Checking in on the Big 12...Fantasy Style

by Warden11 on Oct 16, 2010 9:35 PM CDT

As I was watching some games today I realized that there has been a lot of talk about the Big 12 as a whole but I haven't seen a lot on the individual players this year. Outside of quarterbacks, I'm not sure I've seen anything about other players in the conference. A lot of that is probably a selection bias about the things I read and follow or does anyone else feel the same? Either way, I was bored and had some time to kill this afternoon, So I went to cfbstats.com and took individual stats for the quarterbacks, wide receivers, running backs, kickers, and team defenses so I could run their numbers as a fantasy league would. I don't know if there is any real value to doing this other than seeing what teams are scoring and how they're doing it but I figured I'd share the results.

Note: Numbers do not include any games played this week.

Quarterbacks

Scoring: mainly used the set up from the RCT Fantasy League. Quarterbacks received 4 points per touchdown, one point per 20 passing yards, and -2 for interceptions. Skipped the other stuff because I wasn't going through all the game logs.

Kickers

Scoring: 1 point for extra points and 3 for each field goal. Oklahoma's kickers didn't qualify to have their stats reported at cfbstats.com.

		XP	Field Goals	Fantasy Points
Dan Bailey	Okla St	32	11	65
Aaron Jones	Baylor	24	11	57

Josh Cherry	Kansas St	10	5	25
Jacob Branstetter	Kansas	12	2	18
Aric Goodman	Colorado	10	0	10

Defense

Scoring: 2 pts per forced fumble, interception, and sack. As you can see, Kansas doesn't do any of those things on defense.

	Sacks	Interceptions	Forced Fumbles	Pts Allowed/Game	Fantasy Points
Oklahoma	14	7	9	22.8	60
Missouri	13	9	6	11.2	56
Nebraska	11	11	5	12.8	54
Texas	17	3	7	20	54
Oklahoma State	13	8	6	29.2	54
Texas Tech	15	8	4	31.6	54
Texas A&M	8	7	8	21	46
Iowa State	6	9	7	29.7	44
Baylor	12	6	3	19.8	42
Colorado	10	6	3	24.2	38
Kansas State	8	4	5	25.4	34
Kansas	3	2	3	26.6	16

Outside of Kansas being towards the bottom of these categories, any thoughts to the numbers? Only thing I can come up with is wondering how many people saw Patterson as the leading receiver on this team halfway through the season?

Patterson

Leading the team doesn’t surprise me nearly as much as McDougald being a distant third. With his athletic ability (and the fact that he was a 4-star we swiped from Ohio State), I thought he’d be making a lot more plays.

The other thing that jumps out to me is Oklahoma State. Everyone was picking that team last in the South this year. Not only is their offense prolific, their defense is apparently 4th in the conference in fantasy terms. Did anyone see them sitting at 6-0 and ranked in the Top 20?
