It is interesting, Nash...Cool and interesting chart Rain. 5 Big 12 members in there too. I think another aspect to consider in the scheme is that in all honesty the conference has not been real strong the past few years.
I wonder how much of the in-conference play comprises those #s. I bet alot...
It does seem like, with a few exceptions, there is more parity in the Big12 in recent years and most games are competitive, entertaining, and close.
I am actually one who believes the Big12 is underrated and underappreciated when compared to anyone but the perennial elites. I'd put our top 4-5 against anyone outside of the Bama, Clemson, OhioState, etcs (say. the top 6-7 teams) most years and show you a good ball game. I realize I'm in the minority, but ...
Anyway...good catch....the Big12 plays close, competitive games for the most part and, to me, is one of the harder conferences to pick games within on any given Saturday.
