In response that one conference was shit.UM wouldn't go undefeated there IMO,just like Cinci wouldn't
The Big 12 is shit.
LOL, here, in my first moment of researching the Big 12 from 2015 (Harbaugh's first year) to now, revealed everything you need to know.
7 bowl teams, going 3-4. But win or lose, EVERY opponent scored at least 37 points against them. Jesus Christ.
Their 3 wins were by an average of 6 points.
Their 4 losses were by an average of 25 points.
.
I'll continue, but this was an orgy of evidence I had to share right away.
2016 - 6 bowl teams went 4-2 and played decent defense overall. Good job. Although it COULD have something to do with not getting anyone into the playoff.
.
2017 - 8 bowl teams, going 5-3. They show they can score, as all but 2 Big 12 teams put up 30+ points.
.
2018 - 7 bowls, going 4-3. But their top team (OU) loses again in the playoff.
.
2019 - uh oh....1-5 in bowls. The Big 12 seems like a 1-trick pony, with OU winning it every year, then losing annually in the playoff. Aside from Texas coming up with 2 upsets in a row, it's not a strong case.
.
2020 - Success! 5-0!!! Great showing! Buuuuut, no playoff representative.
.
22-19 in bowls. Zero playoff wins. 4 appearances, all by the same team. And if all of this isn't convincing, don't forget Kansas is in this conference.
