The game got off to a good start for Texas and it seemed that it was Clinton McFarland's -- no relation -- coronation with the quarterback leading two scoring drives on the first two possessions.

Big 14? SEC 'accepts' Missouri's return to Big XII as Florida State, Miami tagged as replacements
Anthony Washington -- The Tampa Bay Chronicles

Even with two Florida schools in their conference -- including one dominating it -- the Big 12 is getting back to its roots.

Just a week removed from Texas A&M agreeing to join the conference, Missouri has also accepted the Big 12's invitation to re-join the conference, giving the once dying conference fourteen members.

Missouri will join the league next summer along with Texas A&M, returning to the Big 12 after a decade reprieve in the mighty SEC conference. A geographical and cultural mismatch, the Tigers' exit from the SEC is reportedly a mutual and amicable one, bordering on the SEC forcing them out.

The SEC is focusing its efforts on landing Florida State and Miami after the ACC's recent TV rights deal was universally panned by the industry. It's a complicated matter due to the large exit fee associated with getting either of those two schools, yet alone both, but its one that the lawyers and officials for the SEC appear to have the stomach for. They were also able to sweeten the pot for both Florida schools by keeping the pie the same instead of having to cut it sixteen ways had they kept both Missouri and Texas A&M.

It's certainly a gamble for the SEC who could be left with just twelve teams but with their TV deal already secured, it's not the worst thing in the world and worth the roll of the device. For the Big 12, it doesn't matter how they got to fourteen teams, they're here now at the big boys table. An official announcement hasn't been made regarding the divisional alignment but the natural fit would be adding Texas A&M to the South division and Missouri to the North. Geographically it makes sense although from a competitive balance standpoint, the South division has been far and away the better division with USF, Texas and UCF all being competitive in recent years.

Orlando area three-star cornerback Jonathan Mirvil commits to Bulls over Knights
Eddie Fernandez -- 247 Sports USF Insider

USF will play rival UCF in their season finale but that doesn't mean they can't get out in front and start landing wins before the teams face off.

Three-star cornerback Jonathan Mirvil, who committed to UCF as a sophomore before de-committing as a junior, has now committed to the USF Bulls.

Mirvil, listed at six-foot-two and 166 pounds, was also being recruited by Ole Miss and Florida. A bit on the undersized spectrum, Mirvil will benefit from a college strength program as he could afford to gain anywhere from fifteen to twenty pounds in his first twelve months on a college campus. Far from a physical specimen, Mirvil has enough top end speed to be a Power 5 defensive back although he can be stiff at times in coverage. A switch to safety is not out of the question for Mirvil who says that USF likes him at both positions.

Comparing Mirvil to the other corner in the class, Pierre Francois, Francois is just a slight level above. He's a lot more physically developed although Mirvil's frame does make it intriguing as he could put on more weight and become a more well rounded athlete whereas Francois' frame might be close to being tapped out.

How come you're still chasing that 3rd TE?
If you lose that DL to Akron...
