The reply:
It wouldn't happen.
We barely were outplayed if at all by Iowa, and they're going to win their division almost certainly. Sure the big 12 may not have many go pro and missed the playoffs, but also almost sent 2 to the playoffs. The big 12 has 8 good teams of 10. I would say every big 12 team other than Isu and KU could beat everyone in the big ten except Ohio state Michigan Michigan state, perhaps close games wit Wisconsin and Nebraska. and our top few could rival and beat those teams too. Playing a big 12 schedule is far harder than playing a big 10 schedule. The big 10 has teams like Purdue Indiana Illinois Rutgers Maryland usually northwestern Minnesota, this year penn state isn't great either.... All of those games are not only easy wins for most team in the big 12 but many winnable for us, some Even certain wins for us.... Trust me I grew up mostly a Purdue fan(not anymore of course!) and we would hammer them, and even they often, even usually, make a bowl. In the big 12 there's 1 easy game, KU. That's the only game Isu can be confident in each year and we sometimes even lose that. Don't even tell me the big 12 is easier to succeed than the big 10
