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

throttled in their playoff game is comical. And I've seen the whole "Oregon is the third best team in BIG" quote a few times now...and it's also distorting reality. OSU didn't play either Oregon or IU in the regular season and had a fairly easy schedule in the BIG (only played 1 of the top 6 teams in the conf). Meanwhile Oregon clearly has an elite team that played a very tight regular season game against #1 IU (and played 3 of the top 6 teams in the conf). Texas Tech played against an elite team and lost a defensive battle. It happens all the time. It's hardly the basis to trash an entire conference. And the comment about how TT spent a lot of money while ignoring the massive sums spent by Oregon and Ohio State type schools is laughable. I'm getting tired of these very clearly biased and agenda driven articles that keep pushing the P2 above everyone else. This is a sport. Championships are earned on the field against any and all competition.

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**

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

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

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

Locked on Big 12 guy is the worst. **

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

The conference they reside in at ......

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

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.
