Now let's look at the Big12
OU got violated in the cotton bowl.
ISU lost to Tulsa.
WVU got beat down by Syracuse.
TCU lost to Michigan State.
KState got blown out by Oregon in their BCS game.

The Big12 was downright pathetic last bowl season. I cannot say the same for the ACC.
Yes like I said only Clemson beat a good team and they all had cupcake schedules the whole conference. Even with cupcake schedules only half the teams were bowl eligible which is pathetic. Every ACC bowl game was pathetic except Clemson, who only a year before suffered the worst defeat in bcs history. Last year was not the big 12s best year I'll give you that but it isn't fair to compare them to the ACC yet. They would have to suck for 10 years for that to happen and have only a few teams who are bowl eligible.

No doubt last year was one of the worst years in WVU history , however it still did better than half of the ACC. That just puts into perspective how bad the ACC is. The same WVU team last year that also did terrible was good enough to beat Clemson, who had the worst perfermance in BCS history. Same couch and players. Just goes to show how truly pathetic the ACC is as a conference.

Face it you are a bottom feeder conference. If you don't like this reputation start playing good football. One year isn't enough to erase a decade of failure.
That is true.

But the Big XII is losing credibility fast.....with Texas down it really hurts our conference. Also, the fact that we're the only major conference without a conference championship game really lowers our perception in the national media's eyes (the guys with the most power).

Big 12 is still nowhere near account bad.

In case you weren't aware UNC and Miami would have been bowl eligible but they both self imposed bans to bowls because of their ongoing NCAA investigations. That would push ACC up to 8. Though again... it isn't about who makes it as it matters who WINS their games.

Big 12 is worst than the American Atlantic. Yes I said it. If I was Oklahoma and Texas, I would jump off the sinking ship.

West Virginia would have been hammered by Clemson last year. Too bad they didn't play, BCS game was in 2011 season. Last year you guys got beat bad by Syracuse (ACC now). This year they were good enough to lay an egg against Maryland (ACC) this season. Must be sad to know your team can't beat teams from the conference you continue to homer on. Geno Smith left and there went the offense. Defense didn't exist last year too. West Virginia is pure garbage and doesn't look like it is going anywhere soon. Glad our leftover at least helped you get a score finally.

Lol, talk is cheap. Fact is 50% of your conference wasnt even bowl eligible. WVU sucked last year still did better than most of your conference. ACC is pure garbage and doesn't look like it is going anywhere soon, ACC sucks so much a team as bad as WVU would be one of the best in your pathetic conference. Must be sad to get no respect and be a joke of a conference.

ACC sucks and everyone knows it. Ragging on WVU wont get the ACC or your FSU any more credibility. I realize you have nothing to boost for them so that is all you have, but it just proves my point. You are a shrimp who wants to be seen as a shark, but everyone sees you as a shrimp. Deal with it.

Stop being such an ACC homer.

I'll re-open this thing but I see a bunch of posts that need to go that I'll get to later. This is a discussion about the Big XII Conference, can we make it a civil one? And from what I've read here I don't believe the status of the Atlantic Coast Conference teams have a lot to do with this thread.

Thread re-opened.

Lol, at piggy fan thinking Texas fans actually wanted this win.

I was hoping Iowa State would win.

Wouldn't be surprised if Stoops keeps it close next week just to make sure Mack says. What a dumpster fire!
