The Big 12 may not be the strongest football conference in terms of teams at the top of the standings, but a good case can be made that it is certainly one of the toughest, top to bottom.
Outside of Kansas, which has won just one conference game in the last three years and is 3-33 overall in that time frame, every team in the Big 12 is capable of beating any other conference team on any given weekend.
And the Big 12 teams that regularly contend for the conference crown, including Oklahoma, do not shy away from challenging games in the nonconference schedule, either.
