Big 12 Game of the Year

No question Bill Snyder can coach but as is so often the case he winds up playing the tough part of the schedule at the end of the year. In three road games, Kansas State beat a bad Iowa State tea by seven, edged Oklahoma by one, and got humiliated at TCU. Yes coming off a bye week but now they face another tough road game.

WVU has played a much tougher schedule with four true road games and a not-so-neutral game in the Deep South to Alabama. After playing their own brutal stretch of at Texas Tech, Baylor, at Oklahoma, and TCU the Mountaineers got their bye at the idea time.

Against a better schedule, WVU it outgaining their foes by 117 yards per game compared to just 76 for Kansas State. They key metrics say despite the straight up marks, WVU is the slightly better team, yet laying less than the home field advantage.
