🚨 Make no mistake, the Big 12 just got stronger! Welcome, Arizona, ASU, Colorado, and Utah!

These additions have brought some of the fiercest rivalries under one roof, while also granting access to all four time zones! With these moves, the Big 12 cements its place as a top 3 conference in football and the indisputable king of college hoops!
🏈🏀Bright days ahead!

Houston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[University of Houston @UHouston]

HOUSTON IS GOING TO ITS FIRST NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SINCE 1984! #FinalFour #ForTheCity

[Big XII Theory @NewBigXII]

@FinesseKing_420 Dang missed that one. Further emphasizes the point for sure!

[Big XII Theory @NewBigXII]

57% of the big 12 teams are still alive in the Sweet 16! Plenty of opportunity to make some noise. #MarchMadness

[locked on big 12, america’s conference. @LOBig12]

west virginia was left out of march madness in favor of north carolina, per committee chair bubba cunningham.

that's bubba cunningham, athletic director of... north carolina.

[Big XII Theory @NewBigXII]

What a joke. West Virginia went to Kansas and won. Took down Iowa State, Gonzaga and Arizona.

North Carolina? Their best win was UCLA and not much else.

Yet, WVU (6-10 vs. Quad 1) is out, while UNC (1-12 vs. Quad 1) is in. 😤

Who would win a hypothetical matchup between #10 SMU and #17 BYU? Is there any way to know?

[Big XII Theory @NewBigXII]

@ol_boat343 CIN, ISU and HOU all winning is literally the only scenario that would keep them out.

[Big XII Theory @NewBigXII]

At this point here is what is needed to get the Big 12 Championship berth:

ASU: beat U of A and win by BYU

BYU: beat Houston and win by KSU

Colorado: BYU loss clinches

ISU: beat KSU and BYU win or (BOTH) TCU and Houston wins

[Big XII Theory @NewBigXII]

@ol_boat343 That’s where it goes back to all of the scenarios above. There are a multiple scenarios where they would play BYU, ISU, or CSU.

@gregwrubell Fixed. Thanks

If Boise State were in the Big 12 this year, playing a Big 12 schedule, where would they end up?
