## Resource

Big 12 quarterbacks face a defining moment—can the conference reclaim its reputation as a QB powerhouse after the departures of Oklahoma and Texas? Mike G. and Christian Rao debate whether stars like Bear Bachmeier, Noah Fifita, and Avery Johnson can elevate their teams and ignite a new golden era for Big 12 football. From Heisman memories with Baker Mayfield, Vince Young, and RG3 to bold predictions for BYU and Kansas State, every angle is on the table. The hosts power-rank top QBs, spotlight breakout candidates like Devin Dampier and Alonzo Barnett III, and play an intense game of “Would you rather”—asking what fans value more: a lone national title or sustained playoff contention. With sharp analysis and passionate fandom, the show probes what it means to chase college football immortality in the ever-shifting Big 12 landscape.
