Thought I tossed a softball out there yesterday, but perhaps you trust me too much — though by now, I figured you knew better than that. Anyhow, the 2015-16 bowl schedule is official and also enormous, and I spotlighted two dates reserved for the Big 12, namely Dec. 29 and Jan. 2. That’s when the Big 12 has spots in five bowl games … and a sixth is on Jan. 1, which I completely misread. My bad.

But that’s not where you missed and where I thought we’d meet for intellectual congress. There’s a Dec. 26 bowl involving a Big 12 team and a Conference USA team and, well, the potential is interesting to say the very least.
