If there is a mess to be had in the Power 5, the Big Twelve (Big XII) has been living one for the last decade. If you look at the projected 2022 season slate of teams, the conference has a serious math deficiency. There are only ten teams left in the conference.
That condition was not a very happy circumstance, either. Starting in 2011, the Offense oriented league began to hemorrhage big power programs to other P5 conferences. Colorado, Nebraska, Texas A&M and Missouri jumped ship. Colorado went to the PAC 12, Nebraska trundled its big red tractor into the B1G, then both Texas A&M and Mizzou added to the SEC.
