Big 12 takes step forward in 2015, but bowl season shows work still ahead

Oklahoma advanced to the College Football Playoff.

TCU completed the biggest comeback in bowl history.

Baylor annihilated the ACC Coastal champs without bothering to use a quarterback.

The 2015 season in the Big 12 officially was put to bed late Saturday night after West Virginia rallied to topple Arizona State in the Motel 6 Cactus Bowl, giving the conference a respectable 3-4 bowl record.

In many ways, the Big 12 took a much-needed step forward this year. Oklahoma State, TCU and Baylor all finished with double-digit win totals. The Sooners also showed that a Big 12 team could in fact make the playoff, even in a disadvantaged format.
