The second and third weeks of the 2018 seasons have been mostly good to the Big 12, with a couple of big wins, a couple of disappointing losses to Power 5 opponents, and, well, let’s just address the elephant in the room, shall we?
The single most momentous thing to happen in the Big 12 happened last Saturday. Kansas finally won a road game. In beating Central Michigan 28-7, the Jayhawks put to rest a 46-game road losing streak, a patch of futility going all the way back to September 12, 2009.
If that wasn’t enough, Kansas then followed up this rare win over an FBS team with a second-straight win over an FBS team, also for the first time since 2009.
