Quite a few B10 sources have been saying for awhile that they are more

interested in Miami, than FSU. I don't agree with it. But they have been saying it. And BTW, winning matters and changes perceptions. No one is talking about VT to the P2 because we have been mediocre over the past decade. If Franklin puts a nice little late 1990s-early 2000s run together. Trust me, we will be in that conversation. But the time is NOW. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 1/2/2026, 11:55:48 AM

Frist spending ~$250M & getting Franklin 2nd is a good start for Va Tech!**

Dan got his result to stick up for the G5 and has axe to grind

The problem of the B12 is that they don’t have a blue blood brand
RandomAsianGuy • 01/02/26 01:12 PM ET
You are absolutely right. Big 12 has a bunch of solid teams
HouClone • 01/02/26 02:13 PM ET
Wolken openly questioning whether the B12 should remain a power conference**

that's a crap article (hit piece). To post that while Bama was getting

Since Texas Tech lost 23-0 yesterday, perceptually I do understand why
VTHokie2000 • 01/02/26 03:04 PM ET
Writer doesn't mention that Arizona State almost beating Texas last year.

Wolken nailed it......

Comical that conventional wisdom now is that Miami is the team the P2 want

I don't dislike the BigXII, but their YouTuber-types who spew nonsense

Locked on Big 12 guy is the worst. **
RandomAsianGuy • 01/02/26 01:10 PM ET
Is he Garth or Wayne?**
MrBayAreaHokie • 01/02/26 08:09 PM ET
Winning another playoff game ....
2hhoop3 • 01/02/26 12:58 PM ET
It's ironic that the B12 gets blame for playoff losses, but OU and Texas
HokieAl • 01/02/26 04:19 PM ET
The conference they reside in at ......

We drink beer in a can. No blue bloods, and the atlhetic budgets

FWIW VT and K-State were scheduled to play a home-home series when Ron

Go Miami. the B12 and the ACC will be one bid conferences until
Big12 guy • 01/02/26 10:05 AM ET
The ACC was a two-bid conference last year**
SMU Pony • 01/02/26 12:23 PM ET
Yes they were, but their champ
Big12 guy • 01/02/26 12:34 PM ET
Stupidest tie breaker rules ever, and the other Conferences had them too.**
Stech • 01/02/26 03:14 PM ET
Agree. Will they change them?**
Big12 guy • 01/02/26 09:04 PM ET
I think so after this, but 🤷‍♂️**
Stech • 01/02/26 10:36 PM ET
Who knows?
RJHokie • 01/02/26 09:09 PM ET
That's still a better chance at an at-large than the Big 12 has
cburgroop • 01/02/26 01:24 PM ET
Maybe but committee has put in lower reputation teams ahead as others.
