    Confused? The Big XII sucks every year except for OU. Since they suck this year too its even worse.

    Actually, entering today, the BIg 12 had the best defense Efficiency and the SEC had the worst #ESPNGameDay #True

    Yeah....I'm not buying the Big12 sucks theme based on what I am seeing on the field. This is an unusual year for all conferences and teams and I do not believe the actual play in the Big12 matches the very negative narrative that is being written...especially when compared with what I am seeing in other conferences. JMHO

    Wait until you see the PAC-12 before you say the Big XII is horrible.

    The Pac-12 is obviously the worst, but the Big-12 is right behind them this year. Neither conference will get a team into the college football playoff, unless Oklahoma State happens to win out. That would be the only team that can make it from either conference in the college football playoff.

    In addition to 1 SEC, ACC, and Big10 team, the 4th slot will go to either a second SEC or ACC team (including Notre Dame), or a Group of 5 school like Cincinnati or SMU. This being 2020 it wouldn't surprise me if a Group of 5 school makes it to the playoff this year.

    If fate wants to rub the Longhorns nose in it, then the 4th team will be SMU led by ex-Longhorn Shane Buechele.

    By the way, here is the breakdown of the number of teams from each conference who have made it to the college football playoff over the last 6 years (since it started)

    • ACC - 7
    • SEC - 7
    • Big10 - 4
    • Big12 - 4
    • Pac12 - 2

    This list includes Notre Dame as an ACC team, since they play most of their games against ACC teams.

    Clemson and Ala are way above any teams that have played thus far this year.

    The Big12 fell behind on week 1 and never caught up.

    At least the SEC is perceived as top-heavy right now. 4 of the top 10, but also only 4 of the top 25.

    Big 12 is horrible this year top to bottom. Probably the worst the conference has ever been. You have Arkansas St, Louisiana, Coastal Carolina beating the **** out of our teams and Houston Baptist and Tulane almost beat Tech and OSU. The fact that a coach with top 8 recruiting classes the last 4 years and a SR QB can't blow out these teams is a joke. We will even struggle against a horrible BU team that has missed 3 weeks of practices and only played 2 games.

    Blatant and unsupported rankings without two major conferences and most gang of five teams and few chances of cross conference games until the post season when SECSECSEC can claim if they are not playing each other in the NCAA finals they don't care and it doesn't matter. (see something even Covid doesn't change).
