We are in for a special season with the jumbo-sized Big 12 Conference.
Once upon a time, the Southwest Conference folded shortly after Arkansas was intercepted by the SEC. That left Texas, Texas Tech and a host of other schools as candidates to join the Big Eight. Now, the Big 12 will move from a 10-team league to a 14-team conference for a single season.
Before its move to the SEC, Texas and Oklahoma will share a conference with BYU, Cincinnati, UCF and Houston.
The conference is loaded with storylines, from a pending Bedlam pause to Texas' quest to return to national relevancy.
