Do you love gridlock? Do you like kissing your sister? Do you like songs by Stealers Wheel?
Well, you’re gonna love the hell out of how the Big 12 standings are going to finish this year.
It’s not Good. It’s not Bad. It might be a little Ugly.
I give you all the great tasting 2025 prognostication without any of the filling.
Chug-a-lug buttercups.

If you’d like to continue a deep, dark descent into the BuffsBlog Blogosphere, may we interest you in this post?
I’d take 9-3 and a berth (and win) in the Holiday Bowl. I just don’t see the Buffs bring that good.
I think we’re probably at 7 or 8 wins, which is above Vegas’ 5.5 wins but below the Commander’s 9 wins. I’m a centrist.
