Sorry to the selection committee no Texas A&M versus Texas match up!
Yea, the entire conference[laughing][jumpingsmile][roll]Wow! Crash and burn...
Texas Tech, Baylor, Texas, West Virginia...
Am I missing someone?
Second nature I was thinking Aggies but they got the hell out before Big 12 falls apart and came to the best football conference in the land. Their hoops ain't bad tho!Yea, the entire conference[laughing][jumpingsmile][roll][pfftt][banana][cheers]:scream::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:
Mid majors are better than people think and every year they get more skilled. It's just a matter of time till they break through for a championship. The blue bloods playing each other early helps mid majors sneak by.
How many years in a row is this going to have to happen before the "Big 12 is the best" talks stops?
KU streak would not exist if Wichita was in Big 12.
Let's not go full on crazy here. The Big 12 stumbled again today, but teams like Kentucky, Kansas, Duke etc. aren't where they are at by pure chance. Dominating consistency is what has separated them from everyone else.KU streak would not exist if Wichita was in Big 12.

Every 4-5 years we have a Gonzaga, VCU, Wichita St. or whoever wannabe upstart it is the next couple of years that gets a few pieces together, makes some news a few years in a row, and now suddenly thinks they deserve a seat at the table with the big boys. The only difference is a few players graduate, and poof, the magic is gone.
Kentucky and even Kansas though don't drop off like that. They put teams together that compete hard and at a high level every single year. I just hate the rhetoric that always surrounds these small guys. "If those big guys would just play us all the time then we'd show'em!" Sure, WSU might beat Kansas every now and then, and UNI might beat UNC once in a blue moon, but put them in the same league where they have to compete day in and day out? No chance.
Wait until Witchita State gets ahold of Kansas,LMAONorthern Iowa = Big 12 killers
if ku wins imo it'd be real close. uconn is a better defensive team right now.Wait until Witchita State gets ahold of Kansas,LMAO
If UConn doesn't do it first [winking]

Actually, the Big 10 is 5-3 counting Michigan's play-in game. I have it summarized in another thread.And the Big 10 barely does better at 4-3 when it very well could have easily been 2-5. At least the Big 12 still has its top teams still in it. Once again it's up to Kansas try and carry that league.
The last championship that over hyped conference won was 1990 and they will not win it this year. After we kick IU's butt today all of their hopes will be shattered. Hell Iowa was lucky to win. I guess Maryland and Iowa go out tomorrow.Actually, the Big 10 is 5-3 counting Michigan's play-in game. I have it summarized in another thread.
The PAC 12 actually did worse. They were 2-5 when favored while the Big 12 was 3-4 when favored.
