At last the Big 12 is recognized as the #1 college football conference in America when it comes to depth.
The Big 12 has more teams in the top 25 than any other conference.
HALF the Big 12 schools are in the top 25. No other conference comes close to 50%.
TCU is #4. Oklahoma is #10/#9. Oklahoma State is #11/#12. West Virginia is #22. Iowa State (!) is #25.
Texas, Texas Tech and Kansas State are tough teams to beat, too.
Even Baylor, in last place, has lost 4 of its 7 games by 1 to 8 points. And while starting more freshmen than all but 3 other FBS schools!
Kansas is, well, Kansas. A school waiting for basketball season to start.
Winning a game in the Big 12 is tougher than whipping Ohio State. Just ask Oklahoma.
Big 12 — 5
Big Ten — 4
ACC — 4
Pac-12 — 4
SEC — 4
American — 3
Independent — 1
All of which will make for a fantastic 5 final Big 12 weeks of the season plus the conference title game. Who knows who will be the participants? Maybe WVU and Iowa State. It could happen.
