    Good point. The major fantasy sites refer to it as "acts of nature"

    Although it looks to be a lovely fall day in Ft. Worth, it appears that the
    TX Longhorns are fixin to get hit with a different type of Cat. 4 storm.
    Its only TCU. And a tired Lucky TCU at that, hearts prolly still pounding having narrowly escaped yet again. Could be worse, much worse in fact: it could be BAYLOR. And an APB on a missing having fled town Coach "Strong", tiremarks from rubber burnt out his reserved parking spot...'Horns can handle this.

      Just a coincidence I'm sure that the Post Time of that ^^^^ was 4:20 pm. Probably had nothing at all to do with the content, the confidence in TX contained therein..

                  Hmmm?

                  Tulsa and Houston 81.5 points!

                  Texas Tech and Baylor 89!

                  Seems as though they would have to score on almost every possession and not take too long to score.

                  And both lines have moved up from their openings.

                      The over/under for the Texas Tech-Baylor game grew to as high as 90.5 points on Wednesday in Las Vegas, the highest college football total since at least 1990, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

                      "It's the highest total ever, to my knowledge, and I've been booking totals forever," said Art Manteris, a 40-year veteran Las Vegas bookmaker and current vice president of Station Casino's sportsbook.

                      Las Vegas sportsbook operator CG Technology opened the Texas Tech-Baylor over/under at 87 points on Monday. On Wednesday evening, it eclipsed 90 at Station's sportsbook, before ticking back down to 89 at the majority of books as of Thursday.

                      That's still greater than the previous high of 88 in the 2012 Oklahoma State-Baylor game. Oklahoma State won 43-31.

                      Bruce Marshall, of longtime gambling publication The GoldSheet, said the Texas Tech-Baylor total was the highest he remembered. ESPN college football insider Phil Steele concurred.

                      "The tempo just started a few years ago," Steele said. "If you would have thrown out a total of 75 in 2010, I would think people would have thought that to be outrageous."

                      Not anymore.

                      According to BetLabsSports.com, there have been 13 games with totals of 80 or greater since 2008, almost all coming in the past four seasons. Baylor or Texas Tech has been involved in eight of those games.

                      Ed Salmons, head football oddsmaker at the Westgate SuperBook, said he wouldn't be surprised to see a total reach 100 in the near future. Even then, it might not be enough. This season, the No. 5 Bears are averaging 64.0 points per game, most in the nation. Texas Tech is No. 3 at 53.8.

                      With Texas Tech quarterback Pat Mahomes considered questionable with an ailing knee, this total could dip back under 88 before Saturday's 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff in Arlington. But it hasn't mattered who has played quarterback in recent Big 12 battles between the Bears and Red Raiders. The past five meetings have all gone over the total, averaging 95.8 points.

                        Great info cw. Thanks.
                        I think Baylor and Phil Bennett have to show some type of push back on Defense to give voters an opportunity
                        to consider them a legitimate final 4 team. Think the outscore your opponent no matter how many they score type
                        of play has been the reason TCU/Baylor stay on the edge, but not in the dance.
