Much depends on the particular draw for a team. we then project that single game to the conference. Not valid, as I see it. The Big 12 will have 6 teams go to bowls (that's 60% of the conference). Could ahem 70% if Kansas State sneaks in. One team not going is Texas, and we ALL know they are an outstanding program that will be back. The ACC is top dominant with Clemson and FSU (Yes, I know that UNC has had an unusual season, but it is NOT a strong program that will maintain that level of production.Bottom feeders in ACC are, in my opinion, far weaker than those in the Big XII. I would see Kansas handily beating Boston College. Iowa State is far superior to Wake Forest.   Go up the line and compare. We are in a far better competitive position in the Big XII.</p></blockquote><p></p>
