The Big 12 is a massive joke.

Baylor vs Texas, they have already scored 4 TD's in less than 5 min.

Just kill the conference please.

Edit: FSU > Clemson

They already killed themselves by not expanding.

They said they didn't want to hurt the competitive balance. What a joke. Can you honestly tell me that adding teams like Houston, Boise, BYU, and Colorado State would be any worse than Iowa State or Kansas?

No expansion indicates that Texas and OU still run the show, so blame them for the decline of the Big 12.

Some more undefeated teams went down today
Wyoming beat #13 Boise State, 30-28
#11 Wisconsin beat #7 Nebraska, 23-17 in OT
Texas beat #8 Baylor, 35-34
Oklahoma State beat #10 West Virginia, 34-20

Florida State is hanging tough with Clemson, too. We'll see how that plays out.

Typical Tennessee season.

At least the Florida streak is reset.

Has the conference definitively said no to expansion?

Its my favourite conference, but I can't argue with the sentiments in this thread.

Dalvin Cook did all he could to beat Clemson. Those penalties on the last drive were back breakers.

Umm... I still think its going to be Alabama and OSU at the end.

BTW, ESPN is now trying to get the BiG XII champion in the playoff, what a joke.

There is only one undefeated school left, so the Big 10, ACC, and PAC12 Champ is going to have at least one loss, maybe more than one loss before everything is all done. Its a reach, but if Oklahoma, with losses to Ohio State and Clemson (was it Clemson?) wins the Big12 without a conference loss, I could see the argument for it. It could only be Oklahoma though, and even then, it would be tough.

What I took away from this weekend is that this year, there is BAMA, and then there is everyone else, pretty far behind.

EDIT: Actually if WV wins their remaining games they would be Big12 Champions with only one loss. Still, considering how fucked up the conference is, the most realistic chance a Big 12 school has to make the playoff is to go undefeated in the regular season.

Oklahoma lost to Clemson the last 2 years in bowl games, it wasn't even close in either game.

This year they got their ass kicked by Ohio state and Houston.

That loss to Houston is looking real bad right now.

Oh well, its pretty much the defacto Big12 championship game this weekend Oklahoma vs. WV. :buttrock: Even with all of the ineptitude of the conference, it should still be a good game. Might as well enjoy while the conference still exists. That whole not expanding thing is still stupid; most conferences would be all for growing, but not the Big12.

Texas celebrations after the ND win seem really hilarious now.

Lets put this in perspective. Before this win, Kansas was on a 9 game losing streak, a 19 game losing streak in the conference, and (this is the one I almost couldn't believe) had not beaten Texas since 1938.

How badly is it going for you when you lose to the most inept program in the Big12, and possibly the power 5?

The conference is a trainwreck, but damn if its not entertaining. All Texas schools in the Big12 lost this week BTW. :lolz:

Good bye Charlie Strong, you had your chance.

If Alabama, Clemson, Washington and Penn State all win their conference championships I say Ohio State should be left out.

my playoff prediction

1.Bama
2.Clemson
3.Washington
4.Penn State

There is a 0.00% chance they leave out the suckeyes. OSU is already locked in.

Relegate the entire SEC East.

Kentucky is probably the best team.
