When is Bedlam Football’s traditional date? If you go off the last dozen years, it’s the end of the regular season. If you go back to the early 1980s, there were many October and mid November meetings. Where it will fall on the schedule next season? “I don’t know the answer,” Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said. Since 2005, the game has been the regular-season finale for the Sooners and Oklahoma State.
Some years it’s been the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Since the Big 12 did away with the conference title game prior to the 2011 season, it’s been played the first Saturday in December three times, including this season. Castiglione said where it falls on the schedule is due to requests from the Big 12’s television partners — ESPN and FOX. They want big games at the end of the season and the Sooners and Cowboys tend to deliver them. The issue the Bedlam game faces is the re-instatement of the Big 12 title game. The confer-
ence announced in October the teams that are Nos. 1 and 2 in the standings will meet for the 2017 title. The Big 12 is the only league using this method, but it’s the only Power 5 Conference with less than 12 members. Keeping the round-robin schedule for the regular season guarantees the game will be a rematch. But most would prefer it not be a rematch of a game played the previous week. Either the Sooners and the Cowboys have finished Nos. 1 See FUTURE Page 11
“It’s crossed our mind, but I don’t know what it will be. It also might be a deal where we have an approach for the first couple years and then shake it up the next couple years. There isn’t an approach that guarantees it won’t occur and there isn’t a single approach that guarantees one will.”
