I put this in the syndication board, but maybe it could fit this board as well: I was wondering who syndicated the "Phillips 66 Big Eight Game of the Week" on Saturday afternoons back in the mid-to-late 80s and early 90s?

That makes a little sense, seeing that one of the teams featured in that package (Missouri) is now an SEC school, and Raycom/JP/LF ran SEC Sports for many years until ESPN's syndication hub took over.
from wiki (take it as you wish)

Since its inception, it has produced and distributed football and basketball games from the Atlantic Coast Conference. (It was also a distributor of games from the Big Eight and Big Ten conferences, as well as the now defunct Southwest Conference.)

By 1988, fewer than ten years after the company was founded, Raycom was producing more than 500 events a year and was the dominant regional television sports network for college basketball and football. In addition to the ACC, Southwest and Big Eight, the company held the television rights to the Big Ten (1989-1995), Pac-10 (1987-1995), PCAA (1985-1987) and Metro Conference (1985-1995). Pre-season football games, such as the Kickoff Classic (1985-1992) and later the Disneyland Pigskin Classic (1990-1994), were also televised by Raycom.
In addition to broadcasting games, Raycom also secured title sponsorships to both the Goodyear Pac-10 Basketball Tournament (1988, 1989) and the Phillips 66 Big 8 Basketball Tournament (1988-present). Now known as the Phillips 66 Big 12 Basketball Tournament, this is currently the longest-running title sponsorship of any sporting event.
