This is an interesting league in that it may not have a team ranked in the top 10 at the end of the season, but there are a lot
teams you could reasonably put in the Top 30-50 in this league. That makes for a lot of fun and interesting games to watch
every week. Also, I could argue that winning this league is as tough a challenge as any other conference because you don't
get many (or for some teams any) easy games. There's plenty of talent spread across the conference. Lots of close games
and not that many blowouts. As a fan, that's entertaining as far as I'm concerned. I kind of hope this conference stays in place
because Tech has a reasonable opportunity to elevate the program nationally if they can be successful in this Big 12 and
that is at least possible now that we are on a more even playing field financially. It never felt realistically possible to me in the old Big 12. We'll see how it goes.
