By Jack Crosby
We start to see more and more signs that the college football season is just around the corner in 2014, and we got one more on Thursday as the Big 12 Conference announced the early and special date TV selections.
Big 12 Football action will get kicked off over the Labor Day weekend, and two teams from the conference have match ups with huge powerhouses.
The West Virginia Mountaineers will open up in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff against the Alabama Crimson Tide, while later that night, the Oklahoma State Cowboys will take on the defending national champion Florida State Seminoles in Dallas.
Here’s a look at the entire schedule that was released on Thursday, courtesy of the Big 12 Conference:
