The Power 2 Conferences, the SEC and B1G, are full of national rivalries. Everyone knows about the Iron Bowl, The Game, and even some of the more realignment focused rivalries, like the Red River Shootout and Oregon/Washington. But what does the Big 12 have now?
As a conference, they're kind of in a race with the ACC to become the "best of the rest". This has led to some interesting additions throughout the recent past, creating a patchwork quilt for next season that might not necessarily look the greatest for producing rivalries like the SEC and B1G already have. What they lack in major historical rivalries, though, they might make up for in some of the NCAA's newest rivalries.
That's the question I sought to answer here with this low-key, highly unedited, conversational style video---what are some of the Big 12's best and brightest rivalries for the near future, and is there any possibility of new ones being formed in front of our eyes?
