Below is an interesting stat from this ESPN Insider article

"Meanwhile, the Big 12 is set to become the most entertaining conference on the planet.
Actually, it already was.
Conference games decided by one score, 2018-23
The B1G & SEC has most of the money but the top 4-6 teams in each conference dominates but the B12 has most of the fun despite less earnings. For example, think back to TCU's crazy magical season two years ago. That final play at BU has to be up there with ridiculous endings.
This season in a way comes down to how the B12 plays in nonconference games. Every fanbase should root for just about every B12 team vs another P4 team this season. Below is that schedule.
The SEC and Big Ten are better -- and richer -- but no one will have more fun than the Big 12
