We all know the Big 12 is the land of fireworks and broken scoreboards. Games are won in the 70s, not the teens like that other league 500ish miles to the east. But I bet you didn’t know the importance of creating turnovers in this league (OK, you probably did).
Look at the last seven Big 12 champions and where they ranked in turnover margin per game in the Big 12 and nationally.
2014: TCU (1st in the Big 12 | 3rd nationally) and Baylor (2nd | 7th)
2013: Baylor (2nd | 8th)1
2012: Kansas State (1st | 2nd)
2011: Oklahoma State (1st | 1st)
2010: Oklahoma (1st | 7th)
2009: Texas (1st | 15th)
2008: Oklahoma (1st | 1st)
And here are the numbers so far this year.
