Back to EpisodesWHAT: CBS Sports' Josh Pate Says Big 12 is NOT A Power Conference Anymore?
Description
The assertion that the Big 12 is significantly "worse" than the SEC or Big Ten is a gross oversimplification and potentially inaccurate.
- Competitive Parity: The Big 12 consistently demonstrates a high level of competitive parity. Any team on any given Saturday can come out on top, leading to exciting and unpredictable games. This competitive environment pushes teams to constantly improve and strive for excellence.
- Offensive Firepower: The Big 12 is renowned for its high-powered offenses, producing thrilling and entertaining games for fans.
- Playoff Contenders: The conference has consistently produced playoff contenders, demonstrating its ability to compete at the highest level of college football.
- Recruiting Momentum: The Big 12 has become a more attractive destination for top recruits, with programs actively competing for elite talent on the national stage.
While the SEC and Big Ten have historically dominated college football, the Big 12 has proven itself to be a formidable force.
Key Considerations:
- Defining "Worse": "Worse" is subjective and can be measured in various ways (e.g., national championships, playoff appearances, average rankings).
- Recent Success: The Big 12 has demonstrated its competitiveness in recent years, with several teams contending for conference championships and achieving success in the College Football Playoff.
