Seems about right... Basically a round robin to showcase of the best 5 teams of the Big 12 nationally. The star power of KU and OSU draw eyes thus there programs get the extra games.

Baylor only got 2 as well? I figured since they beat Iowa for the National Title, they would have gained more exposure..
Its funny to see Texas lumped in with Tech and TCU shutouts. Rick Barnes' seat is on fire.
Makes you wonder if this means more games pumped to the LHN? ESPN will still find ways to get Texas on TV.
KU would have probably been our only shot and since that is Big Monday I say no...
Fran Fraschilla @franfraschilla 21m You can tell I'm excited about @Big12Conference Big Mondays: Wiggins, Ejim, Smart, Austin, Jefferson, Seldon, Hield, Nash, Niang, Brown...
Cool to get two. How long has it been since that happened? Maybe 2006? (Seems like KU and Texas each were Big Monday games that season...would have to check).
I like opening season w/ Kansas, although I'd prefer it be on the road and have the Big Monday game at home later ... but I assumed order might flip-flop from last season.

Yes! This is outstanding!
I like that they made sure that each team played half of their Big Monday games at home, and half on the road. That's strangely equitable.
And Kansas................Is it January 13th yet?

There are 6 team on that list. I assume you don't count KSU like Abe Simpson doesn't count Missouri

I'd like a countdown calendar for this one.
I may have to make one of those grade school things with one ring for each day, and tear off a ring every day until this one.
