    Great bowl season. I can't remember seeing so many good close games, games that came down to the last play, or the last minute. WOW!!! The Sooners beat a highly ranked opponent on the West Coast and the game is exciting (wish we woulda run them outta the stadium, personally, but we WON!!!!! so who cares) to the very end, and the same with the Rose Bowl last night. A Big XII team beating ESPN's anointed ones in their own friggin' back yard!!!!

    At least my wife won't come home from work and say "Not football again" until September, and trust me, that's a good thing.

    No one has reported that the Big Twelve had the highest winning percentage when Tejas beat USC! They said the conference was weak this year, but we were expected to loose all bowl games but one and ended up 5-3. Not too shabby...

    The Big XII produces an NC and a 5 win - 3 loss record in bowl games.


    I would have settled for 4-4 and a ut loss. :(

    So it will become a remake of the old UPI poll, pre-1974? For this very reason, any "national championships" courtesy of the UPI (prior to 1974) are specious and are not regarded as legitimate by logical college football experts.

    but if michigan had actually pulled out that miracle, it would have made the bowl season even BETTER. that really was crazy.

    Excellent bowl season!

    I watched games with teams I had no interest in and still enjoyed the games. Most were very exciting and most were filled with a lot of offense (which I like to see).

    The Big XII got no respect this year. We were underdogs in all eight of our bowl games and won more and had the best percentage than any other conference (tied with the ACC).

    This may be conference homerism, but I personally feel as if our record is more impressive because
    1. we were the dogs in every game and
    2. we beat higher calibre teams

    But no mention of the BS "Conference cup" by ESPN since KU whupped Houston in the Fort Worth Bowl.

    I really hate those ESPN douches.

    GREAT bowl season. This was by far the most bowl games I've ever watched.

    How many games were decided or ended by 4th quarter/late interceptions? OU...Tulsa...Cal...BC...Tulsa...Virginia...more? Amazing....
