Big XII: Mo's 2014 Predictions

For the 2nd straight year, my model predicts a straight line down the Big 12 Standings.  OU goes 9-0, Iowa State 0-9, with someone occupying every spot in between.  The Big 12 is rated as the 3rd best conference, with #3-8 in the conference really only separated by home field advantage.

Oklahoma 7
Texas 10
Baylor 32
TCU 45
Kansas St 46
OK State 54
Texas Tech 65
West Virginia 67
Iowa St 80
Kansas 89

Oklahoma 9-0
Texas 8-1
Baylor 7-2
TCU 6-3
Kansas State 5-4
OK State 4-5
Texas Tech 3-6
WVU 2-7
Kansas 1-8
Iowa State 0-9

I don't really like the symmetry of this, especially with so many close games being predicted.  Every team seems to play at home against the team just worse than them and on the road against the team just better than them, which is what causes the symmetry.  Iowa State is predicted to have 3 losses by less than 3 points and another one less than a TD.  I'd be shocked to see them 0-9, especially with Kansas and West Virginia...
