The bigXII is down but most teams aren't terrible

And the Big 12 won't stay down for very long. And the move of the title game kickoff to Noon isn't that big of a deal. The ACC is having their first championship game, so there is some novelty to it.

Colorado is solid, Iowa State is on the rise, and Kansas State and Nebraska are heading back to the way they were. If we can add Arkansas to the North in a few years I think that there would be no problem with how lopsided the conference is. Stuff like this happens over time and it fixes itself over time.

In the 9-year life of the Big 12, the North and South have alternated the conference title every year. That makes us the most evenly matched conference IMO.
