The Big 12 Conference has announced game times for week eight, and it’s not good news for the Big 12. It’s yet another week of no Big 12 games in primetime. It has to be concerning for a conference that boasts two of the nation’s best four teams.

The Big 12 being weak is crazy talk, but the longer it goes on the more perception becomes reality. Because of the rhetoric the national interest level in Big 12 football is falling. Those problems go away though if conference gets a team into the playoff, and right now those odds look good.
