There is a reason why ESPN/ABC has has the Big XII (Big 12) as there game of the week for the past 5 or 6 weeks.  And not only was it the Big XII but it was the Big XII South.  That is because the Big XII South has 4 extrordinary teams, 3 of which are in the BCS hunt. 

Oklahoma showed last week how competivive the conference is.  They beat, Texas Tech (who I have a soft spot for) in a route.  And next they get my beloved Oklahoma State.  A mere conoslation in the long term.   Here is the great thing about the Big XII South.  Oklahoma and Texas are powerhouses. Tech has a great recruiting and coaching staff.  Oklahoma State has an epic facility that is sure to help them keep on competing.  Plus Oklahoma State's most potent weapons are all juniors. 

The SEC has a couple of good teams, and the SEC champ is sure to meet a Big XII South team in the Championship game.   Regardless of the outcome, the Big XII South is the toughest division in college football, and is sure to continue being the proving ground for champions for years to come.
