Big 12 thread
- Thread starter Thiefery
- Start date
Let's look at the possibilities.
Baylor - NO
BYU - NO
UCF - NO
Cincy - NO
Houston - NO
Iowa State - NO
Kansas - NO
K-State - NO
Okie Lite - NO
TCU - NO
Texas Tech - NO
West Virginia - NO
Looks like the answer is none. Being all pretty even could make for a very interesting conference race to the CCG. That'll be good and hold more interest further into the season. But such will hurt their chances of a CFP berth.
If any team even starts to look like they are beginning to dominate, the SEC or B1G will swoop in and buy their coach and that'll be the end of that.
Big 12 football will look like Big 12 hoops has the past couple of years. Three different Big 12 teams in the last three Final Fours.

looks like UT is going to continue to play Tech annually after they leave the Big12
The Longhorn faithful love to go to Lubbock and partake of that sweet aroma those South winds bring from the feedlots.
Drive through the rolling hills of NE Arkansas some fine morning and the ammonia from the chicken farms coalesces with the morning fog. Staining your windshield and making you gag.
Yeah, been there and done that. We decided to take the winding, back woods road from Fayetteville to Branson after a steaming rain one summer. If it gets even worse the further East you go, then I'll pass.

I dont understand the belief that there will or should be a dominant team. i think things are better when there is some variety.
I agree with you. But many think dynasties are what make sports great. Yankees, Celtics, Packers, etc from back in the day. Wooden's UCLA teams, Saban's Bama teams, the Oklahoma win streak in CFB.
But when you decide a champion through an invitational instead of a playoff, conference parity hurts your chances of getting an "invite". Gotta have a dominant team that runs the table...or comes damn close. And that is what makes CFB special....or at least that is what the traditional/status quo group believe.

im fine with a dominant team that runs the table its the belief that it needs to either be the same team over and over or that it needs to be a name team like Notre Dame, Texas, USC, Michigan, Florida State in order for the sport to be good or the achievement to be valid

So will the Big12 fuck with Texas and Oklahoma when the other teams come in next year and put them in separate divisions? Force them to schedule an each other as an ooc if they want to play it.
Will Ou and Texas leave after this coming year and not have to worry about it?
Just keep it North and South?
North
WVU
BYU
Kansas
Kansas St
ISU
Cincinnati
South
Houston
Baylor
Tcu
T tech
Okie St
UCF

I'm still thinking this will be the last season for both UT and ou in the Big12, and honestly, who cares if they go to divisions or not?
People may seem to act like they are excited or intrigued in some way but when the season is in full swing, people aren't going to be tuning in like that.

That is actually pretty cool. Looks like Texas Tech is above the drama. Kudos to them. I don't understand why Texas-Texas A&M or Kansas-Missouri couldn't happen after 2012.

It's likely in their financial interest for the game to continue. Personally I feel the same way about Bedlam. If we are stuck in a neutered B12 for a while a home and home that gets 5 million views benefits us. If the Pac 12 decides to expand and we can tell tell them to fuck off I'm happy as well
My only hope is Bedlam continues in wrestling. They started ducking us unless it's a conference match. I'd love to see us push their shit in there but the pussies will duck out in 2024

Dude you pulled a 3.5 this year and it was the first time you’ve won in 7 years.
You‘re highest rating in 2021 was 4.8 for the championship game because nothing else was on.
OU vs Texas is pulling 3.5 so you’re not going to sniff 5 million.
I don't recall Texas and Tech ever having any "ill will" toward each other. (Tech fans did let Chris Beard have it when Texas played in Lubbock this year but it won't last.)
I don't know why but over the years the bad feelings seem to be more between Tech and A&M. Guess it stems from both being agricultural schools. A&M really lobbied hard against Tech opening another veternarian school in Texas. That got pretty nasty in the legislature but the bad feelings preceeded that.
I'll be surprised if Texas or A&M ever schedules any OOC games with Baylor, TCU or Houston in the future. They might fill in schedules with games against my guys, North Texas, Sam Houston, SMU, etc. but not the four in state Big 12 schools...sans Texas/Tech game. JMO.

i mean every season.. like they will still play 1 marquee OOS P5 program, then have 2 or 3 of said schools fill out the rest. UT used to play multiple P5 schools every season.. they had Cal/ND in the same season twice.. MD/SC in the same season too.. Hell they also had UCLA/BYU in the same OOC schedule before too
Herman got them out of that once he arrived, made sure that the future schedules didn't have multiple P5 games
