DALLAS—With the Big 12 producing six of the nation's Top 25 teams, the three-year-old league is finally living up to its billing as a superconference.

But as a whole, the conference was not as strong as others because of lack of depth. After the top few teams were mediocre and below-average ones.
Big 12 Football
Not anymore. Now teams can go weeks between sure wins as almost every opponent is either ranked or has played well against teams that are among the country's best.

The Wildcats were the doormark of the Big Eight when he took over, and now they are the toast of the Big 12.
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder has viewed his conferences from every perspective.
Kansas (2-4, 0-4) has led in the second quarter of all four losses, even on the road against A&M. Baylor (2-3, 1-2) beat North Carolina State when it was No. 20 and only lost to Colorado by two points in Boulder. Oklahoma (2-3, 0-2) could have started the year 4-0 with more accurate kickers.
"Every weekend you're seeing teams that are fighting," Brown said. "The comparative scores in this league are scary at how close they can be."
The idea the four former Southwest Conference schools were riding the former Big Eight's coattails is no longer true. This past weekend, all four SWC holdovers beat former Big Eight foes: A&M upset Nebraska, Texas crushed Oklahoma, Texas Tech got past Oklahoma State and Baylor came back to beat Kansas.
From his perspective, the league is among the best in the country, right where he thinks it belongs.
Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum said the wins showed that the league was going to be more balanced.
"I always felt like that's how the SEC was, that teams beat each other up," said Mack Brown, in his first year coaching at Texas and in the Big 12. "You better be
Take a look at how well some of the unranked teams have fared.
Colorado (5-1), coming off a loss to Kansas State, is No. 19, one spot ahead of Missouri (4-1).
Texas Tech (6-0), enjoying its best start in 22 years, moved into the poll this week at No. 22.
"I think we've already demonstrated there's some balance in the league."
"In two years we've had two champions, one from the North, and one from the South," he said.
"I don't think the conference has ever been too far away," Snyder said. "We need a little time to determine our identity.

"In two years, we've had two champions, one from the North, and one from the South. I think we've already demonstrated there's some balance in the league."
Kansas State (5-0) is ranked No. 4. Nebraska (5-1) had been No. 2 but slid to No. 8. following a loss to Texas A&M that propelled the Aggies (5-1) to No. 10.
R.C. Slocum Texas A&M coach
"People were saying this was a down conference last year and we won a national championship. I have a hard time realizing there's a problem with the strength of the conference. It will take hits once in awhile, but, for continuity and consistency, it's always going to be one of the strongest in the country."
