If the Big 12’s marquee teams, UT and OU don’t start stepping it up, the Big 12 is finished. Having Baylor and TCU and your standard bearers isn’t going to cut it, with the blue-chippers.
I still believe that it was criminal that neither Baylor or TCU made the playoffs...They were really good 1-loss teams and they probably both could have smoked any team from any conference with the exception of the mighty SEC...

No “if” about it, the Big 12 is dead. It’s demise began with the SWC breakup and Arkansas was not guaranteed a slot in the upcoming Big 12. Then, loosing Nebraska, Missouri, and A&M. All four marquee programs doing well - except Nebraska which is a misfit in the Big 10.
