Don't look now, but the Big 12 is off to a 5-1 start in bowl games.

Let's go.

Welcome in.

I'm Pete Mundo on Heartland College Sports.

We cover the Big 12, and, man, we are off and running in bowl season.

I wanted to wait until all the bowl games were in the books, but I'm sitting here and I'm like a five in one
