I thought so, but it's again the best, deepest conference [top to bottom].

I'd have to argue that this year b1g is the best from top to bottom. Your bottom seems a bit weak this year.

K-State
Kansas
Iowa State
West Virginia

mid tiers:
Texas
Baylor
Texas Tech
West Virginia
TCU

Top Tier:
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State

Yes I put WV twice, because it is uncertain if they are a decently good team, or bad. They barely got by WM, looked awful vs Oklahoma and then beat another FCS school.

I have never really thought of a large group of average teams being "the deepest". perhaps the phrase OP is looking for is "most bland", "most spare", or even "most inconsequential".

I'm waiting on a certain someone to send me an avy from a bet, but they don't seem too interested in it. Otherwise I'd have a picture of Dallas beating STL.

I think the Big 12 is down enough to where they ought to officially switch names with the Big 10.

It's amazing how one year in the SEC can turn someone into a douchebag. Ten bucks says you hated the SEC two years ago...

Do you have any idea what's going on here?

Didn't think so, feel free to shut up.

LOL at thinking this Aggy was even watching football 2 years ago; I'm pretty sure (like the majority of the Aggy fan base) he was hiding under a rock for 16 years and then hopped on that bandwagon in '12.

Oh whatever dude, I've seen MANY post from you recently that are pro SEC and anti Big12. Honestly, you as an ex Big12 fan I would think you would have seen the ridiculousness of the SEC and have a rather reasonable opinion. Clearly one full season has given you a mental block.

I think the jury is still out on if the Big12 has a real "top" this year. Oklahoma, OkSt and Baylor are all in the mix, but they haven't proven a ton thus far. Maybe in a few more weeks it'll be a clearly picture, especially if Oklahoma is indeed a better offense under Bell.

And as long as Texas is in the dumps, I think it's pretty much always going to be a down year for the Big12.

With only 10 teams this is probably true.

Yeah, I went to the school and was enjoying the Crew and the Big12 title in 98...

but you are probably right. :L

No, you have seen me making fun of Texas for their program taht was supposed to be Big12 champs falling on their face and for trying like crazy to claim they are still relevant.

I have bashed on OU fans who dismissed A&M before the cotton bowl.

Other than that, not much big12 hate from me unless it was because someone was trying to make the moronic claim that the conference is better than the SEC because it has 8 average teams instead of a few really good ones.
