Big 12 Football is the best conference in the country

1. The Oklahoma schools

There’s been two teams in the Big 12 that have constantly finished at the top of the conference standings. The No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners and No. 9 Oklahoma State Cowboys have been more than impressive with their respective starts to the 2017 campaign.

This week, the Sooners took care of business against the Tulane Green Wave, putting up more than 50 points for the second time this season. Oklahoma State embarrassed the Pittsburgh Panthers, on the road at Heintz Field, by a final score of 59-21.

The defining moment of the year for the Big 12 so far was OU’s road victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes. Last year, Ohio State dominated the Sooners to the mark of a 45-24 victory. Both of the Oklahoma schools made a statement against Power Five competition. OU’s win was much more noteworthy than Oklahoma State’s, who beat Pittsburgh in Week 3.

Bedlam was moved due to the return of the Big 12 Championship Game. The Sooners and Cowboys are very likely to determine the conference champion once again. They could even end up playing each other twice.
