Bowlsby feels good about Big 12 despite negative perceptions
FRISCO, Texas (AP) Commissioner Bob Bowlsby says the Big 12’s decision to restore a football championship game was based only on the league wanting to optimize its chances of getting a team into the College Football Playoff.
Bowlsby says he feels good about what the Big 12 is doing and he defended the league against negative perceptions.
The Big 12 was 4-2 in bowl games last season, including 10-time Big 12 champion Oklahoma’s 35-19 win over Auburn in the Sugar Bowl. The Sooners were part of the playoff in 2015, the league’s only team so far to make it under the new format.
