The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

The top 75 of 2015

A tip of the hat to Berry Tramel for this idea in the middle of June. He’s boldly ranked all 75 games involving a Big 12 team in the 2015 season, something he’s done longer than WVU has been in the Big 12, but something I only noticed that first season. Oklahoma at WVU took the top spot that season. The Mountaineers — and this is where we point out Tramel only pointed out last season he was a fan of the Mountain State — took five of the top 10 spots. (WVU wasn’t quite as anticipated a year later with two of the five worst games.)

Anyhow, from Baylor at TCU all the way to South Dakota at Kansas State, it covers every game involving one of the conference’s 10 teams. WVU isn’t in the top 10, but non-conference games make the top 15 and the bottom 10. As far as predictions go, there’s this about the final weekend of the season, which is when the Big 12 has been adept at scheduling eyeballs:

17. West Virginia at Kansas State, Dec. 5: The Big 12 must think this is a big game. It’s one of only two Big 12 games on the final weekend.
