in 2021, losing six games in a row en route to a 5-7 finish. Texas is still a year or two -- and an Arch Manning-led recruiting class -- from challenging for a conference title. It might be a struggle for Ohio State transfer Quinn Ewers playing behind a suspect offensive line. Texas will finish 7-5 after knocking off Baylor at home in the regular-season finale.
2. JT Daniels will throw 30 touchdowns at West Virginia: Brown called Daniels "the smartest quarterback we've ever had." Daniels' football smarts and talent have never been questioned. The former five-star recruit won the starting job at USC and Georgia but couldn't stay healthy. He's at his third FBS school, and this is a last opportunity to prove he's more than another Tate Martell. Daniels will throw more than 30 touchdowns and have the Mountaineers in the hunt for a bowl game. By season's end, more than a few Georgia fans will still be questioning why coach Kirby Smart chose Stetson Bennett over Daniels.
3. Kansas State's Deuce Vaughn will lead the Big 12 in rushing: Robinson, Texas' star running back, is the best NFL prospect in the league and a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate. The only problem: Texas' offensive line is very young and might not be very good. The Longhorns lost guard Junior Angilau, a fifth-year senior with 34 career starts, to a season-ending knee injury in preseason camp. Vaughn ran for 1,404 yards with 468 receiving yards and 22 total touchdowns in 2021. He might put up even bigger numbers this season.

Imagine how good UGA would have been last year with Daniels starting at QB ...

Zero-week games tomorrow.

Good luck to the Huskers in Dublin. Need to start the season on the right foot.
