This is the last year for the Big 12 Conference as we know it.
2010 will be a death knell for the current Big 12 Conference as the Nebraska Cornhuskers bolt from the dominance of the Texas-led South to head into new and decidedly different waters in the Big Ten Conference.
Colorado also makes a bow, heading meekly west into the Pac Ten conference. That will leave the Big 12 with ten teams and the Big Ten with 12. Anomalies anyway you look at it.
Nebraska looks to head out on a high note, leading the underdog Northern Division of the Big 12. The Cornhuskers might exit, winning the Conference Championship outright for the first time since 1999 when Nebraska defeated Texas 11-6. Last year Nebraska fell to Texas 13-12 on a controversial call.
