The national spotlight rarely stops on Big 12 football anymore.
The SEC has that must-see showdown every Saturday afternoon on CBS. ABC's Saturday Night Football migrates to the Big Ten or ACC. About all the Big 12 gets is an occasional Fox game on Saturday night or an exclusive ESPN window on a non-Saturday.
Notre Dame at Texas on a rare Sunday night ABC game. OU-Ohio State on Fox. OSU-Baylor on Fox. That was the extent of the Big 12's marquee platforms this season.
Until Saturday night in Lubbock, when Fox trotted out Oklahoma-Texas Tech. And the Big 12 felt like closing the blinds.
