OT: Big XII Schedule Released

Submitted by Maize_in_Spartyland on

After West Virginia was cleared to join the Big XII, the Big XII announced their schedules today.

As no surprise, TCU and Texas will meet on Thanksgiving. Note TCU's first half of the conference schedule, then look at the second half.

Oklahoma still has two OOC games to schedule and Oklahoma State needs one more.

The entire conference slate can be seen here.

I'm looking forward to seeing how TCU does in the league. I think they could be legitimately great now that they'll be able to tap into Texas recruiting even better

I really hate it when conferences have geographic outliers. I don't get why the SEC didn't invite WVU instead of Mizzou. Is it because of their academics? The SEC has Mississippi and Mississippi State, fergodsakes!

Missouri is contiguous to Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas while West Virginia is contiguous to only Kentucky.  Geographically, Missouri probably made more sense to the SEC and I'm guessing the SEC decision makers didn't take the Big12's feelings into consideration when they poached Missouri.

WVU could easily lose four or five games in conference this season.  Dropping FSU will end up looking like a pretty good decision for them if they barely scrape into a bowl with a 7-5 record.
