Why Fewer Big 12 Teams in Bracketology Isn't a Bad Thing — and the CFP Standoff Explained
from First and 16 Podcast - Big 12 College Football and College Basketball · host Adam Gibby
Bracketology doesn't look kind to the Big 12 right now, but that doesn't mean the conference is in trouble. In this episode, I break down why a lower projected number of Big 12 teams in the NCAA Tournament can actually work in the league's favor, how the Big 12 is being evaluated differently than the Big Ten and SEC, and what history tells us about March success. I also dive into why the Big Ten and SEC remain at odds over a new College Football Playoff model, what each side wants, and how the power struggle could shape the future of college sports.
