Steele's taking a flyer on some of these IMO. BC @ 23? TCU @ 20? I don't see those at all.

If those two finish that high I'll eat my crow.

You have a crow?!

Big 12 is always full of a lot of good, but not great teams. Lot of really good coaches with limited resources.
Agree...which makes for good, close and interesting conference races. It is also what is hurting the Big 12 in regards to CFP. JMO.

Just do like the SEC & ACC and move to an 8 game conference schedule so you can avoid playing your own conference members.

The true round robin schedule and only having to divide the money pie by 10 are the best two things going for the Big 12 right now.

What was the big win for the Big12 outside of Oklahoma over OSU last year? There wasn’t anything to hang your hat on. The Big10 had nothing last year and it hurt them.

I'm assuming your mean the "Big 12" instead of the B1G. That said, I can't think of another "big win" for the Big 12 last year. Unless one would consider the OU upset of my Miners as a "big win".

Nope, I mean there wasn’t a big win for the Big10 last year before the bowls and definitely hurt the perception of the conference. I think the best “win” was Maryland over Texas. Let that sink in for a moment.

Now that you mention it, I can't think of any regular season OOC "big wins" by any P5 conference ...other than the OU/tOSU referenced game. The only one that comes to mind without looking at last year's results is Georgia over Notre Dame...and that one is only slightly better (if any) than your referenced Maryland/Texas game IMHO.

ACC...can't think of one.
SEC...only the Georgia game.
PAC...I got nuttin'.
B1G...nuttin'.
Big 12...OU/tOSU.

Anyone else want to throw one out for consideration?

1 is generally pretty good. There aren't generally many chances for a big win OOC, especially ones that match 2 high level teams for P5 conferences. I think USC was the only other opportunity, depending on your definition of big
