I don't really think they're garbage, I just think the conference as a whole gets a bit overrated cause there aren't many teams at all that play defense and everybody loves a track meet. OU and Texas aren't bad defensively.

Oklahoma State is awful defensively unless they've made some big improvements over last year. They've just got to outscore people and they probably will do that to most people but you can't (and I literally mean can't, there's no gray area IMO) win the National Championship with a defense like they had last year. They'll probably win 10 or 11 games anyway cause their offense is so good.
