Bevo’s Daily Roundup: Bowl season suggests future Big 12 teams will come in strong

The BYU Cougars, the UCF Golden Knights, the Houston Cougars, and the Cincinnati Bearcats are set to join the Big 12 Conference as soon as 2023, as the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners depart for the SEC. Judging by each team’s success in the bowl season so far — minus BYU’s loss to the UAB Dragons – it seems the conference will continue its success, albeit with smaller brands that aren’t subsidizing everyone else like Texas.
