Continuing with the analysis using the Mathletics formulas.
The predicted winning percentage (adjusted for football from baseball) is runs scored / runs scored + runs allowed. The current numbers for the Big XII:
| PW% | |||
| Team | All | Conference | Non-Conference |
| Baylor | .9645 | .9136 | .9947 |
| Iowa State | .2156 | .1228 | .5229 |
| Kansas | .1852 | .0906 | .6221 |
| Kansas State | .7104 | .6421 | .8068 |
| Oklahoma | .7670 | .5941 | .9272 |
| Oklahoma State | .8197 | .7056 | .9449 |
| Texas | .7053 | .7992 | .5556 |
| TCU | .4972 | .2969 | .7505 |
| Texas Tech | .7509 | .6153 | .9377 |
| West Virginia | .3631 | .3062 | .5376 |
As this was calculated using the NFL adjustment, it may or may not be accurate.
This PW% is starting to reach accurate range, predicted conference finishing order using conference PW%: Baylor, Texas, O-State, K-State, Texas Tech, OU, WVU, TCU, I-State and KU. K-State, Texas Tech and OU are fairly close together in the numbers, so we might have good games (please see your doctor before viewing).
In the NFL, passing yards / attempts and defensive passing yards /attempt explain about 70% of a team's performance, while rushing yards / attempt and defensive rushing yards / attempt explain another 6%. Below is how each Big XII team is doing in these two areas:
| All games | Conf games | ||||||||
| Team | PY/A | DPY/A | RY/A | DRY/A | PY/A | DPY/A | RY/A | DRY/A | |
| Baylor | 13.26 | 5.85 | 6.24 | 3.04 | 12.11 | 5.54 | 5.99 | 3.66 | |
| Iowa State | 5.85 | 7.15 | 3.38 | 5.13 | 5.28 | 7.39 | 3.25 | 5.54 | |
| Kansas | 5.63 | 6.78 | 3.42 | 4.93 | 5.45 | 7.95 | 2.95 | 4.99 | |
| K-State | 9.23 | 6.54 | 4.59 | 3.97 | 9.07 | 6.91 | 4.45 | 3.76 | |

Using the conference predicted winning percentages (which is almost accurate) rankings, I-State and WVU have the easiest schedules remaining, with K-State having the 3rd easiest schedule and KU in 4th. Texas, OU, O-State and Baylor are the next four, trailed by TCU and the hardest schedule remaining is Texas Tech.
