B12 has a chance to redeem the past season's performance with this set of bowl games. But, my guess is B12 will be favored in only the Fiesta Bowl and will likely be wiped out in the remaining five bowls.

Fiesta Bowl: #6 Baylor (11-1) vs #15 UCF (11-1)
Sugar Bowl: #11 Oklahoma (10-2) vs #3 Alabama (11-1)
Cotton Bowl: #13 Oklahoma State (10-2) vs #9 Missouri (11-2)
Alamo Bowl: Texas (8-4) vs Oregon (10-2)
Holiday Bowl: Texas Tech 7-5) vs Arizona State (10-3)
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl: Kansas State (7-5) vs Michigan (7-5)

Champs Bowl will replace Holiday Bowl in 2014 and Cotton Bowl will disappear as B12 designated bowl being replaced by Sugar Bowl.

Besides Tech, OU and Oklahoma St winning, I could care less about the other teams in this conference. Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma St drew some great opponents and the TV ratings should be good. Baylor's reward for winning the Big 12 is the right to play UCF. Great accomplishment, something that I hope Kliff and Red Raiders experience soon but no one outside of Waco or Orlando will give 2 craps out the Fiesta Bowl.

Despite losing to baylor, OU definitely scored huge with the Sugar Bowl against Bama.

OU beat Notre Dame, ranked at the time and expected to be a strong team when scheduled, plus a ranked #7 Oklahoma State. So, for some to call OU undeserving is not exactly correct.

Never underestimate Bill Snyder. KSU is on an upswing. They won't have as much talent as Michigan, but they've won lots of games with less talent.

OU and Texas Tech are probably overmatched. Ok. St. and Missouri should be an interesting game. You're never sure if the Texas offense will show up. That will be necessary to give the defense some rest. If so, the Alamo could be a very interesting game. UCF will be hyped, but the question is whether they have the D line to slow Baylor down. If not, it could be a long day for them.

Kinda a tough spot. You want two teams in the BCS but the Big 12 was not deep this year and it means we are going to be underdogs in a lot of bowl games.

their wins are.....
LA Layfayette (8-4)
Umass (1-11)
wvu (4-8)
ISU (3-9)
TCU (4-8)
KU (3-9)
texas tech- they finished 7-5 however they tanked big time towards the end of the season and thats when KSU played them

yes michigan isnt that much better in terms of resume however of our 5 losses, 4 of them were by 4 pts or less with b10 champ msu being the only school that really put a beating on us

Michigan almost lost to UConn. Buffalo destroyed UConn and you bet your butt North Dakota State would do the same. Michigan fails to impress me in any capacity. KSU gave all the opponent could want to BU, OSU, UT, and OU. Very easily could be a 10-2 team. How they match up to each other could go either direction but current resume favors the Snydercats.
