Big 12 Bowl Season
- Thread starter WVUALLEN
- Start date
Top to bottom the Big 12 is a difficult conference. Unfortunately at the top (at least this year) it doesn't have multiple juggernauts. I do think TCU when on can play with anyone and they have the best NFL built WR in the 2023 draft (probably to 10 pick) with a ton of speed all around him.
TCU is luckiest team in college football 2022. They had 2 conference games they dominated the rest they eeked out. Michigan is going to spank that toad.
I havent watched a single bowl this year. Something about the transfers and players sitting out has taken away its appeal, unless its WVU of course. No shocker the B12 is doing bad. This season was the worst/weakest year in the B12 since we joined it. The B12 sucks and is overrated.
I've watched bits and pieces. Just not the same with opt outs, portals and NIL.
Big 12 this year shows you how bad we really were.
Big 12 didn't have any dominant teams this year but I don't think it had any terrible teams either but that's not a good combination for a successful bowl season.
One overlooked factor that plays a role in a conference's postseason success is a CFP invitation. If your conference has at least one CFP school, then your school's conference's bowl record will likely be worse than it would have been otherwise, due to tougher postseason match-ups.

This game is far from over. Michigan is a second half team, statistically in a big way. I'm excited to see if TCU can continue this level of play. I hope they do and take UM down.
Damn that was a great drive just now by TCU. They had to respond to the Michigan TD and they did, and made it look easy. Good stuff.
Followed by a pick 6. Very nice! Good for TCU. Send poopligan back home crying.

Luckily it’s the only win that matters. If the Big XII could only win its playoff games and lose every other bowl result for the rest of its history, it would be far more valuable than the inverse.
And better than Big 10 or SEC winning it.
I hate TCU with a passion. But that was their best game all season. They earned it. Did something Oklahoma couldn't even do.
For those concerned with the long term viability of WVU’s conference status, a TCU national title would go a long way to securing WVU’s seat at the table for the next decade or so. Of course we have to worry about the potential of TCU being poached, but let’s live in the now and root for something a Big XII team hasn’t done in about 15 years and something a post OU/UT departure school hasn’t done in about a century.
Just gonna say that Clemson was an afterthought before Dabo started winning natties, and now they are the prize for the B1G or SEC if they can ever pry them loose from the ACC GOR deal. If TCU follows that route then the SEC or B1G will find a place for them.
Lol has won 10+ games over the past 12 seasons and the ACC 7 of the past 8… it’s definitely not over. DJ Ugawhatever was a bad choice at QB, I’m sure they’ll do better on the next swing.
Still won 11 and still won the ACC. But sure, he lost a bowl game. He also gave up 70 to DH in a bowl game once, one coach went on to win multiple national titles and one went on to coach Houston…
