BIG 12 SQUAD - The Big 12 is still being DISRESPECTED | How the FPI Ranks Oklahoma State

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Big 12 powers face a playoff ranking crisis as ESPN’s FPI continues to favor SEC teams, sparking heated debate among fans and analysts. Despite BYU’s statement win over Notre Dame, the Cougars remain frozen in the rankings, while Texas, LSU, and Oregon all jump ahead of Big 12 contenders. Is the Big 12’s momentum in the AP poll enough to overcome the College Football Playoff Committee’s reliance on opaque analytics?

The Big 12 Squad breaks down the pivotal Houston vs. Oklahoma State clash, Utah’s bowl-eligible struggles, and whether Conner Weigman has emerged as the conference's next elite quarterback. Hot takes fly on brand bias, scheduling strategies, and the enduring importance of a Big 12 championship. With teams like Arizona and Houston peaking, who really deserves a shot at the playoff—and can the system be trusted?

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 17:00:00 GMT

After Oklahoma State's loss Utah Utes eye a statement win as they target the Houston Cougars’ vulnerable secondary.

REACTION: BYU is No. 1 After Notre Dame Win, Texas Tech Rolls, Houston is Elite, Oklahoma State?

Locked On Podcast Network — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT

That 28-24 instant classic in Provo wasn’t just a victory—it was a total demolition of coastal entitlement.

When No. 8 BYU took down No. 2 Notre Dame on Saturday night, the national suit-and-ties got a four-quarter tutorial in raw Big 12 trench warfare. Corporate media spent all week gushing over Notre Dame’s golden helmet prestige and soft brand bias, completely ignoring the fact that they were walking straight into a high-altitude house of horrors at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

Kalani Sitake’s squad didn't win this game with finesse or flash; they won it in the mud. Bear Bachmeier put on a blue-collar clinic, accounting for four total touchdowns, including that ice-cold six-yard strike to Walker Lyons with under two minutes left to retake the lead. Then, when the Irish tried to mount a final drive, the Cougars' defense flexed their physical muscles, making a heroic goal-line stand as CJ Carr’s final pass hit the turf in the end zone to seal Notre Dame's fate.

This wasn't just a signature win for an unblemished 6-0 BYU team; it was a loud, aggressive referendum for the entire Big 12. It proved that authentic, hard-nosed developmental depth on the Wasatch Front will out-hit, out-execute, and out-grind pre-packaged blue-blood hype every day of the week. The playoff selection committee can't hide behind regional favoritism anymore. BYU dragged Notre Dame into the deep water, drowned their hype, and proved the balance of power in college football runs right through Provo.

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 03:15:00 GMT

Oklahoma State has all the pieces to take away a win from this impressive Houston Cougars ball club. In order to pull off the W in an H-Town takeover we must slow down these Houston players to get it done.

BIG 12 SQUAD - Cracks are FORMING at the top of the Big 12 | Where Oklahoma State stands

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Are BYU, Oklahoma State, and Utah hiding cracks beneath their winning records? As Big 12 contenders escape with shaky victories, questions swirl about foundational weaknesses and whether these programs are true playoff threats or potential frauds. The Big 12 Squad unpacks narrow escapes, fourth-down blunders, and the surprising rise of teams like Houston—blowing past opponents while others barely hang on.

Sharp insight highlights defensive lapses, quarterback performances from Drew Mestemaker and Noah Fifita, and hot takes on the College Football Playoff Committee's eye test versus scoreboard watching. Key debates center on West Virginia’s historic defensive struggles, Utah’s lack of pass rush, and whether the Big 12 can land multiple teams in the playoff. With conference showdowns looming, can any top contender claim elite status, or are upsets just around the corner?

Squad Source Claims BYU, Oklahoma State AND Utah Are... FRAUDULENT?!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Anyone throwing around the word "fraudulent" when talking about BYU, Utah, or Oklahoma State right now is either completely blind to reality or carrying water for lazy coastal narratives.

Look at what’s actually happening on the turf. BYU isn't sitting at the top of the mountain by accident; they are methodically bludgeoning opponents through old-school trench warfare, backed by an elite play-calling mastermind and a roster built for a heavyweight fight every single week. Up in Salt Lake City, Morgan Scalley has stepped into the head chair and kept the machine humming at a suffocating, 5-0 level, turning Rice-Eccles Stadium into an absolute house of horrors where physical spirits get broken. And Oklahoma State continues to punch above their weight, answering every early-season doubt by imposing their will and grinding out high-stakes victories inside a conference that doesn't offer a single week off.

To call any of these powerhouses "fraudulent" is to ignore the brutal, beautiful reality of the Big 12 meat grinder. These programs don't rely on soft preseason hype metrics or pre-packaged brand bias handed down from regional monopolies. They earn every single inch in the trenches, playing authentic, hard-nosed football that exposes the pretenders in other conferences. While the national pundits love to toss around cheap labels to protect their favorite status-quo brands, these squads keep stacking dominant performances and proving that the absolute heartbeat of elite college football runs right through the heartland.

OVERREACTION: Can Rodney Fields BACK Rumors Save Our RB2 Situation Midseason OR Am I Just WRONG?

Oklahoma State fans had a brief moment of excitement when a very well written article was floating around throughout the weekend regarding Rodney Fields Jr. leaving Kansas State mid-season to come be our RB2 savior. Is it saddening if he can't come back ASAP or am I just being too overly critical of Ayo being a decent RB2 option? Drew Mestemaker with Ollie Gordon in Miami is a dream scenario as an Oklahoma State Cowboy fan! Is Cowboy hoops in trouble after giving up 99 points to New Mexico?

NFL LEVEL: Oklahoma State's Drew Mestemaker vs Houston's Conner Weigman Is THE Top Big 12 QB Battle!

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Oklahoma State's star QB is absolutely, easily an NFL draft pick & Houston's star QB Conner Weigman isn't too far behind him! Both are around 6'4 215, both have the athletic ability to make you respect their legs, both play in systems that require a lot of checks & audibles which NFL scouts love, both can change plays on the fly without getting permission & both are coached by some of the best in the business. Could this be the game that this defense plays all 4 quarters of championship level football? GIVE THAT MAN MIKE GUNDY HIS STATUE already!

LEGACY: Oklahoma State vs Houston Will Bring Out The TOP H-Town Recruits Like Caleb "C5" White IF We can Capitalize!

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Oklahoma State's top 20 showdown with Houston in H-Town is a MASSIVE opportunity to show the new direction of this Eric Morris era Oklahoma State recruiting crew. The Houston area is full of star players like Caleb "C5" White who turned down schools like Utah & Duke for the best opportunity available. This game could be a big statement to these Houston area talents. Summer Creek has handled some adversity that should open more doors for a State title push.
