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...

If you had to rank the 5 power conferences, the Big 12 comes out dead last, as today has clearly shown, so it stands to reason they were the conference left out of the playoffs.

A whopping 28 yards of total offense for Texas through three quarters.

Yep, the last 3 times the Big 12 played Rose Bowl or what the sportscasters call ‘the granddaddy of all bowls”, the Big 12 defeated the Pac12 and Big10.

They just do not want them on the big stage to upset their little party.
