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

the time is where wins or losses go. The Big 12 has one win and that was against a suspect Michigan team that turned the ball over. The real proof is not in how many teams as much as what those teams do when they get there. The SEC got out of the gate but, has wanted recently. The B1G started slow and is picking up steam. The ACC was solid early on and has wanted in recent times and whether the Big 12 has even got out of the gate is certainly subject to debate.

Since Texas Tech lost 23-0 yesterday, perceptually I do understand why

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

It's ironic that the B12 gets blame for playoff losses, but OU and Texas

Yes they were, but their champ

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

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.
