Not Facing Reality
On Big 12 sites a lot. Big 12 hyperbole galore. I will not troll them. They constantly pat themselves on the back for adding those AAC G5 schools. A long gone ex Big 12 Commish did it big time in a video I saw. It is like they are better off with UCF, Cincinnati, Houston, & BYU than with Oklahoma & Texas. Someone knowing little about college football would buy it. Maybe it is because Oklahoma & Texas are not yet gone. Probably there at least two more football seasons, maybe three. I remember Arkansas in the SWC a couple years after announcing the SEC move. The road games are brutal with harassing verbiage by mad fans. The Arkansas newspaper sports pages was full of vitriol spewed out of the sport's departments of those Texas schools. That kind of junk just sells newspapers. Gets everybody mad. I think the Big 12 better hope for at least a 12 team play-off. They may never get a team in a lesser play-off. That would be the conference's demise. They also had better get some Pac teams that actually will help the perception of the Big 12 with people. The sentiment on this board is correct. The Big 12 is definitely at this time in a lot worse shape than the ACC.

The Big XII is becoming like an MBS tranche. The AAA’s and AA’s are gone!

I found the Pac-10/12 historically to be the most balances league.

ACC needs to drop Wake, Syracuse and BC. There's only room for one Duke.
