If any conference's defense is being exposed this bowl season, it's clearly the Big 10. It's the Big 12 offenses that aren't really showing up other than Baylor.
I think fans tend to overreact to conference records in bowl games. Not always even matchups.
That said there are two noticeable deficiencies in Big 12 play during the bowl games
1. Big and fast wins out over small and fast or big and average speed.
2. Clemson and Bama are great because their defenses put their opponents back on their heels. They impose their will on their opponent. They play a mans game.

I mentioned the Ole Miss #1 recruiting class for a reason. That said, recruiting isn't why Texas had a losing record.
I meant it looks like no one plays defense during the big12 season. The offenses that exploded every Saturday are being shut down
Yes Old Miss pulled two Top classes in a row suddenly, after sucking for many years. How does that happen. $$$$$$$EC, ISU is never suddenly pulling in a #1 class because we aren't paying them under, over, or through the proverbial table.
I do not mind this at all. If ISU can develop LOS on both sides of the ball it can translate from non con to conference to post season.
Their fans will point out some elite in state prospects...but I'd counter with "who typically go to Alabama, LSU, Florida".
It'd be like if ISU had landed Harrison Barnes over UNC and a few other blue chippers from around the country when we weren't even ranked. It's suspicious.
The Big 12 has looked rough in bowl season a lot lately, while we have won 8 games in three years. I wish I could turn that into a positive in my head, but to me it just shows how far behind we really are.
Sadly this is true. ISU had a chance to make up some ground the past couple of years and we got stomped. ISU really had a chance to make some hay this year with the OL and the serviceable DL in place...and we got 3 wins.
I sure hope Campbell can develop guys and take advantage of what is out there. Development will be key but if ISU truly wants to improve recruiting will need to get better to go along with the development. I am not saying top 20 classes and winning the Big 12 but winning 8-9 games/season for 3 out of 4 season would be outstanding. I do not want people to think I am expecting that, it is just possible IMO.
We lost to two FCS teams and Toledo. It was not a schedule/innate recruiting problem, it was a Rhoads problem. In terms of raw talent we were not that far behind this year. The good news you are always just the right hire away. Let's hope JP made a good decision.
LOL what?? They got dominated from start to finish after the first drive of the game. The score would have been a lot worse if Clemson didn't make a ton of the mistakes they did in the first half.
Another 30 point loss for Big 12 by a depleted Ole Miss team who was missing 3 starters on defensive.
