There's this thing in America called the "Big XII Conference," okay?
The Roman numerals are to give it an aura.
The Big XII has the aura of lol. It only has X members. It needs Aura U and Aura State to join.
The Big XII wanted to get to XII members and auditioned something like three dozen U's to get to the magic number...And then decided, "Nah, we'll just stay at X."
Four Big XII universities are located in the state of Texas. Two in contiguous Oklahoma, two more in contiguous Kansas, one in contiguous Iowa. So the Big XII makes sense contiguous-wise. But that's only IX. The X'th school is West Virginia which is four contiguous-es away from the Contiguous IX.
Yesterday, the College Football (tackle) Playoff committee announced the four schools it had chosen to participate in the national championship playoff. For the second time in three years no Big XII school was chosen.
Big XII commissioner "Bob" "Bowlsby" didn't understand:
"I'm not sure what I advise my members right now, because we've been telling them that nonconference schedules matter, and one of the four [Washington] has an exceedingly weak nonconference schedule.
"We've told our schools you shouldn't be surprised if you don't get in if you play a weak nonconference schedule, and then somebody with a weak nonconference schedule does get in. It's just another case in which we need to seek clarification."
And LOST two of the three non-conference teams they played, one at home by three touchdowns. No team that made the final IV had more than I loss. So, the "clarification" that Master Bowlsby needs is, "Just win, baby."

This is what makes the Big XII lol-able! The conference's champion, Oklahoma, did indeed play a strong non-conference schedule:
Houston
Louisiana-Monroe
Ohio StateAnd LOST two of the three non-conference teams they played, one at home by three touchdowns. No team that made the final IV had more than I loss. So, the "clarification" that Master Bowlsby needs is, "Just win, baby."
