Big 12 Football History

The Big 12 Conference is the second youngest of the major college athletic conferences in the United States, having formed in 1994 from a merger of one of the oldest conferences, the Big Eight, with four prominent colleges from Texas. From its formation until 2011, its 12 members competed in two divisions. Two charter members left the conference in 2011, and in 2012, two more universities left, while another two joined from other conferences. In 2012, the Big 12 formed an alliance with the Southeastern Conference to host a joint post-season college bowl game between the champions of each conference.

The Iowa State Cyclones football season is officially in the record books. The Cyclones football team finished the season with a 6-7 record, 3-6  in the Big 12 Conference. Under the leadership of head coach, Paul Rhoads, the Cyclones football roster made fans proud.

In fact, they were even invited to the Liberty Bowl where they lost to Tulsa who they had defeated in the opening game of the season. Not too great of a season ending, but we are still happy with the season. The whole season Jack Trice Stadium was filled to capacity with screaming Cyclone fans every game. If you didn't buy Cyclones football tickets this season, don't be left out of the excitement next season.

Projecting the Big 12's first-round picks

McShay says it's going to be West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith , who'll be headed to the Buffalo Bills with the eighth pick and the first quarterback drafted. Kiper? He doesn't even have Smith going anywhere in the first round.

Kiper's first Big 12 player taken is a much less pretty position. He's going with converted quarterback Lane Johnson, who emerged as an offensive line standout over the past couple years for Oklahoma. Kiper says the Sooner will be the first Big 12 player taken, all the way down at No. 16 to the St. Louis Rams. McShay has Johnson going even higher, at No. 11, to the San Diego Chargers.


It's going to be a quiet first round for the Big 12 this April without a ton of NFL-bound talent, but we'll see how the leagues' talents fluctuate throughout the draft process with pro days and the combine still to come
