tOSU what about Houston, they have a mobile qb that is pretty good.it is reeling from conference realignment. A lot of schools had trouble recruiting during not just one but two rounds of it. From 2005 to 2011 or 2012 it was right up there with the best of them. These things are cyclical and it will come back around. My problem is when the Big 12 was good, it wasn't really touted much by the national media, but is a league like the Big 10 pisses half way straight, they get propped up by outfits like ESPN like they are the best thing since sliced bread. Hope OU takes out tOSU next year.
This is non-physical conference. Spread offenses rely of speed, finesse and scheme. Defenses have adapted in this conference to that. But, when it comes time to line up and play hard nosed football Big12 teams are out of luck.
Love the acc hate but if we win that's 2 out of 3 years and in first 2 playoffs.
Doesn't seem weak too me
A team does not a conference make. That's why conference strength is measured by all the teams.
And when that is done, the ACC is clearly the weakest Power 5 conference. And it's not really debatable over the season.
Bowls are an important barometer as they feature cross-conference competition. But again, how just ONE team performs is not an indication of CONFERENCE strength.
If it was, you want the ACC judged on FSU's bowl performance?
Well then let's hope TCU or KSU make something happen. Cuz right now the Big XII is leaning pretty heavily on being judged by Baylor's bowl performance.A team does not a conference make. That's why conference strength is measured by all the teams.

The Big 12 is weak because Texas consistently is arrogant and underachieves.
Root cause of the weakness is the failed Longhorn Network, and the unfavorable finances and attitude dealt to universities like Nebraska and Missouri.
In summary, a huge part of why Texas is hated is evidenced by the weakness of the Big 12. UT is full of jackasses that think their farts smell like chocolate cake and everyone else should love them.
Thanks for ruining the Big 12, Texas.
As we sit here watching OSU get beat like a drum I guess we can all do our best Chicken Little about the Big 12.
However, before the last few bowl games, the Big 12 was ranked only behind the SEC in overall strength. The league plays a round-robin and outside of Kansas, there is no lower tier to feast on the way other comferences do.
West Virginia is relatively new to the Big 12 party and I know we don't pretend to offer the value that Nebraska and Missouri offered, but I do think the Big 12 is far stronger than some in this thread believe.
And Texas will be back soon enough.
That's because Texsucks sucks so bad. Field a competitive team sometime in the next few years and maybe your dirty diaper will matter. Until then, you'll just have to wait until the Sooners are done dealing with their Big 12 Championship before we have time to soothe your pathetic cries.It is in a 4th place tie with the ACC, behind the SEC, Big 10 and PAC 12. Do not ever say this league is better than the ACC.

Yep, Texas is the pretty girl that doesn't get ask to the prom because it's no secret she has the clap.
(she's a ho)

Are you kidding? YOU HAVE ONE TEAM!!! Baylor manhandled your #2 team, and Baylor was our #4 team. LOL at the ACC...then your #3 team gets owned by HOUSTON.
ACC IS THE WEAKEST POWER CONFERENCE. Period. Clemson is having ONE good year. Congrats.
