Patrick Mahomes makes Big 12 history

So, this stat of no Big 12 quarterback ever winning an NFL playoff game is true as far as we can tell, but it comes with some notable qualifiers.
For starters, we’re only talking about the Big 12 Conference, not its predecessors in the Big 8 or the Southwest Conference. The Big 12 was formed in 1996 when the Big 8 absorbed Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Baylor from the Southwest, creating the conference we know today plus and minus a couple schools.
There have also been players who played quarterback in the Big 12 that have been on NFL playoff game-winning rosters. Notably, Iowa State grad Seneca Wallace was on a winning Seahawks team during the game that haunts Tony Romo’s darkest nightmares. But counting Wallace and others wouldn’t really honor the spirit of the stat.
We’re talking about a player who played quarterback at a Big 12 school and won an NFL playoff game while playing quarterback, and that simply hadn’t happened until Mahomes and Co. triumphed in Kansas City.
So that erases a rather embarrassing stat for the conference, but then again, most schools in the conference would probably be more happy if they had the quarterback who won the conference’s first ever College Football Playoff game.

wow, thats pretty surprising
sorta along the lines of a surprising qb stat as well
was reading about the upcoming draft and obviously Haskins is a high projected pick, clearly first round. The article stated he could be the first Big 10 Qb taken in the first round since Kerry Collins.....that just doesnt even seem possible that a big 10 qb hasnt been taken in the first round since 1995 but its true.

Troy Aikman played at Oklahoma and Slash played in the conference too. They've both won playoff games.

It was the Big 8 then. They are just talking the Big 12 which has been in existence since 1996.

Big12 QB's are to the NFL what Duke players are to the NBA. With only a few exceptions, the star players at Duke have been average to bad in the NBA.

They did play in the conference. There were 8 teams in the conference instead of 12.

Did the record books start over when the PAC-10 became the PAC-12?

Slow down young-timer. The record books for Big 8, Southwest Conference and the morphed Big 12 are distinctive


For example https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/conferences/big-12/leaders/rush-yds-player-career.html

Note the absence of both Earl Campbell and Eric Dickerson.....who interestingly enough finished their respective careers with just seven yards difference (and a diff of just 25 total carries)
